We were met in our hotel room by Brother E, who is the registrar of the school. He informed us that the security situation was tight. Two churches had been shut down due to their lack of ‘security systems’ to watch the congregants. There was a debate about whether we would meet the students at the school or elsewhere.
It was decided that we would meet the students at the school.
So we proceeded up the ad-filled elevator to near the top floor where a business was operating. Inside the company’s labyrinth of offices we came to a cluster of young students around a board room table and some other workstations.
They greeted me with a cheer and I met their patron, the business owner who is also one of the pastors.
We made our introductions and I tried to remember where each student came from, even if I couldn’t remember their names.
They came from all over the Middle Kingdom.
I taught and it went well. They have good theology, but like most young people, they are not mature enough to see how rare good theology is. Yet they have it, and that is a good place to start.
