JULY 2026

INTRODUCTION

The month of July has passed. We are grateful to God for keeping us well and strong. We are also grateful to all those who help the cause of Christ. The school has been on break since May. The students who went on internships in Lagos and Warri, Delta State, are back home safely. We are grateful for their experience out in the field.

The school resumes on the 8th of August 2026. We are anticipating the return of the old students as well as freshmen. We solicit your prayers for a new academic session. We trust God for a successful semester ahead.

Moreover, on the 15th of August, the NIATS family will welcome participants from various congregations for a lectureship. The theme, “Theme Work Approach,” shall be discussed under various topics by seasoned preachers and teachers of the Word. May you keep us in your prayers as we expect a good turnout and also to navigate through the programme successfully.

Furthermore, we are about to start the fencing work. There’s a great need to fence off the school. The school hopes to start the work this August as the rains abate. During the last graduation in May, some brethren saw the need for fencing work. As at today, the school has received a donation of eighty (80) bags of Dangote cement and 6 trips of sand gravel. This is a good endeavour. We therefore solicit your prayers for brethren to make an impact in the work.

Thank you and stay blessed

Solomon Usim

Director, NIATS
