In the summer of 2008, Africa New Life Ministries (founded by Multnomah Biblical Seminary graduate Charles Burgeya) was awarded a grant to start a Bible college in Kigali, Rwanda
In this episode, Dr. G answers an obvious but crucial question with complete honesty: will alumni support be needed to move the Multnomah library to ABC in Africa? His answer is simple and emphatic — yes, yes, and yes. A project of this scale has never been attempted before in this context, and it can only happen through the shared commitment of people who love Multnomah and believe in the future of Bible training in Africa.
In this episode, Dr. G addresses a question many people have asked: is ABC in Africa taking the entire Multnomah library collection? His answer reveals both the scope of the vision and the heart behind it. ABC’s Bible teaching ministry is deeply interested in the full breadth of the collection — not only theology and Bible resources, but also the liberal arts materials that support Christian education as a whole.
How Special Is the Multnomah Library? — A Treasure Built for Generations In this episode, Dr. G reflects on why the Multnomah Library is far more than just a collection of books — it is a rare, carefully cultivated treasure that shaped his life, his work, and countless students over decades.
In this episode, Dr. G traces the remarkable and deeply personal connection between Multnomah and ABC in Africa, a story that began quietly with students and grew into an international partnership impacting an entire nation. As his time at Multnomah was coming to a close, four seminary students from Rwanda arrived with a clear vision: a growing ministry and a dream to establish a Bible college in their home country. What they lacked was one critical resource — books.
