ACADEMIC REPORT FOR THE YEAR 2020-2021 We give thanks to God always for you, constantly mentioning you in our prayers, remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of Love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ(1 Thes 1:2-3).
The Nairobi school of preaching wishes to give thanks to all who are making things possible here. It has been a tough year for everyone but we thank God too for His faithfulness towards all. Despite all the challenges, the students have been so progressive in their class work and they are really doing well. Their performance is very good and a lot of changes have been observed. Covid really destabilized everything and many church families have been left unstable and some displaced back to the villages.
Evangelism plans: The students and instructors come from a total of four congregations and since the school began, we have been doing rotational evangelism work in these congregations and some of the students began doing evangelism on their own time just after their first evangelism class. As a result, many baptisms have been made and follow-up classes are taking place as we hope for the Lord to make a way. Through the efforts of co-directors, we have tried to expose the students to those congregations in the villages where they help teach in seminars and evangelism works. That has proved some immense growth from the students and how they are putting into practice what they get in class. God willing, in the near future we are hoping to open more congregations in Nairobi town and village areas to make sure that the word gets to many. God willing, next year we will have a good evangelism calendar and students are very ready and willing to get into the fields.
Library: We are so thankful for the library idea and the books provided by brethren from there. The books have added value in our teaching and learning of the students. We have a problem with an office where we can keep our books and other stationaries. Currently, they are being stored in a preacher's house. The books are still kept in the bags so whenever one wants to access them, it’s a challeng. We are hoping to find a room that is big enough for an office and shelves to keep books. The hard disks sent from WVBS have been a great source of learning information as well.
In conclusion, the entire Nairobi school of preaching wishes to thank you again and request for your prayers and financial support in enabling us to get the word of God reaches the entire world. The school is closed for December holidays and we will resume on 8th January 2022.
Thanks. On behalf of Kenya school of preaching: Co - Director Samson Omutele Kennedy Musembe
