Graduation Day

Graduation day at the Mission is an exciting time. When members of our Discipleship Academy complete their work – usually after 12 months - we hold a graduation ceremony. Today, we graduated Greg Smith and John Maynard.

The Discipleship Academy is an intensive course of study with the goal to develop followers of Jesus Christ. It includes academic instruction, Biblical instruction, service duties and internship opportunity. See a complete description here.

Graduation is no minor accomplishment. “It was the most difficult thing I have ever done,” said Greg (left). John (right) told the audience, “There were many times that I thought, ‘I’ve been here for a few months. I’ve got this.’ But every time, the Lord encouraged me to finish the course.” These men testify to the transforming power of the gospel.
