Theology of Work

I’ve written quite a bit about our pending seminary class that begins on Monday; a walk of faith to be sure with our non-existent funding for such an endeavor. But we are so thankful to God for bringing the program thus far, for providing for every need, and why would we think He would bring it to this point to not complete the work?

It will be a grand day because it represents the culmination of a lot of work from a lot of different people. We have everything in place to start and are excited to see what God will do in the lives of the staff, students, and missionaries alike. Thirty new students wanting to impact their community and
country for Christ…Thank you Lord!

In the midst of all this, one of our Mozambican teaching staff is working on his doctorate and as a part of that endeavor, received a grant to do a special class on the Theology of Work. The class began on Saturday and was attended by 30 people from over 10 denominations and is the first of 12 classes he is having in the next three months on this appropriate topic. We rejoice with our dear friend and his desire to address this topic in a society where it is very important to receive a salary but not necessarily to have to do anything for it! We thank God for this

new avenue to teach Biblical truths; changing lives in the process. He had students from 10 denominations, including pastors, Bible School graduates, and Professional personnel. He is a gifted teacher and well recognized as such; we are thankful to have him working with us.

He has asked that we remember him in prayer as prepares for and gives the classes.

We are always thrilled when our seminary building is being used to further Gods word to a lost and dying world!

Blessings!
