ABM is committed to supporting our partners respond to God’s call of love, hope and justice in their own context. Just as we send our children to school to prepare them for the world they will step into as adults, ABM’s Theological Education Program supports our partner churches in PNG and Zambia provide quality theological education to people preparing for ordained ministry in the Church. Such people need to be educated with the required knowledge, equipped with skills and faithfully formed through quality, contextual theological education to build a strong future for their churches.

ABM supports the Bishop Newton School of Theology, part of the newly formed Modawa Institute of Higher Education just outside of Popondetta in Papua New Guinea, as well as St John the Evangelist’s Anglican Seminary, located in northern Zambia’s Copperbelt Province at Kitwe.

ABM’s Theological Education Program not only strengthens the Church itself, by helping to produce well-qualified graduates, but helps also to build up the capacity of those communities in which those Churches, our Overseas Partners, work. Strong Churches lead to vibrant communities where community development can take place efficiently and effectively.

These colleges have prepared young priests, like Leki Kambari from PNG and Austin Ng’andwe and Timothy Njovu from Zambia, to lead parishes and other faith communities, not just in spiritual matters, but also to improve their physical and social wellbeing.

Your gift to ABM will help our partners train up the next generation of clergy and support the future leaders of the church in PNG and Zambia to be effective workers for the sake of the Gospel.
