FROM THE FOUNDERS
When people hear
the name “African
Bible Colleges,” we
want them to think
“EXCELLENCE.”
God’s Word
encourages us to
“approve those things
that are excellent
in order to be pure
and blameless.”
Here the apostle
Paul is calling on
Christians to examine in study and to execute
in lifestyle those things which are excellent!
That is our objective at African Bible Colleges
– to examine those things that are excellent
and to encourage excellence in daily living.
In order to achieve our goal of excellence, we
strive to accept into the student boy those who
show promise of excellence, both spiritually
and academically, and then place them in an
environment of excellence – excellent standards,
excellent facilities, excellent curriculum and
excellent staff. Our colleges aspire to offer the
same quality of Christian post-secondary education
that was previously only available abroad.
With excellence as our goal, it is our aim to pour
out into the evangelical churches and mission
organizations across Africa committed Christian
leaders who will live their lives righteously, preach
the gospel powerfully, teach the Word thoroughly,
and witness to their fellow Africans courageously.
Dr. John W. Chinchen, Co-Founder
African Bible Colleges.

ABC UNIVERSITY
HISTORY
African Bible Colleges was first built in
Yekepa, Liberia in the 1970s. In 1992,
after 16 years of operation, the original
ABC campus had to be closed because of
the civil war. After meetings with Liberia’s
newly elected president, Mrs. Ellen Sirleaf,
and her vice president, theis flagship
campus of ABC was officially reopened
in 2008. Many volunteer teams aided in
restoring the beautiful campus, and in May
2012, twenty years after being closed, our
college in Liberia saw the first graduating
class since reopening.
#Chapel #Liberia
LOCATION
The college is located in th community of
Yekepa, high in the beautiful mountains of easter Liberia. This oasis
is ten hours fom Monrovia, the capital city of Liberia. The 22-building
campus includes six residence halls, a 10,000-volume library,
classroom unites, staff housing, a chapel, dining hall, and one of the
few gymnasiums in the country. Liberia is centrally located among a
number of English-speaking countries, enabling the college to enroll
students from Sierra Leone, Ghana, and Nigeria.
WHY WE NEED YOU?
#PraiseAndWorship
“And so it was that the first African
Bible Colleg ws hewn out of the core
of the Shangri-La. The towering Nimba
Mountains filled with some of the richest
iron ore in the world stood like a protecting
giant behind the College and the City of
Lights, as Yekepa was known, surounded
the campus. The campus was soon to
be a bustling little city in itself, with palm
trees lining the road and pathways, and
the students moving up and down those
paths as they rushed to classes or means at
the dining hall. The story of this emerging
college is an amazing series of God’s
providence.” - Nell Chinchen
We encourage you to be a part of this incredibly unique opportunity
tha God has blessed many of our missionaries with. The Liberian
people suffered over 13 years without education, freedom of speech,
the ability to worship together, and preach the Gospel openly.
They’ve just begun to pick up the pieces and open up avenues to re
educate the population. Students in their fifties that were not able
to graduate from ABC have returned to complete their education.
Teachers at this college have the opportunity to help the future
leaders of this country bring about positive change to further Christ’s
kindgom.

In January of 2012, ABC Malawi was granted a license to operate
one of the first TV stations outside of the government station, Malawi
Broadcasting Corporation
(MBC). The station began test
broadcasting on August 16,
2012, and it started airing full
time in November 2012. ABC TV
broadcasts from 6AM to 10PM
seven days a week. The station
is unique because it is used as a
learning students. Students in
the Communication department
help produce, direct, anchor, edit
and write for its programs. ABC
TV currently produces nine local
programs and also has over 400
hours of foreign based content
provided by various stations in
the United States. This is the
first Christian television station to
air in the entire country. Walter
Malskis is the current station
manager, and Tendai Dumbah
is the station’s traffic control
manager.

