May update

Dear friends,

We send you greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus.

Thank you for your prayers for us over these past months. We are so thankful that the rains have started. It's great to have relief from the intense heat.

David has been busy attending several board meetings during these past few weeks. Apart from teaching, he has also has been busy processing the data from the questionnaires he sent out as part of his dissertation research. Praise the Lord for the overwhelming response as over one thousand questionnaires were returned. The questions were asking about views of Christ. Please pray for David as he incorporates the findings of his research into the dissertation and gets it ready for submission in June.

We have one more week of teaching before the week of final exams at the end of the semester. We would value prayer for the Lord's help for the students and ourselves that we would finish well. Once the semester ends we have to concentrate on our marking which will keep us busy for a few weeks.

Thank you for praying about Internet access at the Seminary. We now have a faster connection which makes it easier to receive our emails and for students and staff to do research on line.

Praise the Lord for the large number of new books that have been added to the library and for the shelving bought to store them.

On Friday, 8th May, the seminary will host a seminar on Theological Education for our faculty and our sister institution in Jos (JETS). Our faculty travelled to Jos in March for the first part of the seminar. Pray that this would be a helpful time for all involved and strengthen links between these two seminaries.

Many thanks again for your prayers. Colossians 1:28.

God Bless,

Debbie and David
