A brief background of the Church of Christ in Zambia:

It is believed that a brother called Peter Masiya by name brought the Church of Christ doctrine
in Zambia which was then Northern Rhodesia around the year of 1907. He is believed to have
come from Malawi or Mozambique. It’s not clear exactly where he came from.

He came to Livingstone and arrived at the Village of Chief Mukuni near the Victoria Falls.
At that time there were no schools in that area, but this brother started preaching the word of
God as well as teaching those who believed in Christ how to read and write. Since they were
already old, they were learning together with their children.

However, around the year 1912, another man came with the Church of Christ Mission School.
He was a teacher who brought the School first at Chief Mukuni’s area. His name was Mr.
Bulawayo Kukana. Thereafter he got married to one of his pupils. This teacher came from
Zimbabwe, the then Southern Rhodesia. From there he became old and moved to Ngweze area,
with his family and eventually he died there.
His grandchildren are still with us to date
