Beyond the Gate: Stories of Faith, Community, and Resilience in Zambia

Beyond the Gate is more than a photography series — it’s a window into life, faith, and resilience in rural Zambia. Through portraits, landscapes, and everyday scenes, Lynda Green Productions captures the dignity, beauty, and strength of the people and places that shape this mission story.

Her approach blends documentary authenticity with an artist’s eye for light, color, and composition. Every image is crafted to tell a story — whether it’s cattle moving through golden light, children at play, or families gathered in their villages. This collection frames not just what life looks like, but what it feels like: hope, community, and the quiet power of faith lived out in daily moments.
