Biography
Gary Abernathy, an alumnus
of Apostolic Bible Institute and the son of veteran missionaries to
South Africa, felt the call to foreign missions while assisting Pastor
David Hudson in Syracuse, Indiana. Brother Abernathy and his wife,
Sharon, received their appointment as UPCI missionaries to South Africa
in May 1981. During their first term the Abernathys were heavily
involved in the Bible school and other aspects of the training
ministry. In 1987 the Abernathys transferred to Malawi. They have
continued to emphasize the need for ministerial training¾training
seminars, Bible school, and home outreach¾in their new field through
their second and now third terms. Brother Abernathy believes the only
way to reach Africa’s millions is through trained, national ministers.
Following their short furlough in 1998, Brother Abernathy assumed the
leadership of the church in Zambia. He works closely with the national
leadership of the mature Zambian church.
