Change


Bwana asifiwe! (Praise the Lord!)
I praise God that He has provided for me to come to such an amazing theological school that is equiping and training so many wonderful men and women of God who are truly world changers in the name of Jesus Christ!

I know that my God is a provider and so, right now, I am coming to you asking for help.
NEGST, as an institution, is suffering financially right now. I am not saying this to bring shame upon my great school, but rather to get the word out and ask for help. Furthermore, individual students are not being able to pay their school fees and some are going with little or no food for their families. Due to health regulations, we had to remove asbestos from the roofs, which was expensive. Due to the economy, it is hard to find jobs and even harder to find jobs that pay much. And due to the nature of school, it is difficult to have a job while one is studying. Many of our staff are going unpaid as of right now and many of the things we would like to do to further our learning and ministry are not going to be able to happen. This is just a small snapshot of the many problems facing us today.

There are so many wonderful people from all over the world at NEGST who are all here because of their calling by God. We are together in believing that God is good, He is loving, He cares about the needs of His people. I pray that you can find it in your heart to help us.

Thank you and God bless!

2 Cor 8:2-5
2Out of the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. 3For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, 4they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the saints. 5And they did not do as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then to us in keeping with God's will.
