Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>The dark cloud has engulfed African Bible College ( ABC) following the demise of its Chancellor Paul Chinchen. According to a statement, Chinchen died on Wednesday July 6,2022 at his home in Jackson, Missippi, United States of America (USA) after a long battle with heart attack.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Church around the world in general and the ABC Mission and Family in particular have lost a great leader and champion for Christ and Christian education; who devoted his life to the development of devout Christian leaders for the church, missions, education, government, media, non-profits, business, social work, community development, health care, and sports,\u201d reads the statement in part.<\/p>\n

The late Chinchen had just returned from a mission trip to Malawi, where he was presenting degrees to graduates of ABC at a ceremony which was presided by President Lazarus Chakwera in Lilongwe.<\/p>\n

He is said to be the founder of ABC Christian Academy, the ABC Clinic, and the African Business Institute. Chinchen had been a missionary with African Bible Colleges for almost 30 years serving with the mission in Malawi, Uganda and Liberia. He had been head of the mission since 2008.<\/p>\n

During his tenure as Chancellor, Chinchen had overseen the re-opening of ABC\u2019s Liberia campus after 17-years of civil war, an increase in the three colleges\u2019 enrollment from 300 to 650,expansion of degree programs from 1 to 7, the opening of ABC\u2019s first television station, and the establishment of the first Hearing Clinic and Audiology degree program in the county ABC\u2019s campus in Malawi.<\/p>\n

He has left behind his wife Laura, and six children children Ashley, Cozz, Annabelle, Levi, Bess and Vanndel, and granddaughter Verona. His memorial service arrangements will be announced.<\/p>\n
