Finally!!

As I have mentioned before we have been working towards a formal recognition of Christ For The Nations Bible College by the province of BC. We have watched as the bill passed through several revisions and setbacks. We had prayed and felt the release of the Lord to pursue the bill in the first place and the faith to hold on through these last four plus years. As of late yesterday afternoon Royal assent was given and the bill became law. It establishes CFNBC as a college offering Bachelor's degrees in practical Theology.

Here is the transcript of the last bit of the process. Not a part of the process in the US, here the Queen's representative must give assent to all new laws. Here it is:
