Your gift legacy gift will create a lasting impact at ABC Learn More Distinctive of a Bible College Education The distinctive function of a Bible College/University is to prepare students for Christian General, and Professional Education. The Bible major (primary course of study) is at the heart of the Bible College/University curriculum. A Bible College/University may also offer Liberal Arts majors provided these are in addition to and do not displace the required Bible major or alter the objectives of the Bible College education. Statement of Faith THE BIBLE The Bible is the verbally inspired Word of God, the written record of His supernatural revelation of Himself to man, absolute in its authority, complete in its revelation, final in its content, and without error. THE GODHEAD God is One God, who reveals Himself in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 1. The Father: who is Spirit, infinite, eternal and unchangeable in all His attributes. 2. The Son, Jesus Christ: His deity, virgin birth, sinless life, substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, personal exaltation at God’s right hand and personal return. 3. The Holy Spirit: who is a Divine Person, equal with the Father and the Son and of the same nature. THE ESTATE OF MAN The fall and lost estate of man, whose total depravity alienates him from God, makes necessary his salvation. 1. Man’s salvation is only by grace, a free gift of God, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, who died for our sins according to the Scriptures. Those who thus are moved by the Spirit of God to receive Christ by faith have their sins forgiven, their hearts cleansed, are born of the Spirit, become children of God and are made new Creatures in Christ. 2. Saved, man is assured of eternal blessedness. Lost, man is assured of everlasting punishment in hell. THE CHURCH The church is the bride of Christ. In its universal aspect, it comprises the whole body of those who have been born of the Spirit, and in its local expression it is established for worship, mutual edification, and witness. THE CHRISTIAN LIFE If man is to fellowship with his Holy God, his Christian life must be holy. God in His grace has made this life available to man: 1. He has given him the Scriptures that he might see sin. 2. He has given him the Holy Spirit to convict of sin. 3. He has given His Son to pay the penalty of sin. 4. He has given him access to His throne of grace that he might confess his sin and be forgiven and cleansed. Christian living includes Christian service, the winning of souls and the preaching and teaching of the gospel in the uttermost parts of the earth in order to fulfill Christ’s great commission. 1. In carrying on this work there is needed the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit. 2. In all this service prayer is to have the central place. THE CHRISTIAN HOPE Jesus Christ will come again to earth the second time. We are to look for His soon coming, yea, to long for it, for He will come personally, bodily and visibly and with power and glory.

Charles + Nancy Cranford ABC Mission aries | Serving in Lilongwe, Malawi Charles and Nancy Cranford are dedicated individuals serving in Lilongwe, Malawi. With a passion for making a difference, they are committed to serving the people and communities in need.. Support the Cranfords About Charles and Nancy Cranford are a dedicated couple serving in Lilongwe, Malawi. Charles, originally from Nashville, pursued his passion for English and graduated from the University of Tennessee. Nancy, hailing from Knoxville, also attended the University of Tennessee, majoring in Nutrition. Their paths converged when they met through a small group at Christ Presbyterian Church in Nashville in 2015, and they tied the knot in August 2016. ​ The newlyweds spent their first year of marriage in Belize, Central America, where Charles had been committed to service since his teenage years. Following their time in Belize, they returned to Nashville. Charles taught middle school for four years, and Nancy worked as a pediatric clinical dietitian before transitioning into academia. ​ Since 2017, Charles and Nancy have sought God's guidance for future mission opportunities. In late 2020, they were led to ABC, and their hearts were captivated by the prospect of serving in Malawi. They wasted no time and promptly applied and accepted an offer to join the ABC team. ​ Charles' role in Malawi involves working at ABC Christian Academy, focusing on English, History, and Bible classes at the upper school level. He also teaches Christian Education at the Bible College. Nancy teaches Science and Health at ABC Christian Academy. Additionally, both Charles and Nancy engage in extracurricular activities such as leading After School Clubs and coaching sports like soccer and volleyball. ​ The Cranfords embody Matthew 28:16-20, perceiving the Great Commission as an unfinished work. They recognize God's heart for the nations, as expressed in Romans 10:14-15, emphasizing the importance of preaching and making Him known. Their passion aligns with ABC's vision, which aims to raise up changemakers to serve Africa through Christian education, radio and TV ministries, healthcare, and various other avenues. ​ ABC focuses on empowering African leaders who possess a deep understanding of their communities. These leaders can effectively address their physical and spiritual needs. The Cranfords strongly believe in the significance of local leadership and their ability to create impactful change. You Can Make a Difference ​ Participating in the Great Commission can take various forms, with both going and sending being equally vital. While not everyone is called to relocate overseas, everyone can contribute to the global work of God. We invite you to join us in serving the students of African Bible Colleges and ABC Christian Academy. Here are ways you can get involved: ​ Pray: Commit to regular prayer for us, the ministries of African Bible Colleges, and the people of Lilongwe, Malawi.

The students of ABC Christian Academy and Bible College, navigating their educational journeys in difficult times. Our transition as we bid farewell to loved ones, prepare to relocate and establish our lives in Malawi. Our families, who support our decision but make a sacrifice in sending us overseas.
