earning good money as reward for their studies. That is the most popular job mindset you go to school strive to achieve a clean paper and high levels purposely for getting job and money. It’s an amazing thing to hear in Sunday Adult Education program that some students their top priority is not a job and money but personal intellectual growth and remaining relevant to this changing world. Not all students are here for a job and money, as matter of fact some of them are part of the marginalized poor and vulnerable target populations who cannot work after they leave school because of their disabilities, old age, handicaps, and all sorts of other

challenges. Most of these people are students in the Sunday Adult Centre. The Sunday Adult Education program is one school in Western Bahr el Ghazal where the school fees are charged at the lowest rate possible, perhaps this is why it attracts such kinds of people. The big question is the rise and fall on the ECS-Diocese of Wau. How will we manage to run a school like this when we are not financially stable? Will we be able to give the best quality of education in this school that has become a home of vulnerable people? Perhaps you could help us support this need?
Progress at St John’s Theological College By Rev Joseph Mamer St John’s Theological College is currently a small venture attempting to serve a cluster of eight ECS Dioceses in the Greater Bahr el Ghazal area of South Sudan. There is a great need for the expansion of services and so a long term plan has been developed to grow the college in every respect to meet the demands of the dioceses it is set to serve. Establishing a suitable training facility in this area of South Sudan is very necessary to maintain an appropriate level of cost effective theological tuition to strengthen the current and future ECS clergy and lay staff of the eight Bahr el Ghazel cluster dioceses. St
John College seeks to become one of the best ECS provincial theological colleges.
Rev Joseph Mamer has since this article left the post of Principal and will be succeeded by Rev Braham Ngor as acting Principal until December. Please join with Bishop Moses in giving thanks for all his hard work to build a college from the ground up and pray that Rev Braham may continue this task with as much enthusiasm and effort to follow God’s will until a replacement can be found.