RADIO ABC
African Bible Colleges operates four FM radio
sations in Africa - two in Malawi, one in Uganda,
and one in Liberia. The college’s Lilongwe
transmission reaches out to the half million
residents of the capital city as well as towns and
villages within a 20 mile radius.
In 2001 ABC opened its second radio station
in malawi in the nothern city of Mzuzu. This
station is able t broadcast in the local Timbuka
language as well as in English.
In Uganda, Radio ABC began broadcasting
Christian programming tothe Kampala metro
area in late 2005 in the cities of Entebbe and
Kampala. This station has the potential of
reaching over 2 million.
Liberia is the birthplace of Radio ABC.
Unfortunately it stopped broadcasting during
the war. But Radio ABC recently began
broadcasting in Yekepa again 2012. Though
power is limited at the college campus in
Liberia, the station is able to broadcast Christian
programmig for up to nine hours a day.
A key component to ABC’s Radio Ministry
is using students in the college’s Mass
Communication Department to do program
production and broadcasting. ABC graduates
are then hired ooperate the four stations in
Lilongwe, Mzuzu, Kampala, and Yekepa.

At all ABC campuses, students and staff are involved in weekly
outreach ministries throughout their communities. They lead
child-evangelism programs in surrounding villages, Bible studies
in homes and hospitals, open-air evangleism in the markets,
and fellowship groups in local high schools. In 1994, the
college in Lilongwe was given permission to begin the first
prison ministry in the country. Stuents have also helped pioneer
child-evangelism work, hospital visitation ministries, and village
evangelism teams.
Music ministry
African Bible College has been blessed with many talented
musicians. In Malawi, the ABC Choir holds two citywide cantatas
each year, and the ABC Quartet can be heard singing almost
evey Sunay in one of the local churches.
sports ministry
The students at African Bible College are also involved in
a number of exciting sports ministries - including summer
basketball camps, coaching high school students, and hosting
Christian athletic teams from abroad.
#PlayingSoccer
“We can be so different culturally, but I’ve
found that Christ can reveal our similarities
through sports. And in Malawi’s case,
soccer. The Malawians have an amazing
passion for the game, but most importantly
I’ve found that the students at ABC also
share a passion for God. I’ve had the
opportunity to see first hand what God is
doing through one of the sports ministries
at ABC. Several of the players on the
soccer team and some graduates started
a ministry in Malawi called “The Chisomo
Idea.” “Chisomo” means “Hope” in
English. This ministry uses the common
ground of soccer in Africa as a tool to reach
the youth of Malawi. Children are both
vulnerable and impressionable, and the
students at ABC realized this. They found
a way to evangelize to the Malawian youth
by combining soccer and the Gospel.”
Students from the college participate in this
ministry every week.

vision
Our aim at ABC Christian Academy is to
bring children to Jesus Christ through an
education that is Christian. Educators
describe the early childhood years as
the 4-14 window. These years, ages 4
to 14, are the years when children are
most likely to come to know Christ. In
fact, 80% of all people who come to
know Jesus Christ as their Savior do so
between the ages of 4 to 14. It is our
goal that we influence these children,
their parents, families, and country
toward Jesus Christ.
goals & objectives
why teach in malawi?
EDUCATION - If your desire is to provide quality education from
a Christian perspective in a multi-cultural environment, this is
the place for you!
MINISTRY - The ABC Christian Academy is unique because it
doesn’t JUST accept Christians into the school. The academy
was founded because Dr. Paul and Laura Chinchen had a desire
to provide a Christian education to the missionary children on
the African Bible College compound. This couple desired for
the Malawian children to benefit from the education of their
own children. They wanted more than a mission school As a
teacher at ABCCA, you would have the chance to witness to
people from diverse religious backgrounds.
CULTURE - The ABC Christian Academy’s student body is
made up of 19 different nationalities. Your experience in
the classroom would be very cultural and educational. For
grades K-4 through grade 6 we have a Teaching Assistant
mentor program. We place an African Bible College education
graduate in the classroom with our missionary teacher for a
2-year internship. This allows our teachers to help guide and
work side by side to help young teachers learn from a western
style of education. In return, our graduates help our missionary
teachers learn about Malawi, its people and its culture. This
program helps give perspective and enhance the classroom
experience.
1. The primary goal of the ABC Christian Academy is
to provide a quality Christian education in a Christian
environment for the Christian families of Lilongwe.
This quality education will be implemented through
the development of high standard facilities, the
recruitment of qualified teachers incorporating
quality curriculum and making Christ the center of
every endeavor.
2. The ABC Christian Academy strives to function
as an extension of the Christian family by creating
an environment where loving and capable Christian
teachers can cooperate closely with the parents
in every phase of the student’s development. As
Proverbs 22:6 reminds us, “Train up a child in the way
he should go, and when he is old he will not depart
from it.”
EXPERIENCE - The ABC Christian Academy is well-known for
its many after school activities. We encourage our teachers
to pursue a more well-rounded ministry by getting involved
in our Upward Basketball, art program, yearbook club, band,
show choir, swim team, drama and number of other athletic
programs. The ABC Christian Academy also partners with Ballet
Magnificat from Jackson, Mississippi for an after school ballet
program that is bringing this beautiful art to Africa for children
to learn and enjoy.
3. It is our desire that each student develop a
personal faith in Christ, and that their education at
the ABC Christian Academy enhance their spiritual
growth and shape a Christ-like character.
4. The ABC Christian Academy seeks to give each
student, through a broad range of social, spiritual,
physical and mental activities, the opportunity to
pursue growth in each of these areas and shape a
Christ-like character.

