Dear TEE Networkers
I am attaching the prayer notes received from the DTE department of the
Christian Leaders Training College, Papua New Guinea. Our friends there
have been most supportive to the Day of Prayer we had last month and have
suggested that we should continue this quarterly
We received today a very encouraging report from David Rowsome, former TEE
Co-ordinator, CLTC, Papua New Guinea, regarding exciting TEE developments in
the Solomon Islands . I quote
"I returned from the Solomons a week ago Saturday and I am very happy to
report that we had a wonderful tutor training. There were 46
tutors-in-training representing about half of the 50 associations of the
South Seas Evangelical Church (SSEC) throughout the Solomon Islands. I
don't normally recommend such a large TEE group but I praise God for His
special touch upon that gathering. I believe the world TEE prayer day went
before this time in a wonderful way. It was a special joy to me as the
training took place at Kaotave in the same chapel where the SSEC
Consultation for TEE took place fourteen years ago in 1992. This was where
TEE course 'Take the Teachings' had its beginning when a final year
Christian Leaders' Training College student who accompanied me gave his
evening devotion on 2 Timothy 2:1-9. I think that you already know the
story as founds on page 5 of the Seminar Suggestions for Take the Teachings.
And I praise God that Rev. Jonathan Kubalua who used to accompany me to the
prisons in Papua New Guinea to run TEE groups when he was a student at CLTC
in the early 1990's was my co-tutor. It's hard to describe the joy I felt
during the five days of tutor training at Kaotave. Although a fourteen year
gap may seem like a long time I sensed that this tutor training was the
Lord's doing and timing. "
"The tutor training took place 19th to 23rd May. The previous week was the
SSEC General Conference also held at Kaotave which I attended as an
observer. The tutor training was an intensive time with everyone working
very hard until the generator went off at night. Even then some were buying
candles and extra kerosene! There was such a wholehearted response to take
sound Biblical teaching out through TEE to the 700 local churches in their
associations. After so many years of no Bible schools and TEE there is a
real hunger for the teaching of God's Word in the SSEC. I believe CLTC TEE
can play a strategic part in this new start to theological training in the
SSEC. "
