Continue to pray for the Sister Buckland's father. He suffered a slight heart attack, his heart is extremely weak, and he has cancer.
Quoting Jesus, Brother Buckland writes: "...that your fruit may remain..." indicates how important training and mentoring were to our Lord. Bible School endeavors are one of the principle means in which we invest in the harvest. A worthy goal is to provide Bible School education opportunities in each nation of our region. The EME Christian Board of Education is pledging itself to assist you in this invaluable ministry.
They have recently established scholarship funds for EME Bible School students.
Brother and Sister R. Kelley and Harvest Bible College report: We have just received some excellent news! We have passed the first stage of the accreditation process! We are both shocked and excited. It is just hard to believe we have actually made it thus far. Now we will be subjected to on sight inspections.
Following are recent regional stats provided by Brother Buckland:
- This school year, there is an average of fifteen students per school.
- Nearly 400 students have graduated from these schools within the past 12 years.
- One hundred and eight former graduates and students are presently in the ministry (25%), resulting in one of every four entering the ministry.
- Two hundred and ninety are now working in a local church ministry resulting in more than half of those who graduate actively involved in the local church.
- To date, eleven national district officials and three regional missionaries have been trained in our Bible
- Schools. Two more applications have been received for Regional Missionary Status from former EME Bible School students.
