INTRODUCTION

The month of December is a reminder that everything that has a beginning has an end. The staff and students of NIATS are grateful to God Almighty for a successful year. To all those keeping the dream of NIATS alive by supporting the institution, we are grateful. It’s been an eventful year, and God has been gracious to us all.

ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES

The academic activities came to a halt on the 5th of December 2025. The school vacated for her first semester 2025/2026 academic session. The students proceeded for the holidays. The school environment remained quiet for the most part of the holiday. The school is scheduled to resume on the 5th of January 2025. It is our prayer that they will all return to school safely and in peace.

SEMINAR/LECTURESHIP

It is that time of the year when the generality of the brethren in southeast Nigeria gathers at NIATS for a Bible lectureship. In preparation for this annual programme, the school will be putting a lot of things in place. In the preceding year, over a thousand persons were in attendance. The school solicits your prayers to enable the programme to go well.

EVANGELISM

The new congregation started in Amaeke Abam is gathering momentum. The preacher has moved into the apartment rented for him. He is to begin active evangelism and hopes to grow the church. We need the church be in your prayers, too.

CONCLUSION

To God be the glory for another year that has come to an end. We are thankful to God Almighty for His immeasurable blessings in sustaining us and the universe. We are also grateful to our sponsors who constantly fulfill their part of the ministerial work. May the good Lord keep everyone blessed as we navigate into the new year. Happy new year, brethren!
