Last November we asked you to pray with us for the staff and
students at Børkop Højskole, where leadership of this growing Bible college had
just stepped down after bringing the school through turbulent times.
Who would lead the school and its students into the coming
years?
Good news: Pastor and theologian Robert Bladt begins as the
school’s new headmaster August 1, just in time for the new term. More good
news: Attendance is up, and the school is on much better financial ground.
Bladt brings enthusiasm and fresh ideas to his new job, and
believes Børkop can play a key role in training a new generation of church
leadership.
“A Bible school should teach us to enter completely both
into society and the church,” he says. He believes Børkop should be an
environment where students can get to know God better through creative
projects, through music, or even through adventure trips. It’s the kind of
training Danish secular schools clearly cannot offer.
That’s a challenge. And that’s good news!
PRAY for Robert
Bladt and his wife, for energy and enthusiasm as he begins his new work at the
Bible college.
PRAY for the
faculty, staff, and students at Børkop, that they would catch Bladt’s vision
for the school.
PRAY that a fresh
vision to reach the country for Christ would start at Børkop.
PRAY that God
would bring revival to Denmark through Bible schools like Børkop.
