Zambia, as a whole, is a nation in need of more education. We have many people who cannot read. We have people preaching false doctrine because they are not able to study, and learn for themselves. We need accurate teaching. Because of the lack of education and the widespread poverty, training pastors is extremely difficult. Furthermore, pastors in Zambia are largely unpaid. This means their children often lack education as their parents cannot pay school fees. In 2007, the Zambia Provisional Conference resolved that every church pay their pastor approximately $50/month. However, no single church managed to do so. Nine years later nothing more has been done regarding this issue.