#ClassroomSetting
MISSIONS - To fulfill The Great Commission. In Matthew 28:1620 we are challenged by Jesus Himself to “make disciples of
all nations” and to teach the nations everything that God has
commanded us.
AfricanBibleColleges.net
OUTREACH - The African Bible College provides
outreach ministries for the college students that we
encourage our staff to participate in! Every Thursday
groups of students will work in orphanages, minister
in the prison, work with widows, provide medical
care, and more. The ABC Christian Academy also
works closely with Chitipi, a ministry of Children of
the Nations.
TRAVEL & ADVENTURE - Malawi is home to the third
largest and deepest lake in Africa! And it’s only 3
hours away from Lilongwe. Many of our teachers will
take weekend excursions to the lakeside or spend
holidays there. Mount Mulanje is Malawi’s highest
peek, reaching up to 3,002m. Located at the base of
this large mountain are the beautiful tea plantations
of Thyolo. This part of Malawi is definitely worth
taking a trip to. Many staff members have been
on safari in Zambia, climbed Mount Kilimonjaro
in Tanzania, or white water rafted in Zimbabwe.
Malawi’s neighboring countries offer some great
experiences for those who are interested in traveling
during the fall, winter, or Easter holidays.
mission statement
ABC Christian Academy is a Christ-centered,
international school dedicated to sharing God’s
love through quality education in a professional,
caring environment. As a staff, we strive to
equip our students: By modeling Jesus Christ
and teaching the truth of God’s Word. By
meeting the diverse academic, and social needs
for our students. By presenting challenging
curriculum in creative ways.

accomodation
The African Bible College strives to provide staff housing to all of
its missionaries. Families and single teachers are provided with
accommodation on the African Bible College mission within walking
distance of the school in lightly furnished duplexes. The African
Bible College, ABC Christian Academy, and ABC Community Clinic
in Malawi are located on a large compound (50 acres), surrounded
by a 6 foot brick wall with electric fencing and razor wire. ABC is
protected by G4S, the local security personnel, and college student
guards. Each house is also equipped with a panic button for
emergency security service and burglar bars. The Academy has a
fleet of four vehicles available for teacher use. Wireless Internet is
also available on the campus.
#AbcChristianAcademy
#AcademyPlayground
Our goal is to provide all single teachers with their own bedroom
and bathroom. On few occasions, teachers will have a roommate.
Duplexes come with appliances (stove, fridge, and washer/dryer
facilities). All housing is connected to the main campus generator
for power outages and a sizable back up water tower for each unit.
food
am i qualified?
We prefer our teams of teachers to be certified. Most
Academy teachers come straight out of university
with a teaching credential. As a single missionary or a
young married couple, it is sometimes easier to come
to Africa. However, we also have teaching staff that
are university graduates, but have a special talent or
degree that is useful. We have had art majors teach
art. If you are a computer major, then we can use you
to teach computer. If you are a math major, then we
can use you to teach middle/high school math.
A number of grocery stores in the capital city of Lilongwe offer a
large selection of South African products on the shelves. Some
American brands can be recognized as well (Heinz, Kellongs,
Nestle, etc). You will have access to things such as pasta, cereal,
canned food items, rice, tea, coffee, beef, chicken, fish - even some
frozen foods. Fresh fruits and vegetables are abundant at the local
market. You can eat or cook like you would in America, but it may
cost you more to find those comfort foods in Malawi. Bakeries
in town supply fresh bread. Most missionaries prefer to drink the
boxed or powdered milk off the shelves because it lasts longer.
However, fresh milk is also available in town.
If you are willing and able, we can use you. Moving
overseas to teach in a new country and in a new
culture can be scary but it is also full of blessings
and rewards. Will you take that step of faith? Please
consider helping to raise the standard of education in
Malawi and come join us.
The African Bible College does have a vegetable garden on campus
that is accessible for all staff. There are a few good restaurants in
town (Indian, Italian, Chinese) as well. The concept of “fast food”
doesn’t exist in Malawi just yet. And of course, there are many local
foods available to try! Some foods include “Nsima” (corn meal local staple), Nugumbies (flying termites) and more. Frozen and
canned foods can be pricey but cooking fresh and from scratch is a
talent you will develop.
#ChapelTime

