Three years ago, Erika and I attended the New Wineskins conference as a very newlywed couple…2 months newlywed! We were challenged and encouraged, and as we walked the conference grounds, we wondered how God was going to use us as we desired so strongly to be used, and to serve His kingdom in missions. And now here we are again, with a 2 year old, launching Agape Year. Please pray for our time here as we chat with folks about Agape Year, seek new financial and prayer partners, and recruit for our pilot year.
There is an urgent need for theological training in the region of Gambella, in the west of Ethiopia. There are over 90 Anglican Churches in Gambella, which are part of the Episcopal / Anglican Diocese of Egypt with North Africa and the Horn of Africa. These churches are served by 15 clergy, none of whom has a theological degree. There are no other theological colleges in Gambella. St. Frumentius Theological College opened at the Gambella Anglican Centre in September 2015. The priority of the college will be training new and existing Anglican clergy, as well as lay-leaders, but it is also open to other denominations. We already have some of the needed facilities, but we need your prayers and support to start this college.
