OTCS Zambia Kicks Off, Welcoming Field Pastors and Missionaries

Zambia Olivet Theological College and Seminary conducted an interview with new students of this coming semester through an onsite and online platform. Questions asked referred to the students' purpose of learning, experience in the mission field, knowledge of the Bible, and their life and family support. 

Students were from various backgrounds including Zambia, Egypt, Kenya, Zimbabwe, and Rwanda. They are involved in different churches and ministries of Olivet Assembly of Africa. 

Students shared their wish to increase their knowledge of the Bible and to be able to become a pastor or minister of the church. Pierre, a student leader in YEF, shared, "I want to be a pastor", and YEF leader Wegner said, "I want to work for the Kingdom of God".

Zambia Olivet Theological College and Seminary decided to receive all students as their family and to support them to learn. Missionary James, OTCS Professor Julu, and Pastor Chama will be teaching the new students through onsite and online classes.
