Mamarapha College celebrates 2024 graduation and record attendance

Mamarapha College celebrated its 2024 graduation on November 16, recognising the achievements of 18 students under the theme “More Than Enough.” The event marked a year of record attendance at the college and highlighted the students’ hard work and commitment.

“We are proud of our students at Mamarapha College and are glad they can see how much we appreciate all they have done and achieved this year,” said James London, Mamarapha College principal.

Among the graduates were Henry Dunn, who completed an Advanced Diploma in Pastoral Ministry, and Dion Williams, who earned an Advanced Diploma in Indigenous Ministry. Speakers at the ceremony encouraged graduates to embrace their calling and trust in God’s guidance. Pastor Brad Thomas, Western Australian Conference secretary, urged the students to allow God to use them in His work, while Pastor Ken Vogel, founder of Mamarapha College, reminded them in his graduation charge to worship, trust and serve God because “He is more than enough.”

Mr Dunn shared how his time at Mamarapha College shaped his journey. Originally attending to deepen his understanding of the Bible, he felt called to pursue church ministry and has worked for the Greater Sydney Conference for six years. “This place moulded me into the person I am today,” said Mr Dunn. “It has become a part of my identity.”

Students described Mamarapha College as a place of healing and community, where many find a second family among their peers and teachers.
