2 New Bible Training Centers on Mt. Elgon

    What a tremendous response we have had on Mt. Elgon this past month, with over 70 new students. Pastors and church leaders representing over 20 churches registered for Bible Training in the towns of Kaptama and in Kapsokwony. The classes are fairly divided between English and Swahili speakers and about a third of the students are women. Already the Bible School in Kaptama is in their 5th week of classes and the students have been faithfully paying for their first 2 course books. Financial help from the listeners of Faith Radio has made it much easier for the Mt. Elgon students to pay for their books and Study Bibles with chickens, eggs, beans, maize, cabbages, bananas or even a goat or a lamb!
     We now have 5 qualified Bible teachers on Mt. Elgon who are fully trained in the B.T.C.P. curriculum and are doing the teaching in the 2 new schools. This has freed us up to concentrate our efforts on training teachers, school principals and directors, and to help develop a national program that will facilitate the opening of Bible Training Centers throughout Kenya for the future.
