ESTES

I found this really cool video explaining the ministry of ESTES, an undergraduate, evangelical school of theology in Ndjamena, Chad.

I was there in 2006.  Abel Ngarsoulede is training to return to teach theology at this school.  The video is very well done.  Also I met Prof. Scott Hafemann just last November in Boston.

This video would give you a brief glimpse of the kind of future ministry of the people we are helping to train will be doing after their training is complete.  Daniel Kambou and Moussa Bongoyok are alumni of our program who are active in Cote d’Ivoire and Central African Republic respectively.  The need is great and the ministry of theological education is strategic.

One thing I noticed when I was in Chad when the pastor of a large church asked the students to stand up, I’d say more than 3/4s of the congregation stood up.  Not only is the church in Chad growing, but it is also young.
