There were many opportunities for team presentations as well as individual preaching; playing football one afternoon, for the guys, while the ladies played scrabble and ludo.

The students and some alumni paid a day’s visit to the hydro-electric generating plant at Akosombo and the scenic Volta Lake as part of the programme. It was a very refreshing time.

Fresh In-take

The alumni continue to share their knowledge with their peers and this has led to an increasing number of quality applications. For the 2011/12 ministry year we have admitted 45 students. There are 14 ladies and 31 young men representing 17 denominations. This means that we would have 90 students enrolled in our Bible Overview course (core students and their disciples). We are excited at the prospect of spending another year with young people who are so eager to learn with the view to ‘rightly handling the word of truth’ and to be used by the Lord in our land and beyond.

The main reason why we stopped at this number is that the LIC church hall cannot accommodate more than that. Admittedly, this will be a faith-stretching year as our budget for Training has gone up by 50% over last year’s level. But “we have a very big God who is always by our side”, ‘supplying our needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus’. Please do not stop praying with us.

We are also expecting Sammy Boateng, our first Administrator, back in Ghana in November this year when he would have completed his
