Making Disciples that Make Disciples
All who enter into our bible school program are equipped to bring the Gospel to the nations! Each disciple has the knowledge of Jesus our savior and the power of the Holy Spirit guiding them to make change in the lives around them.
Our Curriculum
-
We want to make sure that each student has the right foundation. We start their schooling with a series called Complete Salvation based on 1 Thessalonians 5:23. We want them to know how we are saved, what impact it has on us, and what part we play in it. We have had many students, including some pastors, who admitted to us that they did not know what it meant to be born again until this teaching. The last week before they go home we teach on the Holy Spirit, with a focus on being led by the Spirit and Baptism with the Holy Spirit. On the last night before they go home for break we have a special time of ministry for the students.

In Zambia there are many religious groups that teach that you must keep the Law of Moses to be saved. In this three week session we study the books of Galatians and Hebrews line by line. We take it as our responsibility to ensure people are rooted in faith in Christ and not dead works, while still establishing a need for holiness and reverence for God.
-
“Without faith it is impossible to please God…..” Hebrews 11:6. Session three is all about helping the students understand the law of faith. We also focus on the sovereignty of God, and divine healing.
-
We desire this session to be about building some maturity into the students. To accomplish this our studies are in Ephesians and the first eight chapters of Romans. In Ephesians we are giving understanding on the difference between positional truth and temporal truth in scripture. This allows us to help them grasp who they are in Christ and how they should live as Christians. Ephesians also lets us talk about Christian marriage. Romans give strong revelations on how to overcome sin in our lives.

This is their final three weeks and they will graduate at the end of week three. It is important that we teach them how to discover God’s will for their lives and how God works with them to fulfill it. We remain flexible in this session and as we see the needs of the class we have options as to what we can cover. Some of those options are the book of 1 John, As Jesus has loved you, and Biblical Stewardship. We share a vision with each class about ministering to children.
Yearly Follow Up
Our Zambian country director, Tom Siachitema, does regular conferences with our graduates to keep them focused and spiritually fit. We bring our graduate students that are pastors in for a three day conference each year to help them face the challenges of pastoral ministry. In 2023 we did our first annual conference for the wives of our graduates.
Have Questions About our Bible School Program?
Bible School Expeditions
While enrolled, students will have two separate opportunities to be a witness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. These expeditions are crucial to our students because real world experience will always teach more than words. Students will go to an area that graduate students have established the gospel in. Here they have the opportunity to watch graduates minister to those in the area as well as gain experience themselves.
Graduation:
After 15 weeks of hard work and dedication to the Lord, our students graduate, becoming ordained ministers of the gospel!
Since graduating, our former students have been hard at work, striving to accomplish what the Lord has set in their heart to do. See blow for information on each student and what they’ve been up to! Please pray for our young leaders as they continue to walk out God’s will.

The first session is the most impactful for most of the students as it opens up revelation about their salvation that they have never seen. The joy found from being loved by Jesus is a joyful experience for students and directors.
