Suriname Extension
College & Theological Seminary Education:
Suriname is one of several places where we are in the process of establishing
college and seminary "education by extension." In 1994, this type of education
was formally initiated and affiliated with Reformation International College and
Reformation International Theological Seminary. Since many students desire to
leave Suriname for "bigger" countries, only a few students have taken advantage
of this at present, but we are hopeful that this will change in the future.
Our prayerful goal is to train young men and women in all walks
of life to embrace a biblical world-and-life view that will impact their society
and bring about true reformation in Suriname. Additionally, we envision that the
college program will be useful in training Christian CLA graduates for teaching
at CLA.
To that end we are specifically looking to develop a Bachelor of
Education program as a means of further training our school teachers to prepare
them both for teaching locally as well as providing this service for other
fields who may send their teaching students to Suriname to work in CLA while
taking their courses. We see this as an opportunity to develop both Christian
schooling in Suriname and abroad as well as an opportunity to assist in some of
the needs for Suriname's school. Pray that we may have time and resources to
establish the Education program for training people to teach.
