Perhaps you may recall our wonderful friend Polycarp.
Last year Polycarp assisted us when Bob’s backpack, wallet, and driver’s license was stolen, by driving Bob to our conference in the bush.
However, Polycarp’s abilities as a translator and Bible School teacher made him a wonderful asset to our team for the week by assisting in translating for us, giving Bayo a respite for his overworked voice from time to time. Polycarp was very enthusiastic as he learned right alongside us while translating the principles of the Christian’scovenant with God.
One year later. . .and here we are! We visited Polycarp and his wife Ana in their home. We shared wonderful stories of life and ministry. How he has grown in the past year! He has now taken a full-time position at Agape Bible School (on the outskirts of Arusha, in Tengeru village) as both a teacher and principle. His favorite class is Basic Theology for the first-year students. . .in which he teaches our covenant materials (among other things, of course).
He was so excited to know that we are continuing our teaching conferences out in the bush. He has volunteered to join us for our conference at the end of this month. (The Bible School is on break now for the holidays.) Likewise, Bayo is also happy to have Polycarp’s assistance.
