For the past 4 months, construction on the new Harvest Bible College has been underway! We are proud to present the new and improved HBC! Here are some testimonies….
How has the new Bible School changed your life? How has it blessed you?
Sweetness (student): It’s good! We saw the provision of God. It has revived my faith. I can see that God can do the possible out of the impossible.
Pastor Mabila (Professor/director): It has blessed us a lot. It has changed the pride of students and in terms of environment—their dorm rooms and in the classroom. It changed the picture of the Kingdom of God. It taught the students that God can change anything.
Jeremiah (Professor/administrator): It has changed my mind— it’s a transformation. Since the new building, students have been coming in numbers from all places.
Jean (Professor): Since we’re in the new Bible School, I’ve seen a noticeable change in the students’pride and attitude in the school.
Dawn Redworth (former director’s wife during recent visit): This is such an improvement!
Thembi (student): Too much...I thank God for that. It is so much better spiritually and physically. We thank God!
Nhlanhla (student): The building is wow-awesome! The building is a testimony of where we've come—where things were and where they are now. We struggled before. It was very hot, we couldn’t concentrate, but the new building changed that. A blessing and it changed my life. Looking at what God is doing and seeing answers to our prayers.
Pastor Surprise Sithole (International director of Iris Ministries) At this time, the Bible school has been life changing! And this expansion for the Bible School has brought increased faith and greater unity!
What do you love most about the Bible College?
Sweetness (student): The focus on the Holy Spirit. The leading and moving of the Holy Spirit. Not just teaching from books or from their own lives, but how the Holy Spirit changes our lives spiritually.
Pastor Mabila (Director/Professor): The changes of the classes and dorms.
Jeremiah (Professor/Administrator): It’s about the impartation. Since the Bible College, it’s raising up leaders to go and preach.
Jean (Professor): I love seeing lives transformed through the Word of God and it brings me great joy in fulfilling the call of God to raise disciples.
Thembi (student): How it teaches me to believe in God always, be with people, and trust in Him. I’ve seen a change in my life and my spirit.
Nhlanhla (student): I love most about the Bible College is that it’s a spiritual bible school. Not too academic. We focus and listen to the Holy Spirit. He’s a great teacher. When the Holy Spirit moves, we close our books and listen to what He is saying.
Rose (soon to be graduate): I gained so much knowledge which is good because the Bible says, “My people perish because a lack of knowledge.” Really the bible school has taken me to another level in my spiritual growth! I am grateful for my years of study at Harvest Bible College.
“The harvest is truly plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore, pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” Matt 9:37-38
