THE WHOLE STORY:

 
TRANSFORMATION - FROM WHAT TO WHAT ?

The Transformation movement is spreading through Africa like a veld fire. It started with one city in 2001. In 2002 it had spread to 8 centres. Now 55 stadiums, representing 300 South African towns and cities, are planning to participate in 2003. In addition, 22 African countries have joined in a commitment to transforming the continent through unity in Jesus Christ.

Transformation is part of an ongoing process commencing with a day of celebrating Christian unity, a Walk of Hope and a week of bounty. Action plans to give expression to items listed in the charter will be formulated as part of an ongoing process.

The 1st May is not merely a day of prayer, praise and worship, but it is about mobilizing and celebrating church unity in Africa. We believe that only unity in Jesus Christ will heal our land. We are preparing for no less than the continent-wide participation of 2 million Christians on 1st May 2003!

 
TRANSFORMATION AFRICA ROADSHOW
Things are on the move in PE. Please join us on Monday morning to hear more about what God is doing in our Metropole. Representatives of Jericho Walls, SACLA II, Transformations, Turn the Tide, and Walk of Hope will be there to share the exciting joint vision for the coming weeks and months. Please make every effort to be there - this meeting is open to anyone interested in the move of God in the Nelson Mandela Metropole.

Monday 10th February 2003
Venue: PE West NG Kerk - 5th Avenue / Newton Street, Newton Park

BIBLE INSTITUTE EASTERN CAPE
CERTIFICATE PROGRAMME

This is a course designed to give an introduction to theological study, by giving students the chance to look at biblical and ministry topics in more depth than they would normally encounter in their churches. A strongly evangelical, but non-denominational stance aims to develop a devotion to Christ, a passion for the Gospel of salvation, a grounding in Scripture and a commitment to mission and service. The course, which has been running since 1995, suits lay preachers, cell group leaders, in fact anyone who is involved in the ministry of the Word, mission and evangelism.

The entire course consists of eight modules, each containing eight lessons and it can be completed in a year by students who can attend two evenings a week over normal school terms. Recently it has been possible to take the course at a slower pace, over two years. Some even choose to take just an individual module which meets a particular need.

By the end of the course, students should have acquired:
· An overall grasp of the main concepts and ideas in some of the biblical books
· A basic understanding of how the Bible fits together, and how the purposes of God unfold
· An ability to outline some core doctrines of the Christian faith
· A deepening love of the Lord, a desire to follow him in discipleship in different areas of life
· An ability to share the message of salvation clearly and sensitively with others
· Practical skills in bible-based preaching

Location
The courses are conducted as much as possible in centres conveniently located close to the homes of the students. These centres are seen as "satellites" of the main B.I.E.C. campus in Walmer. Current centres in P.E. include:
Port Elizabeth Central (starting in February with "Evangelism" module)
Cleary Park (starting in February with "Evangelism" module)
Newton Park (starting in February with "Preaching" module)
Kwazakhele (offering the whole course in one year, beginning Feb11th)
Motherwell

Cost
The course fee, which includes notes and lectures for all eight modules, is R800 (or R100 per module). Bursaries are sometimes granted up to 80% of the full fees.

For further details please contact:
Rev Andrew Symes, Bible Institute Eastern Cape
16 Villiers Road, Walmer, 6070

WHAT IS PE CHURCH NET? ... AND HOW YOU CAN HELP

Port Elizabeth Church Net was established in 1999 as an inter-denominational non-profit networking organisation working towards unity among churches and Christians in the Port Elizabeth area and surrounds. We do this largely through the medium of our Internet website, this newsletter and various other electronic communications. We seek to work together with, and in support of, all bona fide Christian organisations, ministries and churches in our area.

Most of our current income comes from advertising revenue from our Christian Business Directory; however this is not sufficient to cover our modest monthly operating costs. It is therefore once again necessary for us to issue an appeal for sponsorship, either one-off or on a monthly basis. We are also in need of updated computer equipment. We trust that you are finding the services we provide to be of value and would ask you to prayerfully consider assisting to support our ministry.

Can you help? Please give us a call on 082 979-9412 or email shaun@pechurchnet.co.za
