From
the IFES movements in Africa
"In
Gabon, Evangelical Christians talk like they love God's Word,
but intelligent, responsible study of the Bible is relatively
unattractive to them. Legalism and scolding the congregation
often predominate over preaching. I want to encourage you
regarding the value of your project and to encourage you to
train people avoid such errors." Gabon Student
movement
"It
is true that African churches are growing faster in size and
they face the lack of good quality Bible teachers. Every initiative
to help train future teachers will be highly appreciated."
Franco Africa IFES regional office.
"The
idea is long overdue." Charles Kasumba. Namibia
student movement.
"I
appreciate the project very much and agree with it absolutely.
I am very strongly for it." Assefa Gugsa Gen
Sec. - Ethiopian Student movement.
"As
I look at the Kenyan Christian landscape, I am always saddened
by the scarcity of teachers of the Word of God. I am therefore
always excited to see one committed to causing a difference
in this area. I will do my best to support this venture."
Muthui Wachira - Gen Sec. FOCUS Kenya.
"At
least three of our staff have benefitted from Cornhill Training
Course in the recent years. Therefore we believe in what the
Lord is leading you to do.’ C. Egbo Admin Sec.
NIFES ( Nigerian student movement.)
"I
encourage you to move forward with the project and promise
to support you with our faithful prayer." Lalah
Gustave - Gen Sec Madagascar student movement.
Comments on LET ( see second last paragraph
in section above headed 'Who I am' )
"The
LET course provided a unique opportunity for Christian students
with leadership potential to think through key areas such
as evangelism, discipleship, Bible study and teaching with
leading Christian teachers in their areas and provided a biblical
theology to tie all these areas into God's eternal plan"
Colin Jacques (Ex-Imperial College CU committee member.)
"I
found the Bible overviews by Michael You excellent. It put
many familiar parts of the Bible in perspective and gave me
a good grasp of scripture from the beginning to the end."

CU.) |
