Holy Week not wholly weak

Resource for contextual theology

This web site can be used as a model for contextual theology IF we are able to work in the authoritative Bible as the norm for everything we say as well.

It is designed for making presentations sync with their audience. But is essentially what we are trying to do with theology as well.

FATEAC update

I just received this from Isaac Keita which I am translating into English for you:

Very dear Friends and Colleagues,

The hand of God isn't too short to save his children, neither are His ears inattentive to the prayer of those who put their trust in Him.

Yesterday afternoon was difficult for all of Abidjan. Heavy arms fire and unprecedented bombardments targeting several strategic locations were heard. One shell, having missed its target, headed in the direction of FATEAC. By God's grace and as a result of the prayers you addressed to God on our behalf, the shell fell inside the FATEAC wall on an empty surface, the Lord having turned away its trajectory which was headed to the dorms occupied by our students. May GOD be PRAISED!!!

As the combat continues this morning, it is difficult for me to go to the campus and inquire about the details of what happened.

Continue to pray for Côte d'Ivoire in general and for FATEAC in particular. Thank you for your great support. May GOD bless you all.

Isaac Keita
Dean of FATEAC
