South Asia: theological education

20 February 2025

Praise God for a good start for a newly enrolled cohort of students doing a Master of Arts in Christian Studies in South Asia. They began their first module on research methods earlier this month and are now doing some field research before returning to their base for the second half of the module next month. Pray for the field research and the module as a whole to be useful and encouraging to them. Please also lift up another seminary in South Asia, where a power struggle between the principal and the chairman of the board has led to police action and court cases. Please pray for truth and justice to prevail and for the faculty and students to be able to focus on their teaching and studies in a peaceful environment.
