In Zambia, Baptist Mission Australia is partnering with Baptist Associations in Zambia in a holistic transformation strategy. We are joining together in leadership development and training of pastors, as well as funding scholarships to equip leaders.

Despite 87% of the population being Christian, the church in Zambia faces many challenges including spiritual warfare and false prophecy. Many Zambian Christians are led astray by prosperity doctrine and, as such, there is a great need for accurate, scripture-focused teaching in churches.

In 1998 the last permanent team member from Baptist Mission Australia left Zambia, however, today partnerships with three church groups continue. An important part of work with these churches is preparing trainers to teach community leaders and pastors.

Baptist Mission Australia partners with the Central Baptist Association of Zambia and its skills-training program at the recently completed Roger Kemp Institute (RKI) in Kapiri. The RKI is working towards offering practical training in carpentry, plumbing, tailoring, computers and mechanics. This training will enable youth and the unemployed to develop income-generating skills. They are currently offering primary and secondary school. 

We’re also supporting CBAZ as they deliver in-situ, tailored, cost-effective leadership training that supports the train the trainer model and multiplies missional impact.
