IN THEIR OWN WORDS

It is my joy to be able to share with you, my friends, "some" of the words we hear on a regular basis from those with whom we have relationships. Now you know when I say "those with whom we have relationships" that this statement is in the context of this blog those are people we relate with from Africa, whether they are new students, church leaders or sometimes even those who train them.


FIRST let me tell you about THREE NEW STUDENTS we call PROVISIONALLY ACCEPTED.  Once we get acceptance agreements from their church restating our agreement, they will become CURRENT STUDENTS.
In their PASTOR"S OWN WORDS,  "WE have 1. Royd Nonde  2. Alfred Sakwiya  3. Lewis Mumba.   We interviewed many more and then sat down to consider the strengths and weaknesses of each case.......
Royd is by far the most proven of these young men.  His leadership qualities continue to be witnessed right across our country wherever he has gone.  Even as he is presently studying medicine, he has been chosen as the leader of the evangelical Christians on his university campus..... He has already gone into the most rural of areas to provide medical therapy to the poorer of the poor.
Both Alfred and Lewis are very involved in the church's life..... They are both playing some leadership role among the youths of the church and also in the electronic media ministry


Now, let me jump across the continent by sharing a big THANK YOU from one of our church partners.
Christian Zarweah from Liberia writes, " I am thrilled with joy as I composed these words to you in the blessed Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ..... I write on behalf of the ULIC-Ganta Congregations to convey our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to you for serving as the bridge of hope to equip these young men and a woman for the ministry of the Lord here in Liberia.  Some of the recipients would not have ever entered higher education had you not intervened.  Some are from very poor backgrounds and some are the first from their community to enter college.  Your intervention continues to serve as great motivation to us here in Nimba County, Liberia....... I can sense the Lord's special anointing on these young men and a woman as some have greatly demonstrated in leadership skills at their various institutions and congregations........It is only Eternity that will reward you."
