COLLEGENEWS
Preaching Course graduates. Pastors Course certicate receivers.Rice Program graduates.
The end of 2012 was a busy timeof graduations at CLTC.
The rst was a group who graduatedfrom the six-month Rice Program.
It was good to see the four studentsreceive certicates and for the rst
time a woman graduated.
At the same service thirteen menand women graduated from the
Preaching Course.
Also, at this time local men andwomen received certicates fromthe Pastors Course. This has been
a very successful outreach to localpastors who have received little
or no Bible training, and preparesthem to teach more effectively.
Then on December 1, history wasmade when 87 students (the largest
number ever) graduated. For the rsttime, six students graduated withMaster of Theology and one with
Postgraduate Diploma of Theology.There was a time of silence toremember Tui Komia who died before
the graduation. He was awarded theMaster of Theology posthumously.
There were graduates in Bachelorof Theology (9), the last group of
Diploma of Theology (13), Diplomaof Mission (2), Diploma of Ministry
(35), Advanced Certicate ofChristian Studies (1), Certicate ofBible and Ministry(16), and One-Year
Bible Course (4).
Hundreds of visitors crowded intothe College to see the ceremony.Dr John Hitchen preached on
Romans 12, encouraging thegraduates to be better equipped intheir relationship with God, their
relationship to the world and theway they relate to themselves.
CLTC continues to send men andwomen into the world inspired to be
godly leaders in PNG and the Pacicarea.

CLTC Program Updates

After three preaching training sessions from 2009,
Langham coordinated a further preaching sessionwith delegates chosen from the many graduatesfrom the three training sessions.
In December 2012 the participants met withfacilitators from Australia, Wendy Toulman and
Andrew Reid.
The delegates resolved to go back to their churches
and plan how they can form preaching clubs, inspirechurch leaders and run preaching programs based on
the Langham model.
Two of the delegates, Jonathan Inapelo and
Captain Henry Henari were invited and attendedthe Langham Preaching Conference in Brisbane inFebruary 2013.
The two-year Master of Theology program for
2013-14 nally began after a 3-week delay. Thiswas mainly due to visa problems experienced bythe international students.
In the rst term the ten students studied Theological
Research and Writing, Greek and Advanced ComputerSkills. Masters students are housed in the newly-completed Masters Village. We are grateful for thenancial partnership of Overseas Council Australia in
assisting with building and operational costs.
The rst student cohort in the Master of Arts in
Organisational Leadership took place at Unitechin Lae in November 2012.
This new program is being offered through Unitech inpartnership with Development Associates International(DAI) and CLTC. The curriculum and professors to teach
the units are provided by DAI, and the accreditationand administration by Unitech. This is a unique distanceeducation program at Masters level aimed at emerging
non-western Christian leaders in PNG and the Pacic.It is also offered in many other countries. The students
meet for a one-week intensive introduction to two unitsand then follow a program of self-study through internetcontact with the professors who come from all over the
world.
Dr Jane Overstreet (International Director of DAI)
introduced the Teaching and Learning for Impactmodule, and Dr David Price (former Principal of CLTC,
now with Pioneers in leadership training) introducedthe foundation Leadership module. These units are allbiblically-based which presents a unique opportunity
being taught in a PNG university context. It was
encouraging to have 19 students participate who werefrom different ministries and organisations in PNG.
Please pray that those in this program will not onlydevelop as leaders of integrity, but also in their
knowledge of God and His Word.

Meet Our Chaplain
I am Pastor Bosuk Anisep, the
Chaplain at Christian LeadersTraining College.
I am from Telefomin in SandaunProvince and my wife Elizabethis from Dreikikier in East Sepik

