Two Nazarene administrators were injured and one teacher killed in recent car accidents in Benin.

The teacher, Serge Sambieni, was on staff at Nazarene Theological Institute in West Africa. The Church of the Nazarene's national education coordinator for Benin, Felix Sambieni, was also in the car and was injured. In a separate accident, the assistant academic dean for the francophone countries of West Africa, Samuel Sogbegnon, was injured.  He is also from Benin.

"There have been great things happening with theological education in the Church of the Nazarene there," said missionary Paul Martin. "They are preparing for another big graduation there this month! Please pray for these injured leaders and for the grieving family of the deceased, as well as that theological education in Benin will continue to move forward."
