Discipling New Believers

For the last several weeks I have had the opportunity to visit and teach nearly twenty young adults at the School of Champions Bible and Leadership Institute (SCBLI) in Monrovia, Liberia.  SCBLI is a ministry developed and introduced by Velma, a Cameroonian missionary who has a heart for the young adults of Liberia.  SCBLI incorporates a discipleship model similar to that of Discipling the Nations Ministries which has over 70 Bible training centers in five countries throughout Central and West Africa.  The mission of SCBLI is 1) to educate young adults with sound Biblical training and Leadership development through a two year certificate program; 2) to empower young adults to use their newfound Biblical knowledge and practical life skills to better their community; and 3) to mobilize the young adults to make other disciples through outreach and evangelism strategies. I believe this is a wonderful growing ministry. 

During today’s four-hour session, which addressed the themes of Salvation and Righteousness, five youth gave their lives to Jesus Christ. Pray with me that their journey in Christ will be fruitful.

As way to assist this wonderful discipleship program, I am requesting that at least 20 persons commit to support $20 per 16-week term. Your $20 will assist one student.  Please email me at Sightbeyondmysight@gmail.com if you are interested in receiving more information about the program or the students.
