One of the greatest virtues in Christian faith or Christian community is humility. Therefore, if humility is the only thing one has learnt in an institution like Christian Faith Institute (CFI), it an achievement worth celebrating.
Samali Jonah, a student of Christian Faith Institute spoke
with the media and communication on how God has changed his life during his four
years of study in the college. Samali Jonah knew about Christian Faith Institute
through a pastor in Gombe. According to him, when the pastor asked what he
would like to do after completing his secondary education, he told the pastor
that he would like to serve God and as a result of his plan, he was thinking
about going to a bible college. It was at this point the pastor told him about
Christian Faith Institute. And after a talk with his parents, they all agreed
that he should come.
Somali intended to spend only two years in Christian Faith
Institute and therefore applied for a diploma programme. But after the expiration
of his two years study, according to him, he found the truth and that made him to go
further and apply for a degree programme, to learn more about this truth.
In his words, “In Christian Faith Institute, I have received
a balanced theology. I used to be spiritual about everything in the sense that
I was not conscious of my neighbor or environment around me. But now, I have
learnt that spirituality has to do with both God, man and environment as well as loving or taking care
of the needy. CFI is a place I wish everyone to be. I was irresponsible and
lazy, but Christian Faith Institute has taught me to be responsible. I was a very proud
person but Christian Faith Institute has taught me humility. I have been
retouched both physically and spiritually. Before I came, I was not able to operate a computer, but now I am able. In CFI, I have also learnt some skills
like aluminum works and shoe making. I can now make shoes for someone. There is
no way you will come to CFI and go back the same. I really appreciate God”.
Somali is left with just a few weeks to finish his degree
programme. He needs prayers to remain steadfast in delivering the truth amidst ravenous
wolves around the corner.
