The Story of Excellence Christian Academy and Spring of Love (Video)

Excellence Christian Academy has duplicated its proven success to reach a village with the Gospel through Christian education.
This was a big milestone and something ITMI’s Eugene Kalunga prayed about for years and worked tirelessly to accomplish.

THE CONTEXT

Africa's staggering social challenges such as the HIV/AIDS pandemic, genocide, poverty, hunger and corruption can be overwhelming. Where do we start? How do we offer help?

While we want to relieve the suffering, hunger and disease, we also want to find roots of these problems and address them.

Educating children in a place where an education is a privilege, turns those children into adults who are leaders. They become the ones with the income and knowledge to hold influential positions.

Raising and educating children with a Christian worldview not only provides a chance for those positions to be filled by people raised with a Christian worldview, it reaches those children and their families with the Good News.

Instead of learning the about world from the streets, ECA students are learning from godly teachers. Instead of understanding the world from a humanistic or Animistic perspective, they are learning about God's world from His Word.

HISTORY

Pastor Eugene Kalunga, a teacher and lecturer at Mongu Teachers’ College, had a burden to serve the Lord by spreading the Gospel of Christ Jesus through education.

He and his fellow Christian teachers began taking students for picnics during school holidays and teaching them the Bible. Many of these gave their lives to the Lord and later became pastors, elders and deacons in churches all over Zambia.

After his training at Highway Christian Academy (Accelerated Christian Education) and Durban Christian Centre, where he received a degree in Theology, he returned to Zambia.

His first child was involved in the public education, but Eugene wanted his children to be taught from a Gospel perspective and know how to share it with others. He removed his child from public schools and started educating him to share the gospel.

Because of Eugene’s love for teaching and for using education to share the gospel, he began teaching other children in the area as well.

When ITMI discovered that this dear brother was homeschooling 50 students in his tiny house, we began raising support for Eugene’s not-so-little school.

ITMI was able to help Eugene purchase some property that was previously owned by the Zambian Railway to use as the grounds for Excellence Christian Academy. Reverend Kalunga and his dedicated teacher-team have turned it into a first-class educational institution.
