Dear Friends of Samfya Bible School,

Graduation has happened and while this year had a smaller intake of students, they all leave well prepared for ministry in their local churches.

Please notice that the graduation ceremony occurred in the new Multi Purpose Hall, which is still under construction, but is a very usable and functional building. Principal Levy Kasoma reports about the training of the students:

Ø  The students were equipped with both theory and practical courses such as Bible Interpretation and preaching.

Ø  They were given a solid foundation in both New and Old Testament survey.

Ø  They also went through systematic teachings on basic Bible doctrines such as the doctrine of God.

Praise God for this good work and pray that these graduates will be effective in their local church ministries. Next year sees the potential of a much larger student group, possibly up to 30 students, as well as the introduction of a second year course. Please pray for these plans and that the many potential students for 2013 would get their applications in soon.

We are in the final stage of raising funds to complete the Multi Purpose Hall, with around $3,500 needed to complete the construction. Please pray for this last stage that it would be able to be completed before the end of this year. Your support is valued and much appreciated by the Bible School staff.
Prayer Items:
·         For Graduates to settle into effective church ministry
·         For Student intake for 2013
·         For development of the second year programme for 2013
·         For the remaining $3,500 to complete the Multi Purpose Hall
