Mr. & Mrs. Bible Institute We met each other in February, 1968, at a Word of Life Bible Club in Chattanooga, Tennessee, which was a ministry of Tennessee Temple University. During the summers of 1968 and 1969 we worked together in the STC program at The Island. On May 22, 1970, we were married. We heard that Word of Life was starting a Bible Institute in September 1970, so we both applied and were accepted for the first class. In October, we were voted in as the class president (Mark) and class treasurer (Betty). It was enjoyable to plug into the program and all the activities the school had to offer. In May of 1971 the class voted us Mr. & Mrs. Word of Life Bible Institute. We accepted this trust and were honored to serve, represent the school, and give back all we could with our testimonies and time. In 1972, after serving as the business manager of the Bible Institute, Ranch, Ranger Camp, and Snowcamp, we moved back to Chattanooga. Mark started a construction business in the area. As the years went on, the Lord blessed our lives with 4 children (all grown and married) and 13 grandchildren. Other family members are also Word of Life Bible Institute alumni: Mark’s sister Dorothy Caye Cabeen Mitin (’71), our daughter, Mary Anna Cabeen Coleman (’97), her husband, Chris Colman (’88) and our daughter- in-law, Lynette Agee Cabeen (’92). We currently live in Ringgold, Georgia, and are members of Woodland Park Baptist Church in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
