Ganye Bible School

The Ganye* Bible School was founded in 1992 by the UEEPN denomination (Union of Evangelical and Protestant Churches of Niger). The school currently offers a four-year Hausa-language Bible study program for men and women who wish to study the Bible in depth and prepare for ministry.

Reverend Keshe Marafa is the Director of the Gesheme Bible School and one of its six teachers. 

The school currently has 20 students, 7 women and 13 men. The Guéchémé Bible School is located in western Niger in the village of Guéchémé in the Dosso Region.

Following an evangelical program developed in collaboration with ECWA, the school teaches subjects such as Old Testament, New Testament, doctrine, French, discipleship, health, literacy, and pastoral ministry.

Points of praise and prayer:

  • We thank God for the recent graduation of six students. Please pray for the graduates as they enter their various ministries.

  • Praise God for the October harvest, which provides food for students, teachers, and their families for the coming year. Pray that there will be enough food for all families.

  • Please pray that the students, teachers, and school receive financial assistance for basic expenses and the school's development needs.

  • Praise God for raising up teachers and students to study the Bible and serve among His people in Niger. Please pray for faithfulness to the Word of God.

Ganye Renovation Projects

Here is an old classroom and several teacher offices

After having to reinstall the classroom roof five times after it blew away in storms, the teachers in Ganye* are grateful to now have metal beams and a new roof, which provide a solid structure for the classrooms.

Thanks to a recent donation, the Ganye* Bible School was able to build a wall to protect its property. In the past, their campus was crisscrossed by a multitude of roads. Now, students can study and live in peace.

Several members of the Ganye* faculty received oxen and carts as gifts, enabling them to increase food production from their millet farms to provide for their families.

Future Needs

The Bible school in Ganye* needs two latrine systems and a cooking area.

The Ganye Bible School is facing the impending retirement of two of its teachers who have taught there for several decades. When these teachers retire, the school will need to provide housing for two new teachers who will be moving in.

Ganye Bible School also needs three supplementary classrooms

Because of increasing student numbers, the school is seeking to develop added housing for students.
