BIBLE SCHOOL (SA)
BBM has been training students from around the world for since 1991.
The curriculum includes the study of every book of the Bible, pastoral and other skills needed in the work of a church pastor.
Iphiko’s service to the college is to provide counselling training to each of the students.
ELUKWATINI CHURCH (SA)
The church community was meeting in a leaky shack, but Pastor Vussi, had a vision for a new building that would be big enough for everybody as the church continued to grow. And the church is now built! A new pastor has been commissioned, who looks after the growing congregation.
LEADERSHIP TRAINING
In South Africa, Zambia and Tanzania, basic counselling skills training is offered to church and other community leaders. Many have been known to walk miles just to attend.
Every week we receive requests to deliver training, though with restrictions due to Covid we are unable to make any arrangements for the foreseeable future.
PROJECTS
COUNSELLING
Margrite Tebboth BA Hons. Reg.MBACP, ACC, Accr.CS is a trained counsellor, psychotherapist and teacher. She travels at least twice yearly with Iphiko, others come on single or just a few visits.
The focus of counselling is to address the emotional and spiritual damage of trauma, rape, abuse, domestic and other violence, suicide, murder, bereavement and divorce.
CHILDREN'S WORK (SA)
We support a couple of crèches - helping to provide a safe space for vulnerable children who are at risk of being traumatised due to the high incidence of child/infant sexual abuse.
The Elukwatini church looks after over 50 children with a feeding programme, some of whom are refugees from neighbouring countries. As they are there illegally, the government will not provide for them.
