Prayer

There are number of on-going prayer requests for the work of the Seminary:

Pray for effective communication in the classrooms
Pray for the spiritual growth of the students and faculty members
Pray for the continuing development of the Seminary
Pray for wisdom for the provost and management of the institution
Pray for a lecturer with a Ph.D. in New Testament will be called to work at the Seminary
Pray for the financial provision of students' fees and other needs at the Seminary
Pray for the completion of the new married students' dorm at the seminary

The following are praise and prayer items for January to March 2012

Thank the Lord for the nine years Rev. Prof. Zamani Kafang was the provost at the Seminary. He is still lecturing at the Seminary.
Pray for Rev. Dr. Sunday Agang who is the new provost of the seminary.
A donor has started building a conference hall at the Seminary. The foundation has been laid and blocks moulded for the walls. It is hoped this building will be complete by the time of the graduation in late 2012. Pray this goal will be reached.
Continue to pray for the teachers who are taking further study at present. Both pastor Momolu and Mr Gambo are working on Ph.D.s in New Testament at the Baptist Seminary at Ogbomosho and at the University of Jos respectively. Also, Mr Reuben Turbi has started Ph.D. studies at the ECWA Theological Seminary at Jos.
Praise the Lord Rev. Dr. Gabriel Olaniyan has joined the seminary faculty. He has a Ph.D. in Christian Education and will especially strengthen the education department. This is an answer to prayer.
Remember the students who returned for study in January. Pray that they will be able to pay their fees.
Pray for David and Debbie Colvin who are back in the UK on home assignment with SIM until August 2012.
Pray for a good semester. Classes started on 16th January.