medical insurance
Each teacher is responsible for signing up for his
or her medical insurance before leaving for the
mission field. In the 15 years that the ABC Christian
Academy has been open, only one teacher
was evacuated due to an ectopic pregnancy.
Finding insurance that covers emergency medical
evacuation is a responsible precaution that is
absolutely necessary. Please visit www.imglobal.
com to sign up for international insurance.
raising support
All missionary teachers are required to raise their
own support. We have established that single
teachers can live comfortably off of $1200 a month.
Once you have submitted your application online,
you will be contacted by the stateside office and/or
recruiter. The ABC home office staff will help you fill
out a support quota worksheet in order to help you
decide what your monthly expenses will be.
Raising support can be intimidating and humbling.
We are able to offer tuition at a lower rate than
most international schools because our missionary
teachers are self-supported. We have people on
our team that can help you understand the process
and walk you throughout this. As a missionary
teacher you need the support of people praying
for you and your ministry and you also need
funding. However, we do not want finances to
keep you from going to the mission field. The
ABC Christian Academy will help its teachers with
funding if necessary. We will match what you raise
up to $600 per month. We also ask our teachers
to fund raise for their round trip air ticket to Malawi
(approximately $2,500.00) or a one time gift. If a
teacher is having difficulty with this the Academy
will help up to half (or $1,250.00) for the ticket).

In a country where diseases like Malaria, Cholera, Bilharzia, and
Typhoid Fever are commonplace, it is important to have reliable
health care. In Lilongwe, booming population growth combined with
poverty-level income has contributed to a health care system that
is desperately underfunded and outdated. African Bible Colleges
has built the first Christian Community Clinic in the capital city. This
medical facility provides much needed quality health care for ABC
students, missionaries, and faculty, as well as for the residents of the
surrounding community.
outpatient services
We offer a low-cost “non-private” clinic to provide quality medical
care at an affordable price. We also have a private clinic, an “under
5” child wellness clinic, and a nutrition education clinic. We also
offer a mobile clinic to a nearby village and occasionally visit a nearby
prison to offer medical services.

Communicate with physicians in South Africa in
order to offer their patients the most accurate
diagnosis/medical advice possible.
AUDIOLOGY CLINIC - Peter and Rebecca
Bartlett, two licenses Audiologists from
Australia, have helped jump start this brand
new ministry at the ABC Community Clinic. The
Audiology clinic was recently opened on the
Africa Bible College compound in 2013. Not
only are they training clinic staff and treating
patients, but ABC is now offering Audiology as
a concentration for students who attend the
college. Students are now interning at the clinic
and participating in weekly mobile clinics every
Thursday afternoon.
health education
Health care in Africa is futile if it is not
accompanied by education. Therefore, the ABC
Community Clinic has incorporated educational
programs. The Mobile Clinic service of the
hospital holds classes in the surrounding
villages on nutrition, hygiene, and preventative
health care. These courses particularly target
child care to help reduce infant mortality in the
region, which is among the highest in the world.
how can you be
involved?
We invite you to become an important part
of this exciting ministry at the African Bible
College in Malawi. We need short and longterm doctors and nurses. We need medical
supplies and equipment donated. We need
financial support for both the construction and
continued operation of the clinic.
malawi
program
This is a unique experience designed for college students where
they have the opportunity to take the love of Christ to the people of
Africa, to experience first-hand the hardships that people in Africa
face, and to play a part in changing their lives forever. This program
was created to help change college students’ outlook on the world,
perspective on missions, and develop an appreciation for what God
is doing in the world. Young people in Africa are DESPERATE for
higher education, and are eager for the kind of education we offer at
African Bible Colleges. Our students cannot cover the cost of tuition
on their own, so they need our help. This short-term missions trip to
Malawi, Africa can make a real and lasting difference.
why do it?
how the process works
STEP 1: Pray about it!
In addition to raising funds for your own trip, we are asking you to
find four sponsors to help an African student at one of our colleges.
Only $39.00 a month (a 12-month commitment) for four different
sponsors will help put a student through one year at ABC.

