After teaching the elderly for a number of years, I began to realize that some of them knew more of the Word than their pastors did. God asked what we were going to do about it. The result – a Bible School. We have instituted a two year program, one week out of every six weeks and have been teaching the basic foundations.
One of the biggest failures of the rural church in Africa is that they do not have Children’s Church and therefore the next generation are not being taught the things of God from an early age. Every pastor attending the school was encouraged to bring someone who had a vision for children, either his wife or one of the young men and we have been training them to cater for children. We now have 19 Children’s Churches out of the 22 churches represented at the Bible School.
Our first graduation class of February 2019

There is always plenty of interaction with the students. We have five sessions a day with the evening sessions focusing on praise and worship and intercession. We then have the various students stand up and preach and it is amazing how they have progressed. Some of these men and women come from 20 miles away to attend the school. We have to house them and feed them three meals a day while they are there. At present they stay in the church.

When our first class arrives we hold a foot-washing ceremony. When they graduated we repeat it, praying over each, ordaining them and sending them forth.
