WE ARE BACK — AND WE ARE GRATEFUL! 🙌🏽🔥

The first Sunday of the new session and term was nothing short of glorious!

What a joy it was to see our boys back home at BUMSEM! We gathered as one family to praise God, worship His holy name, lift our hearts in prayer, and partake of the Holy Communion at the Lord’s Table.

We have begun this new session not merely with plans and resolutions, but in the presence of God—committing our boys, our staff, and the entire school into His hands.

As the journey begins, we believe God for a session of divine direction, academic excellence, spiritual growth, discipline, character formation and outstanding achievements.

Celebrant: Revd. Obinna Afamefuna (Chaplain)
Preacher: Ven. Tochukwu Egwuatu (Principal)

May this session be a season where every life is touched, every potential is discovered, every character is strengthened, and every destiny is prepared for greatness.

WELCOME BACK, BUMSEM BOYS! 🎓🔥

BUMSEM — A place where lives are shaped and prepared for the future.

SHEPHERDS' GATHERING 2026 – A DIVINE ENCOUNTER
We were greatly privileged to sit under the anointed ministration of Rt. Revd Benson Chukwunweike, whom God used mightily to deliver His Word with power, clarity, and divine inspiration.
Through his ministry, hearts were stirred, faith was strengthened, and lives were impacted by the transforming presence of God.
Highlights of the Program:
✨ High Praises
✨ Intense Worship
✨ Spirit-filled Prayers
✨ Prophetic Declarations and Releases from the Men of God and Parents over the students

One of the most touching moments was seeing parents hold their sons closely, praying fervently and speaking words of prophecy, blessing, purpose, and destiny into their lives.

Hearts were poured out before God as families united in faith for the future of their children.
It was a gathering marked by divine encounters, renewed hope, and the tangible presence of God. Truly, the heavens were opened on our behalf, and we trust that the seeds sown in prayer will yield lasting fruits in the lives of our students.

BUMSEM — a place where boys are nurtured holistically, empowered intellectually, and grounded spiritually for a life of purpose and excellence.

"The boy Samuel continued to grow and to gain favour both with the Lord and with people" (1 Samuel 2:26)

EASTER RETREAT 2026 🌿
We are excited to share with you one of the most impactful spiritual moments in our school calendar — our Easter Retreat.

This special time is set aside for our students to reflect deeply on the meaning of Easter — the sacrifice, love, and victory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Through Bible study sessions, prayers, teachings, and fellowship, our students are nurtured spiritually and guided toward building strong Christian values.

We believe that education goes beyond the classroom, and this retreat is part of our commitment to raising not just academically sound students, but morally and spiritually grounded individuals.

🙏 May this Easter season bring renewal, hope, and transformation to us all.

A HISTORIC VICTORY – TO GOD BE THE GLORY! 🏆🥇
With immense gratitude to God and great joy in our hearts, we celebrate a historic achievement at the just concluded Inter-Seminary Games involving the Anglican Province of the Niger(Anambra State) and Province of Enugu
Our school recorded an outstanding performance:
🥇 17 Gold Medals
🥈 7 Silver Medals
🥉 4 Bronze Medals

This remarkable feat has broken the long-standing record in the history of the Inter-Seminary Games, as no seminary had ever achieved more than 10 gold medals before now.
By God’s grace, our boys have raised the bar with 17 Gold Medals, a milestone that will remain unforgettable in the history of these games.

This victory did not come easily. It was the result of discipline, perseverance, and relentless hard work.
These young men committed themselves to rigorous training — very early in the morning, under the scorching afternoon sun, and again in the evening.

There were moments when the task seemed overwhelming and the challenge appeared too great. Yet we refused to give up. Words of encouragement kept flowing, reminding the boys that they had the strength, the ability, and the determination to succeed. Together we kept pushing, training harder, believing that victory was possible.

We sincerely appreciate the Principal, Ven. Tochukwu Egwuatu, for his support, encouragement, and leadership throughout this journey.

A special appreciation goes to the Chaplain, Revd. Obinna Afamefuna, whose dedication and passion were instrumental to this success. He personally coached and trained the boys, constantly encouraging them and speaking into their hearts that they could achieve greatness. His tireless commitment, sacrifices, and fatherly encouragement inspired the boys to keep striving until victory was achieved.

Special thanks as well to the two football coaches whose services were engaged — Pst. Golden and Revd. Azubuike. Your expertise, dedication, and guidance contributed significantly to the successes recorded, particularly in the football events.

Our profound gratitude also goes to the Management of the School for their continuous support, encouragement, and belief in the vision of developing the boys both spiritually and physically.

Above all, we humbly dedicate this historic victory to our beloved Proprietor, the Rt. Revd. Ndubuisi Chukwuka Obi, whose fatherly leadership, vision, and commitment to excellence continue to inspire us. My Lord Bishop, this victory is dedicated to you with deep respect and gratitude.

Finally, to our gallant boys — you have made the school proud. Your discipline, resilience, and determination have written your names in the history of the Inter-Seminary Games. This victory proves that with hard work, faith, and perseverance, nothing is impossible.

To God alone be all the glory!
BUMSEM TO THE WORLD
