This past week, an exciting thing happened just across the Owen Stanley mountain range that separates Lae from Port Moresby. Another academic year began at the Reformed Churches Bible College!
God made it possible for us to send two new students from Lae--Keith and Adam. Here they are on the morning of their departure, nervous and excited about leaving Lae to begin their studies at the RCBC!

This is Annie and Jerry, with their daughters, Christina and baby Agnes. (Some of you may remember that baby Agnes had a rough start to life when she had a bad fall at birth, but thankfully she seems to be ok. ) This will be their fourth year at the college as Jerry continues his studies in the Pastoral Program.

This is another family that also lives at the RCBC---Nawae and Daiva, Ralema and Andrias. Nawae and Daiva have been at the College since it opened its doors in 2007! As part of Nawae's Pastoral Program, they came to Lae for a 4-week internship. They were a blessing to our church community as he preached, and together they lead a Marriage Course, Youth Bible Studies, and supported the church members. I think many hope that they will be back one day on a more permanent basis... but we will have to wait and see what the Lord has planned!

Your prayers for all the students and staff at the Bible College are always needed!
