African Christian University


Dr. Kenneth Turnbull , Executive Director, African Christian University :
Higher education continues to be one of the most sought after commodities in Africa (For more information see “ACU Background”). The Reformed Baptist Church Association of Zambia (ReBCAZ) has responded with a vision for mobilizing the church to fill the present great demand for higher education with an approach founded on the truth and the power of God in the Gospel. This vision includes a reformation of higher education through holistic academic pursuits that fully retain the presuppositional base of God as the Creator and Sustainer of all there is to learn. Holy Spirit-directed mind renewal is sought as faculty labor in mentored academics incorporating intelligent labor under the discipling direction of professionals in all areas of business, trades and the industrial arts. This unifies the community with the education environment for a benevolent outworking of faith, a worldview transforming experience in seeing the dominion responsibility of the cultural mandate brought to fruition, and an approach to sustainability that seeks a reproducible model for indigenous, Christian, higher education in developing countries (For further information see “Gospel Derived Education”). This is African Christian University (ACU).
