Please pray for us, on June 18th we will be hosting a conference that will be a conglomerate of eight plus villages, three of them have no Gospel preaching church in our near their area for hours. We are hosting four villages altogether, the other four villages are those who we are team-teaching with to work through the Foundational Bible Teaching; Creation to Christ. We will be teaching seven lessons a day, four lessons will be taken by four of the pastors in training, two by two local pastors who Seth is also training, along with Seth who will be taking one lesson a day.
The course will run Monday through Friday; at least ten of the individuals who are expected to come have never heard the full story of their Creator Who loves them and died for their sins. We have several dorms, buildings, and guest housing so we will be jam-packed with over 30 people on this property.
Coffee Break
Seth has taken the past 6-7 weeks to train these young pastors how to not only articulate themselves as they preach; but to also have the character and heart of a pastor, along with a working knowledge of the teaching and helping them apply the messages to their audience. (Pictures from the past few weeks during class).This is a really exciting time for us, one of the boys has only preached in public less than 6 times ever in his life!
Kevin Teaching
Isaiah Teaching
As you can imagine, planning any event is difficult, let alone trying to connect 8 villages, get verification on those coming, along with getting all the supplies for the conference such as; benches (special thanks to Frazer Graham and RV), sleeping arrangements, this Friday is “clean up day” for the Bible School property, water, and of course about $1,000 worth of food. All of which we had to spear-head and supply, but we are confident God will bless this conference.
Pattison Teaching
Francky Teaching
Please pray for us: as Nicole gets all the logistical things ready such as food, etc., and Seth as he continues training the men, and not making this a perfunctory act, but something that is done out of worship to our Lord. Our goal is to model a love for Christ and God’s Word in all we do, please pray for the multiple villages (1-5 people per village) coming, along with the young men as they grow in their walk with the Lord (Kevin, Frankie, Isaiah and Patterson).
May His name be made Great among us, your feet to the unreached, Seth and Nicole Stokes
