The Vision of Zion Apostolic International Bible College, Inc.Apostle Dr. Natalie Vassell firmly believes that God’s people must be trained, equipped, and empowered to serve effectively in ministry. The vision of Zion Apostolic International Bible College, Inc. is to edify, uplift, and prepare believers to walk boldly in their divine assignments.
Too often, individuals are called to serve in ministry but lack training and guidance to operate effectively. For example, a missionary may be called upon to pray but end up preaching, highlighting the need for structured ministerial training. This Bible college ensures that students receive proper biblical knowledge, doctrinal understanding, and practical training, aligning them with their true calling.
This vision is biblically rooted, as Jesus Himself was a teacher and mentor, preparing His disciples before releasing them into ministry. Throughout the New Testament, Jesus consistently imparted wisdom, knowledge, and instruction to ensure that His followers were fully equipped:📖 Luke 6:12-13 – Jesus prayed all night before selecting His twelve disciples.📖 Matthew 5:1-2 – Jesus taught His disciples on the mountain (Sermon on the Mount).📖 Mark 4:34 – He explained parables privately to His disciples for deeper understanding.📖 Acts 1:3 – After His resurrection, He continued teaching them about the Kingdom of God.
Through Zion Apostolic International Bible College, Inc., Apostle Dr. Natalie Vassell fulfills this same mission—training, developing, and releasing believers into effective kingdom service.
