The students have officially finished their 3 year program at the Bible school! They worked hard and persevered to the end. It wasn’t without challenges or struggles but they made it. Now these students will go back to their villages (4 different villages,3 language groups, 2 separate islands) and use what they learned to encourage the believers and evangelize the unsaved. Three of these men are on the pastoral track and will return for further teachings next year in pursuit of becoming pastors. The teachers did an awesome job learning alongside the students and growing in their knowledge to be able to teach the students. The ceremony was very special and included speeches from students and teachers followed by a big feast! People from several villages came out to the event. It was truly a monumental and memorable day!
