Equipping Laborers in God’s Vineyard
God is calling His children from every tribe, tongue, and nation, that they may know His saving love and grace, and praise Him, as Psalm 86:9 describes: “All the nations you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord, and shall glorify your name.”
Among the challenges faced by Christians and the church in Zambia is the need for theological education. The training Ryan received in North America has proven to be invaluable while pastoring a church for over 14 years in Iowa. God is now calling us to faithfully serve Him by serving and sharing with our brothers and sisters in Zambia.
Our vision is to help strengthen the Zambian church, and to equip its pastors and leaders with a solid biblical- theological foundation for their mission in a lost and broken world so loved by God. As a family, we look forward to the ways we will answer God’s call to be a light in this particular part of His world: some ways new and different, and some familiar, as we serve our neighbors and encourage each other in the faith as part of the worldwide body of Christ.
Ryan teaches Church Polity and other Biblical and theological courses at Justo Mwale University in Lusaka, Zambia. In this work, he seeks to obey Paul’s instruction to Timothy: “The things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses, entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.” (2 Tim. 2:2)
