I I was privileged enough to have grown up in a Christian home and at the age of five I knelt down beside my bed with my mother and accepted the Lord as my Savior. Unfortunately, as I began to get older, circumstances in my life drove me away from the principles with which I had grown up. My teenage years were a blur and just involved me doing whatever I saw fit. It took nothing less than an act of God to get me to come to the Bible Institute. When I arrived here last fall, I knew something was different. Everyone around me seemed to have a joy that I was missing out on. It didn’t take me long to see that I was missing out on an intimate relationship with the Lord through His Word. The process of change over the last year and a half has been immense, but it has been incredible to watch and experience the Lord, through His Word, completely change not only my behavior, but who I am as a person. Words like purity, integrity, faithfulness and devotion that once meant nothing to me, have now become things that I seek after for the glory of God.

I have grown so much in my walk with the Lord whether I have been sitting under some of the greatest lecturers in the world or just hanging out with friends who always strengthen me spiritually. Word of Life has done so much for me and I thank God with all of my heart for allowing me to come here and providing the finances. I couldn't have come here if it wasn’t for God and my family who each have supported me all the way. I appreciate Word of Life because it has given me a firm foundation for the future and a firm grounding in the Word of God." in a good, strong Christian home and thought that was enough, but I was wrong. After many bad decisions on my part, I wound up at Word of Life as a getaway from my lifestyle. I cannot even recognize the old me from 1st year at the Bl. I thought it was the best year I had ever had. The opportunity to get into the Word every day was life-changing. Now that I am in 2nd Year I can see and put into practice what I learned my first year and 2nd Year blows 1st Year out of the water.
