Investing in the African Church through
Theological Education

IMG_0716.JPG

We plan to give our lives to the equipping and maturing of the Malawian Church so she can help lead Christianity by 2050. God is already at work. We are joining in this work by providing theological education, trauma counseling, and engaging in humble relational discipleship. Help us invest in and care for African leaders for the long haul. After Daniel finishes his Ph.D in Theology, we will be moving to Nkhoma, Malawi to join the seminary faculty, and serve the local church as a family. Learn more about our story here.

See below to learn more on this crucial work, our path to get there, and how you can join.

Finally, if you would like to see this work take off, please pledge your support!

Yours in Christ,

Daniel & Bethany Robbins

Why Apollos?

Apollos was the first inter-cultural theological educator. He wanted to go and teach Greeks in the area of Corinth, but he himself was a Jew, an immigrant from Alexandria in North Africa. Despite crossing two cultural barriers (Jewish, African) the Lord used him to 'greatly help' the brothers in Achaia. Just as Apollos was invested in by the Ephesian Church (18:26), so, in the same way, he wanted to ply his learning and eloquence for the good of the global church. 

We want to continue his work.

In the language of Acts 18, we wish to cross to the brethren in Africa, who encouraged us to come during our recent trip, so that we might ply our competence in the Scriptures for the good of those "who through grace had believed."

Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, competent in the Scriptures. He had been instructed in the way of the Lord. And being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, ... And when he wished to cross to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him. When he arrived, he greatly helped those who through grace had believed,
— Acts 18:24-27
