Welcome to Mission Press

Mission Press is a religious institution, an initiative of the Conventual Franciscan Friars in Zambia that specialises in printing, publishing and electronic media.

At the moment Mission Press is the largest Christian NON PROFIT orientated printing and publishing institution in Zambia. Since its humble beginning in 1970, it has grown into a truly modern facility. This was possible because of the total dedication of all the Friars and workers at Mission Press during its 39 years of operation.

 

It has never been easy for a religious institution to compete with professionals working in the field of mass media; it is even more difficult to achieve and maintain a leading role in such fields. We can proudly say that Mission Press managed to do exactly that, be it in terms of state of the art, equipment, highly competitive quality production, and value of its message.

 

Mission Press is wholeheartedly committed to fundamental Christian values in promoting social justice and respect of human rights.

Mukuba Awards 2009 + “I want to live” Booklet and CD:

“The kids want to live! We want to live! All people want to live! Sick people want to live!”
“All of us, we would like to live in the situation which we are in and live it positively!”

Father Miha at the 5th Mukuba Award Ceremony - 2009


In 2008 the Mukuba Art Trust, a non-governmental organization of “art lovers” and artists of the Copperbelt whose motto is “CREATE AND CELEBRATE”, added a special category to the annual Mukuba Award Ceremony by engaging Copperbelt High Schools  in writing short stories, painting, drawing as well as composing and singing on HIV/AIDS. This year the competition’s theme was “I want to live”, a title that reflects the Aids victims’ desire to live! Nobody wants to die, everyone wants to live! Especially the youth recognizes this fact and wants to spread this message by living it every day. Therefore this booklet, where you find drawings, short stories and poems written by the youth of selected Copperbelt High Schools for this year’s competition, combined with the CD with the songs performed by the youth and recorded for the competition, shows you the youngsters` awareness about the severe problem of HIV/AIDS with all its roots and symptoms.
