This is the educational wing of HCMI. Its principal engagements shall be the educational up-lifting of the nation of Liberia. This arm of HCMI is responsible for sensitization, creation of awareness and educating the entire Liberian public irrespective of creed and background. It shall address all issues of education. Its occupations in addition to providing educational certification for academic pursuits shall in addition pay greater attention to the development of practicable and useable skill. In this connection it shall not concentrate only on the regular school curriculums which up till this present have been in use and which has for the most part been oriented towards the production of certificate holders. It shall in addition, be involved with the development and use of inherent skills and talents. Its intentions are to provide valuable training for everyone the old, the young, the bright the dull, the sharp the sluggish, males and females.

Education is the pillars that provides the skills needed for a strong and progressive nation. To advance in life there is need to be informed. Thus by educating and having the nation informed, HCMI would build up the foundation of the nation.

Drawing inspiration from that which is recommended by the Scriptures in Deuteronomy 6:   where we are told: “Your children shall be taught by Jehovah…”

The works of the educational Pillar of HCMI shall radiate from schools and formation centers that shall be called –HOSANNA CHRISTIAN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL , at all Stations all over Liberia, where HCMI shall under take, a training and educational program, including its Headquarters at Buchanan.

Like the Bible says, HCMI believes that to each and every

one of his children God gave a talent. HCMI’s educational arm is therefore oriented to helping the Liberian nation as a people and as individuals to discover their potentials and put them into good and meaningful use.

APPROACH TO THE EAP
The EAP shall approach its mission from a variety of fronts. This would include:

1.  Regular and conventional education programs like:
2. General certificate education.

In Hosea 4:6 we are told that my people are perishing for lack of knowledge. We are further told in Ecclesiastes 10:15 that the foolish can not get anything for their labor because they do not know the way to the city.

In using a Variety of approaches in its education and awareness program, HCMI aims at creating and presenting diversified roads for Liberians to get to the city. It aims at presenting different high ways, means of transport and cost of transportation to reach the city. It wants for no Liberian to lack behind and perish in ignorance and lack of knowledge under the pretext of not knowing the road to the city.

SUCCESS CRITERIA OF EAP
Come to me all ye that labor and I will give thee rest. Liberia and Liberians have languished for long in ignorance and illiteracy. This has constituted a heavy weight on their necks. This has constituted a blockage to their reaching the city. Liberians have for a long while been itchy to get to the city but there has seemingly been few and very expensive roads that only the well-to-do could afford. With her multi-path orientation, considering also that its teachings shall be God centered, HCMI stands to make great success in its EAP. HCMI has the confidence that the entire nation would accept to exchange ignorance and stagnation for sensitization, awareness, education and training that comes with progress and advancement.

 PROBLEMS AND RISK ASSOCIATED WITH EAP
Amongst the most likely problems and risks that the EAP may encounter in the course of it mission are:

1. Initial difficulties of reaching out to the masses in several localities.
2. Initial difficulties of getting the masses to accept the value of education.
3. Difficulties of getting mature and disoriented mind into school.
4. Insufficient skilled personnel that share EAP’s vision.
5. Infrastructures and other material aids
6. Sufficient funds to run diverse educational programs
7. Backward ideologies and mentalities that came with the incidence of the war.
8. Insufficient fund to meet up tuition by most students.
   

With praise and adoration, and trusting in God’s leading HCMI will achieve her EAP assignment with ease because Jesus had promised his followers to: Fear not, little flock, for it is your father good pleasure to give you the kingdom (Luck 12:32)
