A Note from Brian
Parents, welcome to The Bridge! I am excited about the 2024-2025 Bible Institute year, which is now just weeks away. We cannot wait to welcome your student(s) to our campus in either New York or Florida. I have been reading in my Quiet Time lately in the book of Daniel, and I am reminded of how faithful Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were amid much cultural opposition. In the world we live in today, it is crucial that our lives are built on a biblical foundation. Thank you for entrusting us with the opportunity to help your child build this foundation! We cannot wait to see what the Lord does this year!
At the beginning of the year, we start with a bi-weekly blog post to make you aware of key departments your students will be connecting with throughout the year. We give information on who they are, what they do, and how to contact them. Then, we will move to a monthly Bridge that will cover past events and inform you of upcoming events in the school year. Not only do we have a blog, but we also have a Facebook page to keep you informed and able to ask questions. If you have Facebook, you can request to join the group by answering the group questions and accepting the group rules. (FB group link)
Word of Life has two US campuses that are represented in this blog. We do our best to keep you informed of both locations.
