On 11 February, Baldaeus Theological College (BTC) opened its new semester with a simple worship service and a few local pastors.
The message given at the service addressed the importance of producing Bible-learned servants of God whose lives reflect the holiness and goodness of God in character and conduct.
Won for Christ
The full-time students work late nights in the library doing assignments and revising lecture notes with books. It was heartening that one of the young students was won for Christ under the ministry of one of the past students at Baldaeus about 15 years ago. His pastor wants to be a supportive partner of the ongoing mission of BTC.
Pray that the trust, prayers and money invested in BTC by generous donors will be put to the full and best use for serving the gospel of Christ through training on campus and at churches and centres in Sri Lanka. Since reopening there has been an amazing number of requests from various churches in nearby districts for BTC extension courses; but the primary, difficult and initial task is to rebuild and to strengthen the base in Trincomalee with full-time students and a faithful, God-honouring, learned and committed teaching cadre.
