Twenty-two students from the P.A.S. HOPFAN Bible Institute received their theological diploma on April 26, 2015, following four years of training. Over 2,000 people attended the ceremony organized by the NGO at the Martin Ngoko national basketball center in Bangui, CAR. Out of the 22 students, 12 can now serve the LORD as Pastors and another 10 as Evangelists.

One week earlier, the students defended their graduate dissertations in front of a jury comprised of representatives of the Bangui Faculty of Theology (FATEB) and the Spiritual Awakening Mission (MRS) church, in addition to P.A.S. HOPFAN’s representatives.

The first training session provided by the Bible Institute started in October 2009 with 16 students.  After two years, only one student passed the final exam as a Souls Winner.

The training continued with a second class comprised of 36 students from 2011 to 2015. Overall, 22 students successfully passed their final exams and were invited to receive their diplomas at the graduation ceremony in April 2015.

Some of the graduates are teaching Bible classes at Siloé School, another project of P.A.S. HOPFAN.
