THE BIOLA FELLOWSHIP The B i o l a Fellowship consists o f those who desire to be faithful stewards in the ministry o f the Bible Institute o f Los Angeles. This stewardship, in dependence upon God, is a step o f faith, indicating a sincere desire to contribute regularly to the GENERAL, RADIO , or MISSIONARY funds o f the school. This large and diversified ministry o f the Bible Institute o f Los Angeles is not endowed. Rather, our entire depend ence is upon the Lord, and we look to His stewards for their support. You, too, can be a worker together with us in this great fellowship. Our Field Department will, upon request, mail monthly envelopes to facilitate giving.
