Gospel Armory Christian Academy, Zambia News:
It was like a dream coming true when this school started, this school is only for the orphans housed at AOB and to vulnerable children in the community who have no access to education. It is sad that in Zambia, schools like Nurseries, preschools, and really any quality education is only for rich people. Those who are under privileged, poor, or needy can never go to a such a school such as we have started at the Gospel Armory Christian Academy.
Ark of grace school was opened with the aim of helping and giving these children the hope of an education who had no hope of ever going to a school such as this. With the help of many sponsors and partners we have managed to buy boards and chairs; We have raised funds for a qualified teacher; and We even have a Teacher's assistant to help us in this school. Right now we have 30 students at the school receiving a completely free education.
Soon we hope to raise that number to 60 children for one teacher is expected to handle up to 60 children according to the government standard in Zambia.
It’s amazing how several partners have been supporting this school with great and unique school supplies that even the government schools don’t have. The community is now aware of this school at AOG they are wishing to bring their children to this school because of the quality education the children receive here. Once we get more established, those who are doing better in the community and are able to pay; we will allow them to do so as this will be part of raising the funds needed for this school to be self reliant.
The school is in session from Monday through Friday. They start school at 08:30am and go until 3:00 pm. The children do have break times and also have time to rest, and play. The school has followed the Zambian government standard. The children are at school for three months and then on break for one month.
This is how you can pray for us:
Ministry opportunities:
-We want to invite other schools to be doing educational tours of our School facility.
-We invite you to consider making a donation through paypal to fund one of the children education through the school.
-We invite you to sponsor one orphan at only $40.00 per month.

This is how you can pray for us:
- Pray that all children can get uniforms for it’s a requirement by the government. The cost for the school towards each child's uniform is $7.00.
- Pray for more school supplies like chairs, tables, cups, spoons, books, pans, crayons, school bags, etc.
- Most children go without food and most times they opt not to come to school at all. Our prayer is that the school should also be providing food for the children at school. The total budget for this in a School term of three months is $200.00.
- Pray for the completion of the first classroom block that is under construction right now at the promised land. Our desire is that we build 12 class rooms and educate 1,500 children. I know this sounds like a lot, but this is the vision God has placed in my heart. Let us strive to fulfill God's vision for His children.
