A Note from Brian
An important part of the life of a believer involved in ministry is rest. As your student returns home for Spring Break, they will need some rest. They have served well over the last several weeks. I want you to know how incredibly proud I am of them. They have represented you well, Word of Life Bible Institute well, and most importantly, Christ well. To God be the glory!
