THREE PHASES IN THE LIFE OF
JACK CHINCHEN

By Dr. O. Palmer Robertson

"The 3 Phases in the Life of Dr. Jack Chinchen"




Phase 1: Prosperity According to this world
In this first phase of his life, Jack Chinchen had it made.  He was prosperous in every way. He had a very beautiful wife, a wonderful family, a brand new beautiful house and a profitable business. He was a Millionaire while still a young man of around 30 years of age. The prosperity that preachers usually promise and that parents wish for their children: Jack had it all!

Phase 2: Enslavement to Jesus Christ
God opened his eyes to see that all his prosperity was empty and had enslaved him to the world. He, therefore, turned from it all to follow Jesus and became Christ's blood-bought slave. Jack Chinchen was redeemed and called sovereignly by the Holy Spirit to go into the gospel ministry and he left the affluence of America and came to live as a stranger in the jungles of Liberia on a mission of training pastors. As a bondslave of Jesus Christ, Jack experienced the joy of the Lord and felt happy, blessed and fulfilled than ever before.

Do you see how they turned the gospel of prosperity upside down on its head?

Instead of being in poverty looking for prosperity, they are in prosperity and they go to poverty for the sake of Jesus Christ. And they were free.

Where are you in your phase of life? In phase one, still having that desire for prosperity for yourself? Or are you in phase two: the phase of enslavement to Jesus Christ?

Phase 3: Glorification with Jesus in the Presence of God Forever
On 27th February 2019, Jack died and went to be with the Savior to receive his crown of glory. In John 17, Jesus prayed saying that he wants us to be with him in Glory. 

So what are you doing with your eyes down here, looking at this world and the prosperity therein, when your eyes should be focused on heaven?

My prayer today is that God will put it in your heart to say, "Yes, Lord, I am your slave. I will go wherever you want me to go. I will do whatever you want me to do. My life is not my own. I have been bought with a price. If you want me to go into the bush of South Sudan, or in Rwanda, or in Congo, I'm ready. I'm ready to be lost from all human greatness because I'm a slave to Jesus Christ. "

May God work in our hearts today, as we contemplate the life pattern of one of his servants, from prosperity to enslavement to glory.

Christ shall have Dominion over Land and Sea!

This hymn paraphrases Psalm 72. It is a hymn of triumph and missions and the theme song of African Bible University.

Your heart will be filled with joy as you read Rev. Jack Chinchen's description of the blossoming fruit resulting from fifty years of labor in Africa — a continent he loved so much and claimed for God's purpose.

PICTORIAL

In Memory of Rev. Jack Chinchen

"Faith in Action, God in Motion"

This was one of the beloved mottos of Jack and Nell Chinchen - The founders of the three African Bible Colleges in Liberia, Malawi and Uganda.

Raising Servant Leaders for Christ in Africa

Jack had a great passion for helping others discover the promises, hope and salvation through Christ. 

Isiah 18 gave Jack the firm belief that Africa had a great destiny. He looked forward to the Lord’s coming again and believed Africa would be God’s final stronghold for Christ upon His return.

Teaching the Treasures of God's Truth

Jack has always loved teaching and preaching God’s Word.  He taught many Bible and Theology courses at African Bible College over the years, but his great love was teaching through the Book of Joshua and teaching his students how to preach.
