Santiago Theological Seminary

|
|
We praise God for the ministry God has called us to
with Santiago Theological Seminary (STS). In April Bruce made a second trip in 2019 to
Santiago, Dominican Republic to teach a missions course. Currently, the 45
students are completing a course on O.T. survey. The summer term they will be
doing a practicum of applying what they learned into an outreach ministry. Rev. Aris Sanchez and Bruce write the syllabi, study questions, and final exam for each course.
Praise God STS was able to receive approval as an
educational foundation by the government in the Dominican Republic, and ACTS, the organization
created here in the USA to receive funds for STS, has now received non-profit
status approval!

| Foundations for Reformation of our Faith
Bruce has just finished the manuscript for a book on the
five solas of the Reformation which concerns
their continued relevance to both Roman Catholicism and Protestantism today and which will be part of the STS curriculum. Pray for its publication and eventual translation to Spanish.

Mercredi Accepted to Haverford!
Praise God that Mercredi-saint received a
full scholarship, including room, board and books, to Haverford College! God has been very good to
him, including providing a good summer job. Pray for him to develop spiritually
in Christ, get involved with a Christian group on campus, and do well as a
pre-med student.

Seminary Library Inaugurated
Praise God Santiago Theological Seminary has been able to set up a new library
with shelving, seating, tables, AC, and software for
operation. We celebrated with an inauguration event. Although we now have a
good collection of books in English, we need to acquire many more in Spanish. A
Reformed Spanish language book distributor will send our library all the book
titles they have and ship them for $5,000. Let me know if you are interested in
this project. |
