This fall, there will be a new chapter recorded in Seventh Day Baptist history. After months of preparations, we are launching the inaugural SDB Visiting Instructor Program (VIP).
Pastor Kingsley Gauti, Malawi
Two Visiting Instructors from Africa who are currently participating in the SDB Africa Bible College will lead sessions surrounding Kingdom Living in an African Context. We will wrestle with discussion questions such as: How do we view God? What does the gospel mean for society? What does the gospel mean for the world?
Pastor Kingsley Gauti from Malawi and Pastor Vincent Ayienda from Kenya are the invited Visiting Instructors. They are currently participating in the SDB Africa Bible College and will attend North American SDB regional gatherings, provide instruction during SDBU, and also provide training at the SDB Center in Janesville, WI.
