Dear Prayer Partner,
After this 2-week course we will have our 4th student complete the Bible College program. We plan for graduation in conjunction with the District Assembly time. We teach our courses in 4-year cycle (6 courses per year) and we allow students to enroll whenever they can and then once they complete the 24 courses they can graduate.
We teach on a diploma level but for those whose English skills are weak and have trouble with the written assignments we offer a certificate.
David has 20 students in his Doctrine of Holiness class and 20 in his Old Testament Survey. Nancy has three students in the Christian Education class.
Sovereign Grace Church:
This time Pastor Alick Hagi, who is pastor of our newest church, Sovereign Grace Church of the Nazarene, Munda, Western Province, brought four students with him to the Bible College. This church began in February this year. They were given an abandoned building, in Munda, that was built and previously used by another denomination. The timber in the church was badly damaged by termites. The church members with the assistance of some from the Honiara Zion Church, the district chain saw, and approved special money given to build new churches, were able to replace all the timber from the floor to the roof. The floor and bearers were made out of varsa (A timber that is not eaten by termites and wood rot doesn’t affect). They replaced the rest of the timber from flooring to roofing iron, which was termite infested, with the varsa timber. A special thanks to those prayer partners who gave to the approved special for new church buildings.
Our Zion church took up their alabaster offering on Sunday. For those non-Nazarene prayer partners, alabaster offering is an offering collected in February and September and it goes specifically for buildings, construction, and property improvement needs.
Osborn, our district missionary president, decorated a wheel barrow, putting into it some building materials into which people would march by and put the water bottle of money, which they have been collecting over the past 6 months. Go to my blog for photo’s. Early Wednesday morning the nephew of the Osborn passed away and I just returned from the funeral and burial. Osborn has been praying for his family, and would like to request prayer for his family that they will turn to God.
