A new school recently began classes in the Nsawam / Doboro area of Ghana, West Africa. These new students are studying to prepare themselves for ministry. This week’s report features several pictures from the grand opening celebration of the Southern Institute of Biblical Studies. We will continue to learn more about the development of this first class of students and share news with you about their growth.
The photos highlight the opening that took place on February 15th. These photos show the building, the new students, some of the instructors, the office, and the classroom. There are also pictures of the office furniture, classroom desks and chairs, pulpit, whiteboard, ceiling fans, and other improvements. With your help, we were able to get this new program started.
Since we are at the first of the month, there are more reports to read through, so we will keep this section brief. We encourage you to read through each report because the news is exciting. A few prayer requests are mentioned significant to the work in several places. Please pray for these areas and the challenges facing the staff and students in these locations.
Now on to the other reports...
