Our team's greatest desire is to effectively edify and equip the local Christians of Vanuatu so that when we the mission field, the congregations of the Lord's church will continue to thrive. We have taken a lead from the apostle Paul and other successful ministries, and established the Truth Bible School in the capital city of Port Vila. Term 1 began in February 2008, and saw 15 students complete the 6-week courses. We meet on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6-8:30, with one instructor teaching from 6-7 and the other from 7:30-8:30. The students seem to be grasping the concepts very well, and show great excitement regarding their spiritual growth. The mission team provides transportation for all full-time students, which costs approximately $85 per week. This arrangement insures that all students are able to come, and will show up for class on time. We currently have students attending from Port Vila, Etas Village and Epau Village. Other class-related materials cost about $15 per term. We also provide handouts for each class period, and a folder for each course. We have planned a two-year curriculum, with 4 Terms per year (2 classes per Term), for a total of 16 courses. |