malawi
project jeumbo
The ABC Christian Academy in Malawi, Africa
has initiated a new outreach program to needy
children in rural village schools called “Project
Juembo” -- [Juembo means “Bag” in the local
language Chichewa]. It is an exciting opportunity
for kids at our academy to help other children in Malawi, but we can’t
do it alone -- we have also asked for help from people in the States.
The children in villages not far from our mission often do not have
the resources to purchase basic school supplies. Students are often
compelled to share pencils and bits of paper. Additionally, most
children walk at least a mile or two to school -- many of them barefoot,
because they cannot afford decent shoes that will hold up to their daily
commute on foot.
Project Juembo is a unique opportunity for you to directly help
someone who is attending school in Africa. We encourage you to
participate by purchasing and filling a back pack with all the supplies a
Malwian student would need to attend school.
Project Cost: The cost to ship and distribute each back pack is $14.00.
Should you feel compelled to make an additional donation to our
missin in Malawi, we would be very grateful. Your gift will be ued to
help cver travel expenses to villages or provide more bags for needy
students.
no one can do
everything, but everyone
can do something
Project Juembo is both UNIQUE &
INTERACTIVE:
- Picking out supplies and loading the
bak packs takes a lot of thought and
preparation
- We provide a luggage tag so you can
insert your picture and the student in Africa
can see who has helped them
- We also ask tht you include your email
address on the luggage tag so we can take
a picture of the Malawian students wth his/
her new back pack, and email the photo
back to you
- The students attending the ABC Christian
Academy will be involved in distributing
the back packs in the villages
- We ask that you and your families
consider visiting Malawi in the summer to
assist our mission in distributing the back
packs in rural villages
calling all kids - u.s. to malawi - interaction is key - a joy to give

the history of african
bible colleges
The vision for Christian colleges in Africa began in
the hearts of Dr. and Mrs. John W. Chinchen. After
spending seven years training pastors in the interior
of Liberia, the Chinchens realized the great need for
a Bible College that would meet the educational and
spiritual needs ofte multitude of high school graduates
emerging from an awakended Africa. In 1976, the
vision became a reality when the Chinchens established
Liberia’s first four-year Bible College. The college was
designed to hold the highest international university
standards an eet he qualifications to offer a bachelor of
arts degree in Biblical studies.
African Bible Colleges is chartered and
registered as a Christian education
institution and mission organization with the
governments of Liberia, Malawi, Uganda,
and the United States.
President Dr. Paul Chinchen
and Mrs. Laura Chinchen
As the graduates in West Africa proved the value
of quality Christian education - dedicated Christian
leaders who could truly have a transforming impact
onthe continent - it became imperative that this same
ministry be made available to other parts of Africa.
Thus, in 1988, African Bible Colleges established a
second institution 4,000 miles away in the East African
country of Malawi. Seventeen years later, in 2005, the
third African Bible Colege was opened in the equatorial
country of Uganda.
Toay African Bible Colleges has more than 1,000
graduates serving in a wide spectrum of Christian
ministries - from prgrm production at TransWorld Radio,
orphan care with Children of the Nations, leadership
positions at Campus Crusade (Life Ministries), and HIV
ministries with World Relief, to planting churches in
the former communist stronghold of Mozambique ABC graduates proving to be key components to the
evangelization and transformation of Africa.
