About Jay, Laura, Clara and Katherine Stoms

In January 2002, I went to Malawi to teach Theology and Bible at the African Bible College (ABC). I opened up to this opportunity in 2001, when I heard Dr. Richard Pratt of Reformed Seminary, talk about the shortage of qualified Bible teachers in developing nations and the incredible spiritual hunger, especially in Africa. Afterwards I told him that I had been to seminary and enjoyed teaching, but that I didn't speak any foreign languages. His response was 'if I were you, I'd go to English-speaking Africa'. 

I contacted my Professor from Knox Seminary, O. Palmer Robertson, who had taught in Africa for several years. He invited me to come to Malawi and I've been teaching there ever since. Now I teach Systematic Theology, Old Testament Biblical Theology and Sermon Prepartion to hundreds of students. In August 2004, Green Lake Presbyterian Church in Seattle, WA ordained me as a minister in the Presbyterian Church (PCA). Since coming to Africa, God has blessed me with a lovely wife, Laura, and two beautiful little girls, Clara and Katherine. 

We invite you to join our support team by praying for us. In addition we ask that you would prayerfully consider giving monthly to this ministry according to your interest and ability. Please send your donations on behalf of Jay and Laura Stoms to the African Bible College office.
