THE WHY BEHIND IT ALL
You might be thinking “Why the Bible Institute?” Today’s generation of students have so many options when planning what to do after high school graduation. But rather than blindly following what everyone else is doing, we want to make sure students are informed and make intentional decisions during this formative time in their lives. It’s true that almost three out of every five students who are young Christians eventually fall away from the church after the age of 15*. The statistics are scary, and they seem to keep getting scarier. That’s what all of us here at the Bible Institute work to keep from happening. We don’t just want students to retain their faith. We want them to build their own meaningful and lasting relationships with the Lord in order to lay a strong foundation of faith that will carry them through the rest of their lives. In many ways, sending your students to the Bible Institute extends your own ministry beyond your local neighborhood and community. You have already sown the seed of faith in these young ones, and now the Bible Institute can help you continue to grow these students and launch them out into the world for the glory of God. Students who complete the Word of Life Bible Institute program go on to reach outstanding achievements and become valuable contributing members of society, whether they stay on the mission field fulltime or pursue professional careers.
