The Necessity of Education

IN THE 1970S, MANY AFRICAN CHRISTIANS CALLED FOR AN END TO WESTERN MISSIONS IN AFRICA; THAT IS, EXCEPT FOR ONE AREA - HIGHER LEVEL EDUCATION FROM A BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE. THE MINISTRY WITH WHICH WE SERVE IS ONLY ONE OF TWO DEGREE GRANTING INSTITUTIONS IN THE ENTIRE NATION! FURTHERMORE, ITS HOLISTIC CHRISTIAN MODEL SET AGAINST RELEVANT ACADEMICS IS RARE ON THE CONTINENT. BECAUSE MALAWI IS STABLE, AFRICANS FROM MANY OTHER NATIONS ATTEND ABC. GRADUATES FROM AFRICAN BIBLE COLLEGE RECEIVE AN EDUCATION COMPARABLE TO A WESTERN BIBLE COLLEGE, YET REMAIN IN AFRICA FOR THEIR OWN TRANSFORMING IMPACT. OUR GRADUATES HAVE GONE ON TO EXEMPLIFY THE "CULTURAL MANDATE" BY BECOMING GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, PASTORS, MISSIONARIES, SCHOOL HEADMASTERS, RADIO STATION MANAGERS, JOURNALISTS, TEACHERS, COLLEGE LECTURERS, MEDICAL PERSONNEL, BUSINESSMEN, ETC. OUR AIM IS TO TRAIN THOSE AFRICANS WHO WILL MOST IMPACT AFRICA. IN LIGHT OF THIS, OUR FAMILY TEACHES A VARIETY OF COURSES.
