The Lukenya Bible school Construction Progress
Preamble:
The Lord Jesus Laid a burden in my heart to build a Bible school to teach righteousness. He miraculously provided 5 ½ acres land for the Bible school. I was given a donation of Bibles, Christian Teaching Books from Rhema Chapel in USA by the Kennefth Hagin ministries. I also received many more Christian Books from friends in Germany, Netherlands, China, USA and South Africa. Several brothers and sisters have been donating for the Bible school construction. We have built most of the building on a flat solid rock.
If we are to move faster, we need more holy prayers, support and donations.
The Courses which shall be offered by the Lukenya Bible School
Lukenya Bible School
Preamble
Lukenya Bible School (Lukenya Theological College) is a non-denominational Christian institute that labours to glorify Christ through equipping, training and serving local churches. We are committed in preparing men and women for the manifold ministries of Christ, by providing holistic, in-depth Bible teaching and training to church elders, Apostles, prophets, Evangelists, pastors, teachers and young people.
Our lecturers offer a high level of quality instruction on various levels of academic and practical vocational education to students from a variety of backgrounds. We motivate consistent organizational leadership through spiritual, economic and academic growth though mentoring and comparative analysis of global experiences.
We make a deliberate effort to extract all authority, doctrine and guidance to character solely from the Bible and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We dedicate our efforts from Matthew 6:33 that the priorities of God must be followed so as to hasten spiritual, economic, social, academic and physical growth. We instruct the way of obtaining righteousness through faith in the resurrected Christ alone. We are committed to release men and women who shall be have a clear flow of the signs which Christ promised to accompany those who shall preach this Gospel. If the signs are not demonstrated, we promise to close the school and refund all fees paid.
By the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we shall be reviewing our curriculum so as to make it responsive to the desire of the Head of the Church, Jesus Christ and also align to global trends and be locally relevant through the integration of contemporary issues into basic theological instruction.
