Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! We are starting our second year at New Tribes Bible Institute. It is nice to start this year able to recognize many of the returning faces. And we praise the Lord for the 70 new students enrolled this fall. One is a young men Ken knew from years ago at his home church in Perris, CA. Another returning student reported that she had taken Ken’s advice to explain to her home church that her enrollment here was in preparation for missionary service overseas—and as a result they have begun partnering with her financially. Although most are American or Canadian, a few of the new students are from England, Haiti, Belgium, or were raised as missionary kids in Venezuela and Guinea. The six Korean students are taking a special semester to improve their English skills before going on to the Missionary Training Center.
Seven couples and 42 single students graduated in May with an Associate’s Degree in Biblical Studies. Several intend to go as missionaries to Cambodia after completing the remaining New Tribes Missionary train-ing. We were all challenged by their senior class projects which raised over $5000 to buy books for the local prison ministry and for the newly-opened field of Cambodia. They chose as their motto a quote by John Keith Falconer, “I have but one candle to burn, and I would rather burn it out in a land filled with darkness than in a land flooded with light.”
(FYI – Students must be debt-free to graduate. Single students pay a little under $4000 per semester for tuition, board and fees. A self-supported staff help to keep tuition down to get new missionaries overseas faster.)
