Praise God for the staff day held yesterday. Give thanks to God that Jennifer, who is still not completely better after contracting dengue fever in India last year, was able to attend. Please pray that as a new year begins the staff will work together well, to ensure that all things done during 2009 will bring glory and honour to God and provide well for the colleges we support.
Lanka Graduate Centre, Sri Lanka
Mr. Obeth Thevanesan recently returned from the University of Wales where he completed his research for his degree of Master of Theology. LBCS sends selected faculty to train overseas so that they will bring back with them knowledge to be able to train leaders in Sri Lanka.
Please pray that as he begins to lecture the Graduate level students at the Colombo Centre that God will use what he has learned in his time away doing research.
Phnom Penh Bible College, Cambodia
The Board of the College has recently made decisions with regard to management positions. Dr. Andrew Kwong has resigned due to health reasons and Axel Clausen, who was Acting Principal during Andrew's sabbatical last year, has taken over as Principal.
The College is thankful to Andrew for his past years of dedicated service and wishes him well for the future. There have been other management changes as well as the change in Principal.

Tyrannus Bible College, Indonesia
The College currently has 8 faculty and staff members in the process of doing further studies (most supported by OCA, and most part-time).
Please pray that God will richly bless the College as better trained faculty and staff will lead to improved teaching which in turn will result in students being better equipped to work in sharing the gospel.
