What God Can Do Through a Few Good Bible School Students

What can God do through a few good Bible school students? The answer is simple. A lot! Here's a sampling of a few events in Ghana, during recent weeks:

  • Three preaching points have been established in collaboration with one of our local churches, the pastor, and three students. Thirty-five have recently been baptized in Jesus name. Three received the Holy Ghost.

  • In another location, during the school break, a student working with one of our Bible school instructors, and a local church baptized twenty-eight in Jesus name. A new church plant has been established.

  • Another student pastor had three receive the Holy Ghost at his church.

  • At our newest Bible school church plant average attendance has reached forty-seven including children with nine receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

  • A special children's event was held at the Bible school church plant. Over ninety kids attended and five received the Holy Ghost.

  • During break, a Bible school student and intern travelled to minister in our northern-most city. Nine were baptized in Jesus name and four received the Holy Ghost.

  • Two students were recently sent on weekend ministry to a village church. Five received the Holy Ghost and three were baptized.

  • Lashibi, one of the Bible school church plants, reported seven being baptized yesterday!

  • Earlier this year one of our Bible School students was teaching at a church that had not yet experienced full truth. Twenty-four people were baptized in Jesus name for the remission of sins. Eleven people were filled with the Holy Ghost!

Update on Associated Schools

As of today, October 1, 2008 forty-four nations and fifty-six schools have expressed intent of joining the Global Association of Theological Studies. 

Seven of the nations (or twelve of the schools) have received membership status for various programs offered.

Our goal is for fifty schools to send their letters of intent by the end of 2008, and for twenty-five to finish the appropriate application process.