I rst came to Christian Leaders

I am Joseph Aruni who graduatedwith a Diploma of Ministry in 2012.We give glory to God who brought us
to this marvellous place of change,to experience and build relationshipswith students, faculty and workersof diverse cultural groups.
My wife Betty, adopted son Juniorand I come from Wapenamanda in
the Enga Province.
I was only a 9-months-old Christian,while my wife Betty did not even
know the Lord when we rst wentto Aviamp Bible College. I asked her
if she would like to receive Jesus
Christ as her Saviour and come withme, or if she wanted to stay at
home. She said she would acceptJesus Christ and come with me.
At Aviamp I could see my wife had
not changed her life a great deal.
Though a young, immature
Christian myself, I hadsleepless nights praying
and asking God to changemy wife completely. Godsaw my hearts desire and
she came to know Jesusas her Saviour and herlife changed.
We applied and wereaccepted to come to
CLTC. There is no other place likethe CLTC family a place of fertile
soil and a place of CHANGE,change that takes place from insideto outside.
We came to CLTC as young,spiritually immature Christians, like
dry seed that needs soil and rain inorder to die and germinate. In the
CLTC fertile soil we germinated andgrew into maturity both spiritually
and physically. A big changehas taken place in our individual
lives and our family life. We thankGod for CLTC.
I will pastor a church at Mt Hagenduring our one-year internship. I will
then, with Gods grace, come backto complete my Bachelor course atCLTC.
JosephandBettyAruni,withtheirson,Junior.
KNOWING CHRIST AND MAKING HIM
KNOWN became our motto whilewe were students at CLTC, and has
been in all our ministry since.
In 1989, we were challenged to learnmore about Christ and His calling
on our lives. We had both beenemployed in Port Moresby and beganas 1st year students in CLTCs UMIC
program.
In 1991 we moved to the Banz
campus and began full-time studies.Leaving Port Moresby was not easy
as our church wanted us to chooseanother pathway. Praise be toGod for changing their minds and
releasing us for studies outside of ourdenomination.
During our time at CLTC many lessons
were learned and our spiritualfoundations grew and developed.
We found good teaching and spiritualmentoring from good leaders.
Following graduation in 1994 wehave encountered many trials and
much joy. We wanted to experiencethe intimacy of growing deeper inChrist and this has come through
pain, sickness, sorrow, and grief thathas held our marriage, children andhome together. Christ must be known
and seen rstly in our marriage,
children and home before others canbe convinced of this message of hope
and love to a sick and dying world.
Gods call to follow Him in missionwith Australian Indigenous Ministries
(AIM) came to us in 2010. We were atthe height of ministry in Port Moresby,but our trials were great: a childs
marriage breakup, a son lost to abrain tumor. A missions opportunityin Australia took us to Gilgandra
and Walgett for a week. In those
Aboriginal communities we identiedwith the brokenness of family life,
mothers in pubs with babies in pramsand churches empty. The Lord spoke
to us of the need and hopelessnessand we wept. We arrived back in Port
Moresby, offered our resignation to
our church and were released to moveto Australia. AIM recommended us for
Cherbourg (north of Brisbane).
After seven months of prayer and
fasting, we arrived at Cherbourg, ayear to the day after our son went tobe with the Lord, July 13. He turned
our mourning to dancing and sorrowinto joy and a ministry was begun
here. Our daughter, Retta, 21 yrs. isthe backbone of the ministry, as theneed for young people is so obvious.
She is so willing and daring to move tobring transformation into the lives ofthese youth!
Retta is following in the footsteps of
the founder of AIM, Retta Dixon Long,grandmother of our spiritual mentorat CLTC, Retta Long Renich. She
believes her calling is a legacy begunby Retta Dixon Long, continued byRetta Long Renich and now evident in
Retta Moses!
There are many community projects
that we, as a family, are involved inaround Cherbourg and we count it a
privilege to serve the Lord togetherhere in Australia. Pray for us as moreand more doors of opportunity open
to us.

Greetings to allour generoussupporters inthe ministry ofJesus Christat CLTC.
From thePrincipalEzekiel
Ivihi
Dear Readers, Friends and Supporters,
We are well into the New Year (2013) andit is normal to ask, What are we going to
do, and how far can we look ahead and with
what expectations? May I bring to us all adeep desire that prompts me to ask that we
all prayerfully think about the theme for thisyear 2013 and beyond To Grow Warmer
through Fellowship, Deeper in Discipleship,Stronger through Worship and Broader
in Ministry so that together we can excelin serving Him for His glory. But as youexcel in everything in faith, in speech, inknowledge, and in all eagerness and in the
love from us that is in you make sure thatyou excel in this act of kindness too 2 Corinthians 8:7 (NET).
Together we will strive to excel
for His glory.
During the Commencement Service on
Sunday February 3rd I shared the followingperspective for 2013: Inspired by the vision
and challenged by the Mission of the College,we will strive to pursue excellence in allthat we do in 2013 for His glory. We will be
focused on attaining the state, quality andthe highest condition of excellence; to dobetter than what we have achieved and to
surpass what we have established.
Our pursuit of excellence will not be amatter of simply choosing between what isgood or bad, what is enough and what is not
enough, but of choosing what is the very bestor superior because it will better enable us toaccomplish what God has designed CLTC for
and who we are to achieve excellence for hisglory in 2013.
To strive for success we will be our bestin what we will do this year. However,
excellence must cause us to be our very bestand not just for the sake of success. Success
to us may mean being better than everyoneelse, but excellence means being bettertomorrow than we were yesterday. Success
may mean exceeding the achievements ofother people. However excellence meansmatching our practice with our potential that
God has gifted us to serve Him for His glory.
In 2013 we will strive to excel in trainingand equipping Disciples of Christ, who willgrow in their Christ-like life because they are
rooted and founded in biblical understanding.We will strive to equip and train disciplesof Christ who will become spiritually
mature and empowered by the HolySpirit to experience spiritual and physical
transformation in their lives. We will striveto inspire well-equipped and trained discipleswho will know the Christ they profess as their
Lord and in turn they will make Him knownthrough the fullness of a Christ-like lifeand overowing state of Christian inuence
in their families, communities, churches,nations and the world.
As you read the rst College News for thisyear I hope and pray you will enjoy reading
what has happened at CLTC. This is achallenge to all of us to look on ahead.Are you willing to join us in all that wewill do together to maintain and promotethe grace, goodness and blessing of God in
CLTC?
