Unlike in the States, here in PNG the school year ends in late November and starts again end of January, first of February. Being in the southern hemisphere this is our summertime.  With the ending of the school year comes graduation.   We were privileged to attend graduation this year and see many of the students that I have taken classes with, as I pursue my course of study, graduate.   It has been a lot of fun taking classes with these men and women as they work to prepare for the ministry and to fulfill the call God has placed upon their lives.  This year we had 52 graduates from Melanesia Nazarene Bible College, 44 of those with varying degrees that MNBC offers.  Eight of those graduating were part of the first ever Masters of Ministries graduating class.  We praise God for this and look forward to the future when more men and women of PNG will graduate with Masters Degrees.   We also appreciate all of the professors and help that Asia Pacific Nazarene Theological Seminary has given in making this become a reality.  Please pray for all of the graduates as the will be heading out into their new pastorate positions or to where God has called them to serve, pray that God would continue to give them wisdom and grace to lead the Nazarene Church here in PNG.
Following graduation, the people congradulating the Graduates.
