HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL:

In 1979, the Sullins family went to Kenya, Africa to do mission work for the Lord. While there, they worked in many areas including the slums of Kariobangi, as well as the Railway Training Center. While working with the Railway Training Center Jerry and Edith Sullins met some men from Botswana, Africa, who were soon converted and who showed a great desire to learn more about God and to preach His word. After years of work in Kenya Africa, Jerry and Edith Sullins were challenged by the Moswana's to start a preachers training school in Botswana, Africa. So in 1988, after much planning and preparation, Jerry and Edith (less the kids)went to Gaborone, Botswana (Africa) to start the Botswana School of Biblical Studies.

After two years in the capital city of Gaborone, the school was moved to the village of Mahalapye (about 2 hours north). The school continued to succeed in Mahalapye and prospered for the sake of God. However, in 1996, a fellow brother and missionary in Livingstone, Zambia (Africa) contacted Jerry Sullins and invited the school to come and relocate on his farm in Zambia, rent free! This brothers name is Loyd Henson. Loyd and Pearl are long time missionsaries in Southern Zambia.

After much prayer and further planning the school was moved and the name was changed to the Zambia School Of Biblical Studies. Today the school has a new facitiliy in Livingstone, Zambia and is prospering well with the capacity to train up to 50 men at one time. However, at this time we train anywhere from 15 to 25 due to funds.

It is also interesting to know that many other preacher training schools have arisen through the 108 graduates of the Zambia School Of Biblical Studies. There are now schools in Kampala, Uganda; Nairobi, Kenya; Offinso, Ghana; and as well in Zimbabwe. God continues to bless this good work and all of these wondrous efforts to His glory and praise.
