Southern Africa Bible College Philosophy
SABC's mission - To train local men to preach the gospel to their own people is summed up by Paul in II Timothy 2:2,
"The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also."
The soul purpose of SABC is to bring Christ to Africa by means of highly trained graduates who are dedicated, well-versed and sound in the scriptures.
Spreading the Flame is the culmination of more than 40 years of bringing Christ in the southern subcontinent of Africa. Eldred Echols, late veteran missionary to Africa, and Al J. Horne, one of the first converts in South Africa, had a joint-dream...to ignite the fires of gospel outreach in that region and beyond. With the Lord's guidance they formed Southern Africa Bible School (now College) in 1966, established in Benoni, South Africa for the mission to "train Africans to evangelize Africa". Now, more than 600 graduates and former students are proclaiming Christ across the continent of Africa.
National Africans who know the culture and languages are proven and effective in spreading the flame of Christianity. As Africa's only accredited Bible College south of the Equator, a vision for growth will result in churches planted, churches strengthened, and darkness replaced with light.
