ARAKONAM - 120 Congregations in Nine Years

The Arakonam School of Evangelism was the first school which Banner Elk supported from its beginning in 1999. Brother Stevenson, the director for the school, is a mighty evangelist. When I spoke for the graduation at Arakonam (April 14) I inquired as to the number of congregations within a fifty mInile radius. The brothers agreed that there are approximately 160 congregations of the churches of Christ. Of these, 120 have been started by graduates from the Arakonam school. The Arakonam school is now a three-year program. The lot on which the school exists is only about 50’ X 100’. The building is crowded and in need of serious repairs. We will be looking at plans to improve the facilities in coming months.
