Consulting with Dr. John Brown Okwii


After spending three months in Kenya doing field research, Silas has returned to the USA and he stopped by Lineville, AL to visit his wife Rahab while she attends the ten week course with SIFAT. During his visit he was introduced to Dr. John Brown Okwii who was teaching Conflict Resolution and Development at SIFAT. In addition to teaching all around the world, Dr. Brown also runs two seminaries in Nigeria. On Sept. 4 Beth and Sally joined Silas and Rahab in a consultation meeting with Dr. Brown at SIFAT. Dr. Brown is a wealth of information regarding schools for pastor training, and he was most generous with his advice and wisdom based on all his experience. As an added bonus, Dr. Brown has agreed to teach a session at Providence in 2010. We are thankful to God for placing him in our path for such a time as this.
