Namwianga Mission

As we have traveled this past week, I have come up with another round of frequently asked questions. Many haved asked us about Namwianga Mission.

Namwianga Mission sits on over 7,000 acres four miles from the city of Kalomo in the Southern Province of Zambia. The mission has a farm, a rural health center, a vocational center, two home-based orphan care facilities, a Church Development Center, and schools. The schools on the Namwianga site include a Basic (elementary) school, a Secondary school, and George Benson Christian College. The college trains secondary teachers in the areas of religious education, math, and English. This is where we will be teaching. Namwianga also has other schools under its oversight. These include one other high school, five elementary schools, and four junior high schools. Bible is taught in all of the schools, and students are trained to become church planters. Many leaders in the country of Zambia were educated at one of the Namwianga Mission schools.
