Today we received word that our newest faculty member, Greg Stephenson, has been granted a visa to come to teach at The Shepherd's Bible College for one year. He will apply for that to be extended in due course.
Greg's primary role is to develop our two new programmes at level 6 and level 7. We believe these together with our existing level 5 programme will provide any even greater depth of training for those entering into bi-vocational and vocational ministry. Greg will also be lecturing in those programmes.
Greg, Traci and Micah come to us from their sending church, Christ Community Church in West Covina, California – a church whose sacrificial support means The Shepherd's Bible College can move to the next stage of ministry training in New Zealand. Greg has served in that church for the past eight years as Associate Pastor. During the six years prior to that he gained much experience in the area of facilitating international missions. Greg earned his Master of Divinity degree in 2001.
We are so thankful to God and to Christ Community Church for providing Greg and his wonderful family to come serve alongside us at The Shepherd's Bible College.
Please pray for Greg, Traci, and Micah as they make this transition into Kiwi life. They expect to arrive here in Hastings within the next 3-4 weeks.
