Ambassador International University falls under the umbrella of Gospelink - a non-profit Christian mission based in Lynchburg, VA. Gospelink was founded in 1998 by Lewis and Leah Nelms for the purpose of empowering national preachers to carry the Gospel to the ends of the earth. Soon after Gospelink was launched, Lewis began casting a vision to plant a Bible College in Zambia. Beginning with a small class of twelve freshmen, the IBC, now Ambassador International University, now has over 135 staff families and students..
