Bible School started back up this week!
Hear part of the testimony from one of the local Tiale pastors, who was the first student to graduate from the program.
“Before the Bible school did not look like this… it had no curriculum… but now, it’s a place you do not want to leave… and you grow like you are in a nursery (garden)”.
“The Bible school is like a resort, it blesses me, my family, and all the surrounding villages… it impacts all those nearby”.
There are countless stories like this, that shows how the Bible school is impacting others… individuals… families… villages… language groups…
When it feels like there is no place to be taught… loved and encouraged… God provided a place in the deepest reaches of the jungles.
The Bible school in many ways is an oasis in the country, with many occults, syncretism, animism, and a lack of contextualizations of the Scriptures… in many ways , it might be the “only one”.
*Please pray for the teachers. This year we intentionally delayed coming back during the opening as to provide them with an opportunity to take more of an “ownership” role in the School.
*Please pray for the students. Not all returned… which is to be expected… but some are still deciding. Pray that those who are supposed to be there commit to join and finish the year strong. Pray for the teachers, that we are faithful to disciple them.
