What an encouraging month May was! God opened doors for us to return mostly to normal just in time for us to end the Bible Institute year on a high note.
In these last few weeks we have been able to resume classroom instruction, we even had guest teachers come from the United States to teach in person. The students really enjoyed that as they had been stuck studying online since November.
On May 14-16 we had our annual Missions Conference, and while we did not have outside guests attending it was an amazing encouragement to have our staff and students together again after so long apart. God used this Conference and our guest speaker Kris Stout to challenge these young people to consider God’s call in their life to share the gospel around the world. 35 of our students dedicated their life to ministry and missions!
Reflecting on a difficult year, it was great to see how God used His Word to teach, inspire, and prepare these young people for life and ministry!
Here is how Khaled, one of our students from Greece, put it: “It’s amazing how your life can be changed in 1 year, how I’m not the same person I was before. There are ups and downs, but now I have seen things that I am capable of, but wasn’t doing before. I feel like evangelism is the fuel to the church to grow, and I feel I can go back and help my church do more evangelism.”
On May 29th we had our Bible Institute Graduation ceremony. It was great to rejoice together, celebrating what God has done this past year.
God is faithful, and this can best be seen as He takes us through challenges. Here’s a music video with an encouraging message that some of our staff and students put together back in the times when we couldn’t meet all in one place.
Please pray for our students as they serve God this summer in ministries around the world!
