Here’s My Chance …

September 30, 2023

A few weeks ago, at church, our pastor encouraged us to look for opportunities that scream, Here’s My Chance … to serve HIM! We have been doing just that and HE is showing Himself faithful. God recently gave us three opportunities to serve Him in different ways than how we normally serve here at the […]

Kickoff … Fall 2023

August 28, 2023

It is hard to imagine that Jared and I are starting our 15th year here at the BI! Registration and Orientation went well but the highlight of it all was gathering together with – staff families, returning students, new students with parents, and interns – to worship HIM, to look to HIM in this new […]

In The Small Stuff …

July 31, 2023

Recently I was gifted a devotional book – God Is in the Small Stuff and It All Matters by Bruce & Stan – from my older sister and decided to “check it out”. It’s a simple read but has reminded me that I need to see God in the everyday, mundane things. I need to […]

Too Many Hats …

June 29, 2023

Summer is always a busy time for Jared and the maintenance department. They all wear many hats in their ministry of service and this summer is proving to be no different than in past years. Jared has worn the “supply-buyer” hat quite a bit this year and now, with summer projects, those trips to the […]

Another Good-bye …

May 31, 2023

Congratulations to the graduating students of Spring 2023! This year we graduated four young ladies from my evangelism girl’s group and four MK’s from Paraguay. The four from Paraguay, are actually grandchildren of former co-workers! Needless to say, it was pretty exciting for us because we were also able to reconnect with those co-workers from […]

Privileged to Serve Family …

April 30, 2023

As Jared and I looked at the month of April, we saw that the Lord was giving us an opportunity to serve our family. Heather was entering the “home stretch” in earning her Master’s degree in Educational Leadership and there was a need for help in caring for the kiddos. Would we come? Absolutely! The […]

Celebrating PI (pie) Day …

March 17, 2023

Life on campus at the bible school is not all work. There is a mid-morning “break time” in the dining hall where staff and interns can get a snack or a drink. We can also take a minute to visit with someone from a different department whom we may not always rub shoulders with. Although […]

Pursuing Love …

February 16, 2023

A devotional book that has been so encouraging to me over the past few years is, Blessings, by Laura Story. The “nuggets” that God has allowed me to glean are priceless! Check out the two nuggets that have spoken to my heart in these days, in this season! Nugget #1 – “God’s love is a […]

In His Might …

January 28, 2023

Semester Kickoffs with staff and students—pizza party—are now a thing of the past but the message of Ephesians 6 has stuck with me. Our new school director, Andrew Royer, shared about being strong “in His might”. He talked about the sword of the Spirit—the Word – and having a prayer life that is real. In […]

Deck the Halls … Once Again …

December 2, 2022

It’s always fun getting to know our students outside of the classroom and “decking the halls” for the holidays is just another way to do that! Jared and I have been a part of this activity since we came in 2009 and it is always a “memory maker”. This year, Chris Darland, our Dean of […]
