Friday February 3rd was the 5th Graduation Ceremony for Africa Renewal Christian College (formerly Gaba Bible Institute). We had the honor of graduating 52 students with Diplomas and Certificates as well as the first 18 graduates from our Kiwoko Extension Campus.
Over 400 guests from partner churches and organizations joined us for this historic event, including a special performance from Mwangaza Children's Choir.
17 of our students received Diplomas in Biblical Studies or Pastoral Ministry. 28 students received Certificates in Ministry or Worship Leading and another 7 students received Certificates in English or Computers. This no gives us over 160 alumni serving throughout East and Central Africa!
It has become a tradition to end the graduation ceremony with a commissioning and prayer service for the graduates. The students knelt in the middle of the field while pastors from all over the country laid hands on them and prayed over then as they head out into the mission field. It is our prayer that God will use them in a powerful way to build up his church and to spread the gospel throughout Africa!
Congratulations Class of 2012!
