Beginning The New Year By Looking At The Past...

Students return to Denver this week to prepare for the beginning of a new quarter scheduled to kick off Monday, January 11th. This date also marks the start of a new class of students who begin their journey in preacher training. We continue to ask for your prayers on behalf of the new and returning class of students who begin their studies in a week.

Every week we highlight a number of great reports that share information about the progress of each school as they grow week to week and month to month. Next week’s report will provide information about the results for 2015 compiled by Keith Kasarjian regarding the work of students in each location of the extension training program. A couple of the reports below share some of the initial results, but reflecting on the whole is exciting. We look forward to sharing the incredible news.

After enjoying a little time off from the classroom, returning to a routine for the students helps keep everything focused on the purpose. Preparing for the work of sharing the gospel makes a difference in how they approach the future of their ministry in the kingdom. Their preparation enables them to go forth into the world proclaiming the greatest message ever entrusted to an individual. Reading about their progress makes the report worth sharing.

Now on to this week’s incredible reports...
