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!   Latest News    New York  Next Steps Seminar: On Wedn... READ MORE

A Note from Brian It’s Snowcamp and Pursuit Camp season – one of my favorite times of the year! Every weekend, we welcome hundreds of teenage campers to our campuses and our students (your children) amazingly lead them. We are seeing hundreds of teens take their next steps with Jesus. During these busy seven weeks, our students must get plenty of rest. As you communicate with your Bible Institute student, we would love your collaboration in encouraging them to get adequate sleep and not ... READ MORE

Please be praying as we look to min... READ MORE

A Note from Brian  In our Quiet Time, we have recently been in 1 John. Chapter four reminds us we can love because God first loved us. One of the joys of being at the Bible Institute is the relationships students build here. These relationships turn into opportunities to live out 1 John. It has been my privilege to watch students live this out. We pray for and encourage growth in this area, and we would encourage you as parents to do the same. Loving others is not always easy, but it is... READ MORE

A Note from Brian  I have enjoyed spending time on both of our campuses (New York and Florida) over the last couple of weeks, and it is evident that our students have adjusted well to life here at the Bible Institute! I am encouraged by their enthusiasm and eagerness to learn, grow, and serve. I am reminded of two verses we read recently in our Quiet Time.    “That which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed... READ MORE

A Note from Brian  The new year is off to a great start at our Florida and New York campuses. The energy and excitement on both campuses is tremendous. We are praying for your student as they adjust to classes and the schedule here at Word of Life.   We finished reading through Colossians in our quiet time last week, where I was reminded in chapter three to set our minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. This will be a great year of growth and chang... READ MORE
