PRAYER REQUEST
Warm greetings in the matchless name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!History
testifies that great movements have had simple beginnings. This is our
humble observation about the Brethren Bible Institute, Pathanamthitta.
The persons who initiated the Gospel ministry in Pathanamthitta, way
back in the 50’s, were a team of young and old. However, there
was no generation gap between them because the youngsters were as much
spiritually mature as the elders were spiritually youthful. No wonder,
the ministry grew into the BBI, as we see it now, because of
God’s wonderful grace and the cooperation of the like minded
brethren.
To
cope up with the present needs, we are to find resources for further
expansion. The present physical facilities of the Bible College have to
be developed into a full fledged campus so that it can function more
efficiently and effectively. Hitherto, we have experienced the
Lord’s providing hand at every stage of improvement. The BBI
started in a rather small two storied building. Before long, the Lord
provided a three storied building for kitchen, dining hall and
dormitory. Eventually, two extensions to the main building met the need
of an office room and a room for the library. In addition to this, the
Lord provided a large meeting hall. With this, the small plot of land
is full of buildings and there is no scope for any further expansion.
In
the light of this situation, we have been praying for a new campus and
the Lord provided sufficient land to meet this purpose. The next step
is the construction of the minimum buildings which requires funds. As
usual, we are sharing this burden with our brothers and sisters in the
Lord. We covet your prayers and whole hearted support for this
venture.
