Principal of the God’s Agent of Transformation (G.A.T) discipleship and leadership training centre has charged the school’s new graduates that we are living in the days of apostasy, and to have a clear understanding of the times we are living as true disciples of Christ.
In his address, Pastor Dr. Francis A. M. Mambu, who is also the General Overseer of Faith Healing Bible Church, charged them to preach the undiluted word of God, referencing “2 Timothy 4:1-5”, and to always be the light of the world, providing the Christ type of leadership to their families, church and communities.
He was speaking at the 5th graduation ceremony of the Bible training centre at the Ajayi Crowther Amphitheater, FBC Campus, on Saturday November 23, 2024.
In all, 600 graduates were presented with certificates after going through a year of holistic training in different discipleship and leadership training courses.
The Vice Principal II of the School, Pastor Josephus D. Paris, tasked the graduates to go back and assist pastors in their various denominations and branches of the church, and make use of the knowledge they have acquired in the bible school, by practicing the things they were taught.
The guest speaker, Rev Buya Morlai Kamara, General Overseer of the First Assembly of God Church, encouraged the graduates to take their inspiration from the scriptures and rely on the Bible as their only guide. The clergy, who noted that the way some religious leaders handle religious activities brings disrepute to the household of God, advised them to be upright and dedicated to the work of God.
The Admin Coordinator of G.A.T, Pst. Ayodele Agoro, gave a brief history of how well the Bible school has fared since its humble beginnings in 2019, with twelve campuses in Freetown. According to him, the bible school has now been decentralized to the Provincial towns of Bo, Kenema, Makeni, Kono, Port Loko, Rutile, Kabala and Kailahun.
The graduates expressed joy, giving testimonies of what the Lord has done for them since they enrolled in the Bible Training Centre, and how they are now transformed individuals and territory takers for Jesus. Some of them were awarded for their outstanding performances.
Each graduate was certified and accepted as worthy to operate as disciples and leaders respectively by the Principal of G.A.T, Pst. Francis A. M. Mambu.
