Staff Tarining Needs

One of the desires that the Bible School has had as it refines its programme is the potential for further staff training. Over this last year we have seen Peter Chomba do two one week training weeks in Pretoria in Expository Preaching, and he has also completed four one week training modules in the last year in Biblical Counselling and he has another four to go over the next year. Peter is already passing on to the students much of what he has learned and it has sharpened the training that is happening here at Samfya.

There is now the potential to see one of the current teachers, Francis Chola, begin training for a four year degree at Christ Seminary in Polokwane, South Africa. This training school is associated with The Master’s Academy International (TMAI is who Riverbend Bible Church partners with in our own training programme The Shepherd’s Bible College)and is doing an excellent work in equipping men for leadership in local churches. For Francis to do this training and then build back into the work of Samfya would be a huge blessing. Our need would be to find funding to employ a replacement teacher. Would you pray that another church or individual might take up the challenge to help in this need that will enhance the training here.
