It was a proud moment for 14 international students who received Theology Certificates and Diplomas alongside local students who graduated from the World Harvest Institute held at the World Harvest Centre in Kinoya last Saturday.
It was also the first time when students were given their assigned places of mission during graduation.
The founder and president of Christian Mission Fellowship International, Reverend Suliasi Kurulo, who was the chief guest at the graduation, spoke of the need to understand the global mission trend to be effective missionaries.
He quoted the words of Jesus in John 9:4 where there is an urgency and necessity for our mission in this world.
The calibre of students that graduate from the World Harvest Institute are unique in their approach to spreading the Gospel, reaching out to the lost, helping the needs of the community and planting churches wherever they are sent to.
Courses designed at the WHI are accredited and recognised by the Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA, which works in partnership with the World Harvest Institute since signing a memorandum of understanding in 2005.
At the World Harvest Institute, courses and programmes are of a global perspective and upon completion; students are directly assessed and accredited by the Oral Roberts University.
World Harvest Institute’s legacy is to mould, train, equip and empower men and women to take the Gospel and spread the good news of Jesus Christ to the marginalised, the forgotten, the neglected and unreached peoples groups in nations around the world.
They are trained and equipped to go to places where the light of God is dim, where His voice is small, and where His healing power is not known
