CLET--BILL continued (Centre for Lutheran Theological Studies) - Glenn took us to meet the students and professors at CLET. Social introductions are an important part of life in Africa so we meet first and talk business later. Matthew is our leader so he spoke for us and Glenn interpreted. We met Dr. Dongo from the Congo who is the Director of CLET. He has an infectious smile. We also met Reverend Joseph Tehibinda, the President of the Lutheran Church in the Democratic Republic of Congo, who is teaching a course on evangelism.
Then, we met sixteen of the students. They are very gracious and thankful that we have come, but most of them have left their families to come to this school for a year, which is a big sacrifice. Our plan is to interview the Director of the Center and several students for our promotional materials to give potential partnering churches a visual presentation of the type of student they will be supporting when they partner with CLET.
