Introducing the SCHOOL OF BIBLICAL STUDIES 2012!
On March 19, 2012 the SBS officially started! We have eleven wonderful students that are teachable and hungry for the word of God! We have people from Korea, New York, Nebraska, California, Washington and all over the place. As we welcomed the school we had a dinner for them. Here are a few pictures, notice the Biblical motifs. It was a fun game to see how many they could see through dinner.
How many loaves of bread do you see? Yes that's right there are five, sound familiar?
Yes our names are on scrolls. Yes, those are palm leaves. Yes, those are fish. Yes, those are stones. Yes, that is fire. Yes, those are red napkins. Are you embarrassed that we are such nerds or impressed that we can find so many lame Biblical Motifs at dinner. Yes, this was the ultimate example of being a Bible nerd! Yes, that is a manna chandler. Impressive I know!

What God has said about this year!
We are anticipating what God is wanting to do this year. We felt God say that he is emphasizing Identity to this school. That he is going to build staff and students beliefs through His word and that is going to refine character and it is going to impact lives and nations. He gave us a picture of a tree.
Isaiah 61:3b "...that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified."
Please pray for us and the school that through our continual study of the Word that we would be rooted and grounded in His Word and that through our understanding of the Identity that we have in Christ it would have an impact.
