In 1967, Christians at the Montgomery Blvd Church of Christ in Albuquerque, New Mexico opened the Church of Christ Bible College. Back then, few would imagine the school would grow to become Manzini Bible School and, now, African Christian College with alumni from throughout Africa serving God’s kingdom.
What would have been even more unimaginable in 1967? 14,000 macadamia trees on the campus that help provide employment and revenue for the college’s operation. On September 7‐10, 2017, hundreds of alumni, students, former staff, board members, and Christians from Southern Africa gathered on the African Christian College campus to celebrate fifty years of God at work.
Attendees were encouraged with biblical lessons from great speakers – including special guests Jerry Taylor and Rick Atchley who led a seminar for preachers the first day – and everyone was uplifted by inspiring worship.

We have several individuals from our congregation who have volunteered to be a part of a BEYM team formed with people around the USA. By Example Youth Missions (BEYM) which is a volunteer-led, non-profit organization dedicated in continuing the mission of teaching God’s word through principles for the daily lives of children in a fun, relaxed camp environment. A mission that started over a decade ago, as a response to God’s call to change the future of an entire nation in the middle of Europe, Ukraine. Currently, we have been unable to go to the youth camps in Ukraine due to not only COVI-19 but including the situation between Ukraine and Russia in the beginning of 2022.
We have been trying to maintain some measure of contact with all our friends in Ukraine. The news comes to us excruciatingly sporadically, but we have confirmed that all of our friends are safe. Of course, their situations vary, depending on where they are at the moment but that has not stopped us in supporting them in different ways.
