Exciting things are happening at IBI. God has truly blessed the efforts of the school. We've picked up new supporters, and of this writing have seven new students committed to come with one to interview as a potential student the latter part of this week. Students are used on a regular basis. Three students have begun new roles as pastors or missionaries since the summer break within the state. Two of our students feel that God is calling them to the foreign field. We are excited as we see God using these students to further His Kingdom work.
We also have new faculty on board to help with the course loads. They are Adam Johnson, David and Michael Pack and Pastor Tony Hansen. Brother Adam Johnson is our music and worship leader at LBC and holds a Ma. from Yale. He has completed all his course work for his Doctorate from Ball State in Performance Trombone. He is currently writing his disertation and will be teaching a course on music and worship. David and Michael Pack each possess a Master's Degree in Computer Software Engineering from George Mason University; a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science; and a Bachelor's Degree in Theology from Heritage Baptist Institute of Ministry. Pastor Hansen has his Bachelors of Theology from Missionary Baptist Seminary in Little Rock, Arkansas. Pastor Steve Maxie is returning as well this year to teach. I appreciate each of our faculty members who have dedicated themselves to equip those God has called into His kingdom work.
Classess begin on August 19th. Please continue to lift up the school in prayer. Financial contributions are also welcome. Perhaps you might consider a designated offering toward helping a student with the costs associated with attending IBI.
