Past 21 years of B.B.I.

Dr. O.M. Samuel

A great volume of prayer has been ascended into heaven from the lips of some great men of God who lived in and around Pathanamthitta. As a result of the earnest prayers of many Saints 21 years ago this institute came to a reality. How true it is that this is the Lord's doing and it is marvelous in our eyes. When we look in to the past years of the ministry of this Bible Institute we could see how the miracle working God was doing wonderful things. All our needs were met according to the riches of His grace.

Of the 154 students who have graduated, 133 are in the full-time ministry, and most of the others are able to use their teaching skills in their local assemblies. Many of them are doing fruitful ministry in northern parts of India is a creditable fact. Those who are in Kerala also involved in different kinds of ministry.

Our God is a great God who only can do such great things. We could not do anything without abiding in Him. At present 39 students are preparing themselves to serve the Lord in the days to come. Among them 16 students are from northern parts of India. We are very glad about having them in the student body. A Bible centered curriculum is followed very strictly. We praise God for what He has done in the past. He also cares for us at the present. We rejoice in the fact that our future is in His hands. To reach to the goal we need the sincere support and prayers of the Saints. (May 2010)
