Training for Life

One of the programmes that are keeping us busy these days at BBC is the Training for Life course. 24 students are enrolled in this course which Allan has been more involved in recently. He has not been teaching his usual Bible subjects all the same but has turned his hand to being an art teacher! Yes, he was asked to take a class entitled 'Learn how to draw'. The lessons covered about 12 hours of class work so there was a limit to what could be done, that is over and above the limitations immediately imposed by the teacher who was appointed to teach!

The students thoroughly enjoyed the course all the same and as well as learning the basic techniques of contouring, sketching, shading and observation they even managed to learn to draw a horse, a frog, a lion, a landscape, and a portrait.

The highlights of the course for us at BBC have been that Navigators were well received in their Bible overview course and that while Allan was preaching in Pasua church a couple of Sundays past, one of the students called Daniel made a commitment of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ! We praise God that the time invested in the lives of the TFL students is bearing fruit. Allan was asked this weekend if he could teach them some more of the Bible in the evenings! Pray for God to do greater things in the lives of the students.
