​
​Here are some of their stories after graduating from PIZ.

​Cecilia Mumbi

“My name is Cecilia Mumbi and I completed my studies and graduated from Proclamation Institute Zambia in 2016 (the only lady in the class of 11 students). 
​
After my studies, I served with PIZ for a year as a publicity and fundraising officer in Kitwe. On the other hand I was still volunteering for Scripture Union Zambia (as I've been a volunteer there since 2012).  

Please pray that the Lord may give me strength to persevere faithfully through to the end of my studies and that I may stay devoted to God and the faithful teaching of the Scriptures to His people. 

Give thanks to the Lord for His sustaining grace through my time at college and especially through this Covid-19 season. Give thanks to the Lord that none of our GWC community members on campus and outside campus have been diagnosed with the virus. 

Give thanks to the Lord for my ever-supportive church family where God placed me from the start of my studies at GWC. The college community has been equally amazing. The Lord continues to use them in ways I could never have thought or imagined.   
​
I am planning to engage in student ministry after my studies. I am not so sure how that will unfold but please pray that God's will may prevail over mine.”  

During that year I applied for further studies in Theological training at George Whitefield College (GWC) in Cape Town and by God's enabling grace, I was accepted to study. I took up the challenge to study further and so reported to college in January of 2018. I am currently in my third and final year of college (hoping to be one of those graduating on the 26th of November, 2020). Please kindly pray that God may carry me through successfully and that all my 3rd year colleagues may also stay strong and complete well too.   

(Cecilia is at GWC with former PIZ students, Joshua, Clemore and Joseph)

​Clemore Hanjalika

​“For two years after PIZ I studied plumbing in Kasama, in the Northern province of Zambia. While there I helped a Baptist pastor to plant a church, which is progressing well. I also served as Chairperson for Zambia Fellowship of Evangelical Students (ZAFES). Being involved with this work gave me opportunities to advertise PIZ in colleges around Kasama. 
 
In 2019 I came to George Whitfield College (GWC) in Cape Town, South Africa, to do a higher certificate in Theology course. I am now on a 3 year Bachelor’s degree program, scheduled to finish, God willing, in December of  2022. 
 
Due to Covid-19 lockdown in South Africa, I was unable to travel home to Zambia where I was supposed to wed last June. God willing, my wedding to Betty Mbewe will now take place in December 2020. Betty is in Zambia, studying nursing. 
 
After my studies I will be looking for opportunities to serve at PIZ as a lecturer and also as an  advertiser for the college. My other option is church planting work. 
 
Pray for me and my fiancée Betty, so that the Lord will grow us in wisdom and knowledge of His Son Jesus Christ. 
 
Pray that Betty completes her studies well in 2021. And pray for me too in my studies."
