Our school year came to an end with the graduation of 25 students from our Biblical Studies course, 17 students from our Cross Cultural Communication Course and 3 students from our Applied Linguistics Course. Of the 25 Biblical Studies students who graduated, 15 will be going on to further training with NTM, 13 here in the UK and 2 in the USA. Pray for those who have graduated from the CCC and AL courses as they enter a year of partnership development before heading to their fields of service.
We look ahead to the new year starting in September and are anticipating 30 students for the Biblical Studies course. This is the case even though the school accreditation process wasn’t able to be completed in time to allow non-EU students to attend. The last step is to have our courses accredited and this we trust will be done for the next school year starting in September 2011.
We are currently taking part in our mission’s refresher course, a time to get together with NTM missionaries from Europe at home on furlough or on home staff. There are eight nationalities represented who work in four continents. Pray that we will know times of refreshing that come from the presence of the Lord.
