Bridgman Centre has once again opened its doors and welcomes the Training in Mission(TIM) participants. TIM programme is a Council for World Mission (CWM) initiative which selects a number of young participants for training for a period of one year. The first six months is spent in South Africa and teh rest in India. Participants are divided into four groups of 3 each spend two weeks at each placement centre.
We welcomed Prince, Dianna and Victor as the first group of participants. They spent the two weeks during the school holidays of April. Unfortunately they were deprived of interaction with the Aftercare kids - who number 53. They assisted with the planning of the programmes for the following term. Dianna was fortunate to be invited to lead a training session with our 15 elder ladies who come to the centre to do physical training.
Charles, Tieem and Petagaye, the second group particpated in the more programmes. They had an opportunity to participate in homebased care run by our own HEDCO group.
Both groups also aprticipated in a rigrous Bible study - which was in preparation for the Bible lesson given to the Aftercare group on Mondays. We look forward to housing the next two groups.
We are thrilled that Bridgman Centre serves as a learning and teaching institution.
