God has blessed the initiative by pulling together the often fractious churches in the valley to form a joint committee to oversee the school, and provide experienced staff to facilitate the training। Recently, a Pune University theology graduate James Tamang, whose wife is from Surkhet, was commissioned as Principal of the new institute। Batches of 15-20 leaders are given an intensive 5 month training in theology and practical ministry। The first batch graduated in July in a joyous ceremony, and the second intake is well through their studies.
Give thanks for:
q God’s giving this vision to Nepalis for this Nepali institution
q Encouragement for the local churches who have all participated in this initiative
q James Chinnery and other INF members who have offered their input
Pray on for:
q Attracting the right calibre of trainee to the programme (both intakes already include women and members of different church groups)
q James the new principal and his team to settle and work well together
q More financial support to make the college self sufficient (more information from rod@macrorie.plus.com)
