Letter From the Editor
Dear Reader,
the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness.” We were once in darkness, destined for eternal separation from our Maker, but Love came down to earth in the form of a man. I do not know where you are as you read this. Maybe you have just graduated and are set ablaze with the gospel or maybe it’s years down the road and you’re reminiscing on your time at the Word of Life Bible Institute. But, wherever you are, I pray you look back at your time here as one where God did amazing things. I pray that you know that it was the gospel that made your time here so special. This is the only truth that matters. This is the only rock upon which we can rest our assurance. Jesus Christ came to save. He came to bring hope. Jesus came because He loves you.
It has been a year. Each of us has learned new things about ourselves, about others, and most importantly about our Creator. We have spent an entire academic year (and some of us two) studying the Word of God, surrounded by other like-minded individuals with the same purpose in mind: the gospel. This past year I have been given the task of putting together this yearbook. From the first days of the year, my team and I have had one purpose: To highlight a year of memories and to demonstrate why those memories are important. Many of us will leave Word of Life to work jobs in secular society, and some of us will go into full-time ministry, but wherever you end up once you leave this special place, I pray you will be able to look back and see how God worked. I pray you are reminded as you flip through this book of the fun memories, the laughs, the tears, the friends, but most importantly that you are reminded of the gospel. I pray that every page of this book weaves together a year that was driven by one story, one message, one Savior. The Creator of the universe came down to this earth to die for us. To die for me. And three days later He rose from the dead, defeating death and bringing life to those who place their trust in Him. You have had a year centered around this truth, the truth that Jesus loves me, this I know. You have been called to share this truth to all those around you, to preach this truth to others and to yourself everyday of your life. In John 12:46, Jesus says, “I have come into
