COLDWATER CHURCH OF CHRIST, WHICH OVERSEES THE FAR EAST / WORLD MISSION WORK, ASSUMES THE OVERSIGHT OF PETER CHIN’S WORK WITH FOUR SEAS COLLEGE OF THE BIBLE AND MISSIONS
YOUR HELP IS NEEDED Elders, Coldwater Church of Christ
Having known brother Peter for some time, the Coldwater elders have confidence in the work Peter will do at Four Seas College of the Bible and Missions. With that confidence the elders of the Coldwater Church of Christ in Coldwater, MS, which oversees the Far East / World Mission Evangelism work, gladly assumes the oversight of the support for brother Peter Chin. This is a big step and your support is desperately needed. Four Seas College has for many years operated a two year training school where men and women can come from many different countries in the Far East and be trained in the Bible - free of charge. Starting in 2008, in addition to the two year program the Four Seas College will have a Graduate Program for those who have already attended a two year school. This will aid those who wish to further their knowledge in the Word of God. It will train men who can go back to their home countries and teach in a Bible training school in their home country. There are already some two year programs in place in some of the countries (Philippines, India, etc). Some who graduate from such like schools may come to Four Seas Bible College and receive more education on a graduate level in a Biblically sound school. Brother Peter Chin will join the other fine faculty members and be able, with God’s blessing to accomplish this work.
