I had an inkling that the program would be intensive but not to the degree of intensity to which we were subjected but it was all worth it, every inch of it. The structure of the program, the pragmatic exchanges and animated discussion during the sessions was profound and enriching to say the least. The complement of a high caliber, very well experienced faculty adds to the quality of the experience. These men and women are professionals of international repute and it was a privilege to have encountered them. The visionary leadership, tenacity and focus of the President of the seminary, Dr. Oluwasayo Ajiboye is worthy of commendation, with him at the helms of affairs the seminary is sure to reach its lofty goals. The high point of the program, for me, was the field trip which provided, first hand, exposure to a whole new dimension of ministry application. The experience ignited my creative instinct and has given me a new perspective to my approach to ministry work and community development. Wednesday, June Seventeenth We live today in a rapidly changing world with the attendant post-modern / meta-modern challenges in which a Two new norm Thousand in culture is and constantly Fifteen being redefined. It calls for church leaders, pastors and personalities with the ability to influence to acquire the requisite skills and know-how not only to cope but to influence this generation positively in godly pursuits. I will recommend pastors to consider undertaking the EMMP program, I guarantee that the experience would be well worth it. For me the seminary has fired up my desire to contribute and impact humanity in the best possible way. 9

Fasanya and they have five beautiful children. Ayo works together with husband on missionary projects in Rwanda, and in some other locations in West Africa. At these mission stations, Ayo and Emmanuel serve groups of orphans and widows. Ayo attended the RCCGNA Seminary where she received her Advanced Diploma degree in 2014 and was inspired to pursue the Masters in Ministry. The Masters in Ministry program introduced me to new concepts for Christian living and leadership. Ayo was impacted by concepts such as Agile Leadership, Technology and the Media in Ministry, Coaching and Mentoring, Pentecostal Identity and many other classes. Classes in the Bible College showed that genuine ministry occurs only with a close relationship with God and by the leading of the Holy Spirit. Such a ministry will witness healing, prophecy, miracles and other signs and wonders. Christian churches and ministries can only impact their communities by the Holy Spirit and an entrepreneurial mindset that is open to Holy Spirit generated innovation and excellence.

The First year Courses exposed what is going on bin the homes of American Church members. Courses such as Introduction to Biblical Counseling, Introduction to Counseling Theories, Cycles of Addiction and Holy Spirit and Counseling; took me into the reality of the larger American Society. The Second-year curriculum has been explosive. Concepts such as The Wellness Model of Mental Health, Cultural, Encapsulations, Legality& Ethicality, Power & Oppression, "Constructs of Impact and Preventions," and "The Holy Spirit,", etc. have indeed equipped me to come to this conclusion: The Church has a critical part to play in re imagining the American Society.

12 PROGRAM VALEDICTORIAN STUDENT THAT HAS COMPLETED THE LARGEST NUMBER OF PROGRAMS - ADEBISI OSHIKOYA Bisi Oshikoya is a parish Pastor of RCCG, Victory Temple Knightdale, NC and Co-Pastor at RCCG, Victory Temple Raleigh, NC. She is happily married to Pastor Yomi Oshikoya and they are blessed with two wonderful children. Bisi Oshikoya explains her desire to learn: I wanted to study counseling but the ministry was young, and I kept postponing. When the Seminary started, I decided to start with a correspondent certificate, then to post graduate diploma in Ministry, then to Executive Masters in Ministry, Post Graduate Diploma in Counseling and now a Master of Arts in Counseling. I studied despite the fact that it was not easy or convenient. I love to learn but I do not like the writing part of the school. Dr. Shayo is my encourager. He will always say: You can do it! It is not about the examination; it is about your work with the young adults, and you can be an example. I Thank God that I listened. The Bible College has been deep and encompassing, I learnt about Diagnosis, Psychology, how to use Geno-Pro to discover family root, counseling, legal matters and many others to fortify me in the work of the ministry especially with the young adults. At 50, she is ready for the next phase of her life and ministry as she has been well equipped through the Seminary.

The pressure of becoming an authority in my profession delayed my attending the Bible College. I am grateful that I am here today, by the grace of God to see a part of my dream fulfilled. Coming to Bible College has helped me to become a more discerning Christian. I received critical tools for efficient service. I learned the process of searching the Scriptures daily for myself. I became like the Bereans: His Word enlightened my heart. The Bible College exposed me and gave me opportunities to develop the abilities to proclaim liberty to the captives. The College deconstructed some of my biases about the ministry and the Bible, it totally changed my perception of the world. More than ever, I realize that I must to live a life of sacrifice and obedience. My time at the Bible College kept me more focused on the author and finisher of my faith. My professors made rooms to answer my numerous questions, they made helped to clarify my vision for the kingdom of God I am trusting God to help to show forth the glory of Him that has called me from darkness into His marvelous light.

