Henry Krabbendam

Dr. Henry Krabbendam earned his BA in 1954 and his M.Div. in 1959 from the Theological University in the Netherlands. From 1960 through 1969, he pastored several congregations in the Canadian Reformed and Orthodox Presbyterian Churches. During this time, he earned his Th.M. in Systematic Theology (1962) and his Th.D. in Apologetics (1969) from Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. Dr. Krabbendam then became a professor in the department of Biblical Studies at Covenant College in 1973. Even though he retied in 2005, he is still active as a Professor emeritus at the College. He has served on the Advisory Board of The International Council of Biblical Inerrancy, the Steering Committee of the Congress on Revival and Reformation, and as a member of the Evangelical Theological Society. He co-founded the Africa Christian Training Institute (ACTI) in Kampala, Uganda as a result of a life long dedication to spreading the gospel. He says that there have been nearly one million conversions in the last 10 years in Uganda. He has also served on a variety of missions, including outreaches to Ireland, Kenya, Korea, Uganda, Australia, and the Seychelles.

Scott & Faith Sheffer

Scott Sheffer and his family have been ministering to the people in Uganda, Africa, particularly the Garuga community since 2006. Originally, he brought a diaconate ministry to help with the building projects for the African Bible College. Currently, he is involved with the Vocational Training Institute/Open Hands Ministry, which reaches the people with the Gospel as he uses his nearly thirty years of building to teach vocational skills to the men of the community. Since the men have been involved in various building projects, Scott’s diaconal ministry has been a valuable outreach for the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Uganda. In addition to teaching vocational skills, Scott has been teaching the diaconate, assisting with church planting efforts, and being involved in a medical ministry after receiving a large quantity of medical supplies. The most recent church planting endeavor has been in Lubugumu, an area dominated by Muslim extremists.
