Website

I have set up a basic website for the Groves Centre on Google sites. You can see it here: http://bit.ly/Grovescentre. It still needs work, and some of the information will need to be revised in the next few days, but the basics are all there. Please pass this on to anyone who may be interested in studying in Prague during the next academic year.

Study Centre Latest


The last few months have been a bit up and down in many ways as we have sought the Lord's guidance concerning the year-long course at the ICP Study Centre. As most of you know, this has been the plan ever since we arrived in January 2009 but it is only in the last few weeks that we have received the final go-ahead from the church. Our revised plan is for us to rent office and teaching space in the centre of Prague which will allow us to offer a variety of courses, ranging from a year-long full-time one to part-time modules. The materials we intend to use are the same as originally planned - modules from Trinity College in Bristol. Please pray with us as we seek students fro the various courses and as we search for premises. The plan is to rent from the beginning of August, but this will only be the case if we have full-time students at that stage. The centre will be called "The Groves Centre" after Anthony Norris Groves (more information about him is on Wikipedia and in the brochure I mention below).
We feel very much in the Lord's hands and are waiting upon him in terms of students. A brochure with more details of the course and our plans can be downloaded from here: http://bit.ly/ICPgc (this is still being revised, so the final version will look a little different, though the main information is accurate). If you know of anyone who would be interested in studying here, then please pass this information on to them or ask them to contact us directly. Please continue to pray, we are extremely grateful for your faithful prayers over the past 2 1/2 years.
