FAQ

Occasionally in our BLOG we’ll answer frequently asked questions. One FAQ is “What will you be doing in Zambia?”

At Namwianga Mission, Christian education is a high priority. Three schools operate on the mission site just outside of Kalomo, a busy little town on the Lusaka to Livingstone highway. Children can start in elementary school (basic school) and progress on through to college at Namwianga. Students receive a private Christian education at the basic school, secondary school, and college. We will be teaching at the college named after the late George Benson. At George Benson Christian College students are prepared to be secondary teachers in the core areas of English, Math, and Religious Education. A few students receive training in business skills for employment as secretaries in the business world. GBCC has an enrollment of around 130 students. Those receiving secondary teaching certificates upon graduation are guaranteed teaching jobs by the Zambia government. The students seek teaching assignments in rural schools where teachers are in high demand. The rural (bush) areas are on the edges of the Kingdom of God where people are open to hearing the good news about Jesus Christ. George Benson graduates go to these remote places to teach AND establish kingdom outposts. They are teachers / church planters.  

Linda and I will be assisting these Zambians in their church-planting mission. I will help equip them by teaching various Bible courses and ministry courses. Linda will teach English and education courses. She also plans to develop literacy courses for adults. We will spend most weekends with the students as they go to plant new churches and follow up on newly planted churches. In addition to these activities, we will develop Bible knowledge and ministry related correspondence courses and workshops for the church leaders in the newly planted churches. 

God continues to bless this method of increasing the boundaries of His Kingdom in Zambia. We will join hands with Him and our students in this mission. We invite you to join us by praying for us.
