08 Jul Good News from Jamaica
2010 graduates of Jamaica Bible College
Owen Gordon (right), a UB minister in Jamaica and president of Jamaica Bible College, sent this note:
“It has been a couple weeks since I requested special prayers for our lovely island. Thank you for being faithful in upholding us in your prayers! God continues to come through for us. The Security forces continue the relentless effort of putting the criminals out of business. Christopher Coke has been captured, extradited, and is now facing trial in New York. The evil forces of destruction continue to retreat as the law enforcement agents continue in the effort to restore this country to peace and quietness.
“Amidst the external turmoil, Jamaica Bible College is experiencing one of its best years. On Sunday, July 4, we graduated 54 students from our various programs:
- 7 from Bible.
- 10 from Business.
- 12 from Pre-College.
- 25 from Early childhood.
“We had a great day with Dr. Las Newman, president of Caribbean Graduate School of Theology, giving the main address.
“It was an added delight to have Dr. Joyce Thornton along with six friends from Union Chapel (Fort Wayne, Ind.) and Dillman UB (Warren, Ind.) churches as special guests at the graduation.”

Posted at 20:51h, 11 JulyI can not express what a thrill and priviledge it was to be one of those special guests (the one from Dillman) at the Jamacia Bible College graduation. The other five from Union Chaple and myself had worked hard for 11 days prior to that to help get JBC in shipshape order for the graduation.
