his predecessor, walks Todd through the day-to-day duties and details of his new position as Business Office Manager.\u00a0 This training will be ongoing throughout this semester and probably the rest of this year.\u00a0 So far, Todd has set up his new office, carried in more than 200 books and Bible study materials from our basement into his new office, is getting familiar with the school\u2019s computer system, set up his voicemail and ordered his business cards\u2026\u00a0 There is a lot to learn, and Todd has ended his first week encouraged and excited with his new ministry at the Bible School.<\/p>\n<p>Students are beginning to trickle in to the Bible School, but the first big influx will be on Thursday, January 13, when a group of upperclassmen return to be trained as student leaders.\u00a0 That next weekend, January 15 and 16, is Registration.\u00a0 This is when EVERYONE ELSE moves into the school.\u00a0 There will be approximately 175 students studying God\u2019s Word this semester!\u00a0 Of this number, 25-30 are new freshmen.\u00a0 You can pray that nothing happens to deter any of these students from getting to school.\u00a0 Please pray that each of them will have enough money to pay their tuition, that their travel arrangements will work out, that the weather will cooperate with their travels, and that they will be blessed and excited to be in Bible School studying God\u2019s Word!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-464\"

will be Married Ladies Advisor in the Student Life Department.\u00a0 She has been in and out of the Bible School this week, setting up her office, getting reacquainted with the computer system, setting up her voicemail, and reading through training and philosophy of ministry information.\u00a0 Things start up for her next week:\u00a0 team meetings start on Monday morning, January 10, and go through\u00a0the entire week.\u00a0 The first thing on the agenda for the Student Life team is to plan and implement student leader training.\u00a0 This will be Sue\u2019s first opportunity to get to know some of the students.\u00a0\u00a0 While that is going on, she will be greeting the married couples as they arrive, with the goal of getting to know the married ladies especially.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for praying for the students as they follow the Lord in coming to New Tribes Bible Institute to learn God\u2019s Word, the Bible.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"
