Growth is the key word for the week. Students are returning to classes this week in Denver. For some, it will be the last quarter of studies before they graduate and enter the work. For others, it will be their second quarter and the challenge of beginning their studies in the Greek language. We are sure they would appreciate your prayers as they begin the first of three quarters of intense study in another language, while keeping up with their additional classes.
We see growth in the program this week as the Kenya School of Preaching began their second class of students. KSOP’s recent graduation in August was an exciting achievement. Now, recognizing their selection of 20 students out of 47 for the second class is amazing. We look forward to learning more about the growth of these men in preparing themselves to preach the gospel in their country.
Further growth unfolds over the next month as two locations (Chimala and Takoradi) will host their graduation ceremonies for the men who are prepared to finish their studies and enter the work. The accomplishments of these men will not go unnoticed or be in vain as they reach out with the gospel of Christ to the lost of their countries.
Growth also came this week in the form of God’s increase to the kingdom. Souls in several locations were added to the church as the gospel was proclaimed and people responded by being baptized into Christ. The joy of reading about these individuals, their love for learning the truth, and their obedience to it, cannot be overstated.
Reading about the growth of the program in Denver and around the world is rewarding in many ways. The fact that God has given us an opportunity to share in the training of preachers on a global scale is beyond words. Our God is great and the development of this work is exciting!!