Ordained Assistant Pastor in 2006 and I have served alongside my husband in RCCG House of Glory Baltimore since I had attended bible schools before but never completed due to life change events and relocation. However in 2014, I registered and completed the RCCGNA Boot camp certificate program as part of the requirement for ordination as full Pastor in the Redeemed Christian Church of God (NA). Also for personal enhancement, biblical and Theological enhancement to gain a greater grasp of the knowledge and service of God. I very much appreciate the fact that the course was offered online. It fitted well into my already crowded schedule and responsibilities, to family, church, ministry, job and friends. As with all life pursuits it was challenging, rigorous and time consuming. However it was worth it and I look forward to applying what I have learned. The passion with which our lecturers taught each session made it the more interesting and motivating. I particularly gained a lot from the following Modules: Right Leadership; Making an impact today; Impacting your City; Intergenerational Ministries; and use of Social Media to enhance the ministry. Addressing the issue of generational and cultural gaps is of utmost importance if we as a church or parents do not want to loose our youths to the world. Of equal importance is making an impact through outreach to the people in our community and loving them into having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. By this we will fulfill our mandate preaching the gospel to every creature.

18 CANDIDATES FOR GRADUATION YEAR 2015 Best Seminary The Value Program Systems Of Lead Our Seminary Year 2015 Bakke Graduate University Graduates Dr. Funmilayo Adeyemi is the Executive Director of Hope For You Inc. in her day job. She is the wife, mother, and human resource expert and community activist. Having served on multiple mission fields, Dr. Funmi has a passionate commitment to raising, supporting and caring for missionaries on the field. Her strong desire is that the church will actively engage the community in missions. In her words I decided to take a plunge at the Doctoral program because of a deep passion for transformational change. Yes, the church has all it takes to evangelize the world. But, without citizenship responsibility and a deliberate, active, practical sense of social responsibility; the preaching of the gospel will be considered by our neighbors a mere theory." The church can effectively impact the American society with the bible in one hand and social services in another hand. Dr. Kolade Adeyemi is the Senior Pastor RCCG Lighthouse for the Nations. He is also a veteran High school Special Education Teacher. Dr. Adeyemi's experiences on the mission fields of southern Africa gave him a genuine knack for international missions. For the rest of his life, he plans to continue to mobilize, train and reawaken the Church of God to revisit the work of missions and model their operations after the book of Acts. The Doctoral of Transformational Leadership program is symmetrical to this passion. Dr. Adeyemi believes that the church must justify her enormous grace and potential as the salt of the earth and light of the world. In his words One huge platform for a holistic and acceptable gospel is structural engagement within the American community. Children of God must see that it is their ethical and biblical responsibility to give back! The tangible expression of faith in the form of material, infrastructural and social services makes the Church relevant. We will see a positive transformation of communities, we will witness an inside-out change.

A true servant leader, Milverton has passionately served the Seminary this Year Milverton is a leader of leaders. Hear him in his own words: My Vision was born out of a God given desire to see people achieve much more than any limitations placed before them. I strongly desire to develop leaders using the word of God as well as proven leadership tools. I believe that every human possesses a ruling capacity just like God. God purposely created man to be exactly like Him, He desires that we reign in our chosen fields. I truly believe that every Man is called to Carry the Image of God. Teaching at the seminary, helping to lead programs and pastoring gives me the platform to reach out to many people and tell them "It is possible to achieve greatness and it is possible to attain to their God given purpose

19 SEMINARY TEACHER OF THE YEAR 2015 The Value Systems Of Our Seminary Outstanding Partner BAKKE Pastor O.J. Kuye, Provincial Pastor NAR 5, Province 1 Seminary Faculty And Specialist On Church Planting OJ KUYE: MY PHILOSOPHY OF TEACHING My philosophy of teaching can be summed up in the words of Henry Adams: A teacher affects eternity, he can never tell where his influence stops. As a teacher, I try as much as possible to influence the minds and thoughts of students positively so they can discover in themselves the inner strength for handling situations for a better outcome. If I succeed in accomplishing that no matter how little, I have extended the frontier of knowledge and accomplishment, which can be passed on to several others across generations. Teaching therefore, to me, is simply helping others to discover what they do not know or enhance what they know about themselves, others, subjects and situations to get a better outcome and passing on the same knowledge to others.
