The call to serve is greater now than ever before. In Zambia, and across the world, countless souls are in desperate need of love, care, encouragement, shelter, rescue, and deliverance. However, the number of prepared laborers remains few. At Christ Life Ministries, we recognize that one of our divine assignments is to equip and empower ministers to step into this vast harvest field. Yet, the challenges we face in training these ministers—especially within a developing nation like Zambia—require special attention and thoughtful solutions.
In our context, ministers often struggle with low incomes, making it difficult to afford the education they need to serve effectively. Additionally, many gifted individuals are drawn toward more lucrative careers, leaving fewer people dedicated to ministry. To compound these difficulties, there is a scarcity of quality Bible Colleges with the resources to provide the training necessary for impactful ministry. Too often, we find institutions detached from the practical realities of ministry, offering theoretical knowledge without the lived experience of serving in the field.
To address these pressing needs, Christ Life Church has proudly partnered with Rock Point Church and Kairos University, USA, to provide affordable, competence-based theological education. This partnership allows us to train our ministers through a highly regarded, USA-accredited institution while contextualizing the curriculum to meet the unique spiritual, cultural, and societal needs of Zambia. Our focus remains steadfast on shaping the character of our students while offering theological education that is embraced by the wider body of Christ.
As the ministry of Christ Life Church continues to grow, we launched our first theology class in partnership with Kairos University in March 2024. With 20 eager students, the birth of Christ Life University was seen as the fulfillment of their prayers. Through this institution, we are not merely training ministers but raising up a generation of workers for the Kingdom—laborers who will answer the call, stepping into the harvest with both knowledge and integrity, equipped to meet the urgent needs of our time.
In a world where the demand for spiritual leadership is great, Christ Life University stands as a beacon of hope, preparing ministers who will transform their communities and advance the gospel with both heart and wisdom. This institution is not just an answer to a local challenge but a vital response to a global calling.
