Bible School Functioning (West Africa)

Grant Year: 2019


Grant Description


  • In addition to enhanced infrastructure to support the long-term functioning of a least-reached people group Bible School, this grant funds the purchase of equipment and materials as well as year of instruction in vocational training for students. This school facilitates the theological training of these people to reach their own people with the Gospel. It is essential that graduates possess these agriculture and tailoring skills in order to be economically self-sufficient in a church planting context.


    Pictured here: Students learn conservation agriculture skills in the new demonstration garden on the school campus. Children of the students are also encouraged to participate and learn.


  • This new equipment, training materials and vocational skills development will support the continued witness of Christ’s love among these people. With income generating skills that provide increased economic security, disciples of Jesus will continue to express God’s love in their own communities and build Christ-centred churches among all peoples.


    Pictured here: A student learns tailoring skills on one of the newly purchased sewing machines. She says, "I learned a lot in learning to sew. I dreamed of doing it for a long time for my family and the church. I never had the opportunity. But thank God here at the Bible School we have the opportunity to learn. Sewing will help me support my husband in his ministry, and I will also use this to be in contact with other women. I started to understand that I can manage to create something to help my husband in the support of the family and the ministry of the gospel. I have started to make some clothes to sell to help my husband."
