HE TIME FOR A CHANGE had come and was finally clarifying its arrival to the Christian \Q young people of America in the year 1970. It was time to start a one year Bible school where Christians could receive training in the Word of God. In 1969 the thought began formulating in Jack Wyrtzen's mind to train young people in the truths of the Bible. The ministries of Word of Life had, by this time, started to spread around the world and the call for such training was very evident. Finding a place to house students was not a problem. The Word of Life Ranch buildings were already winterized and just waiting to be filled. God had provided the place, but would the students come? In the first year of the Bible Institute there were a total of seventy-three students. This was twenty-three more than were expected. The second year they expected one hundred. God brought one hundred and twenty-six! Today over six hundred students live on the Word of Life Bible Institute campus, about one hundred of these being involved in the Institute's latest academic addition of a second year program. The uniqueness of the Institute is in offering a concentrated Bible study in one year. Credits transfer to many Christian colleges around the country. Emphasis is given to helping the young person gain a knowledge and understanding of God and His Word, a life of discipline and holiness, and a practical application of the Bible in active ministry for the glory of God. God has been most gracious in blessing His work at the Bible Institute. Over the years the number of young people who have gone on in service for the Lord because of the Institute will only be fully recognized as we get Heaven and realize what great things the Lord truly has done.
