ONE WAY ONE JOB BIBLE COLLEGE GRADUATES MORE CHURCH LEADERS

Story by Jasmine Omang (BLG NEWS REPORTER)

The Shepherd Light Bible College in collaboration with the Good Shepherd Bible Institute International, held its first graduation ceremony for the year 2016 in the month of June, 2016 at Ajdei-Kojo, a suburb of Ashaiman in the auditorium of the Emmanuel Christian Outreach Ministries International, Victory Temple.

The Bible College presented sixteen "16" graduands who already happened to be ministers from various churches and ministries, out of which 3 were women and the remaining 13 were men.

The Bible institute was established to train not just ministers, but anybody ready and willing to know more about ministry work and God. The Good Shepherd Bible Institute International is headed by Arch-Bishop Dr. Goodman Anim (CEO and Rector) and is assisted by his current deputy Bishop Christian.  The Bible Institute was founded about 17years ago by Arch-bishop Dr. Goodman Anim in his quest to raise young leaders with the in-depth knowledge of Christ, standards and values and to equip them with the selfless and hardworking personalities. Arch-bishop Anim is a loving husband and a father of seven "7" wonderful children.

The ceremony began with an opening prayer lead by Prophet Prosper Asomani, and was followed by worship session which was also lead by Apostle Frank Kusi-Poku, who happened to be one of the graduands and later a praises session lead by his wife, Mrs. Cynthia Kusi-Poku with Madam Victoria Ametor backing her. The hymnal titled "STAND UP FOR JESUS" was sung as the "Good Shepherd" anthem after procession of the graduands. There were song ministrations by sister Irene, sister Selina, Sister Mary Awatey and Minister Nhyira. The 16 graduands were neatly dressed as they were seated, patiently waiting for the moment that their certificates would be presented to them.

In an interview with Arch-bishop Goodman Anim, he said the school started about 17 years ago but the Ashaiman chapter only started 4 months ago. “The training is a Christian education, not a secular one so we expect that they (the graduands) will live by the tenets of what they have studied, that is, "integrity is the word; and I pray that the spirit of God will quicken them so that what they have studied will be put into practice especially concerning the fact that we as believers and ministers, lack so many things in Christendom”. Therefore we need people who are knowledgeable to impact this unto many.  He urge anyone who wants to pursue a degree or masters in ministry to join the training as they are very much welcome if they choose to train here. The next session begins in August this year."

A report about the institute was given by the prefect of this year's graduating class, brother Henry Mireku. The ceremony was a success as it ended with the presentation of the certificates, vote of thanks and a closing prayer and benediction by Arch-bishop Goodman Anim. Congratulations Ministers!
