“There is no way I could overstate the influence Word of Life Bible Institute has had on Bonnie’s and my lives. We came as high school sweethearts, fully intending to finish the year. Then I would head to Virginia for college to eventually become a math teacher and basketball coach. We graduated, with me heading to Michigan to get further education to serve in vocational ministry as a Pastor. The trajectory of our lives changed that year at Word of Life Bible Institute. Teaching your Sophomore class was a highlight of our year. It is a humbling privilege to be part of what God is doing in the lives of students and play a role like the professors our year did. It is fun to teach students eager to learn. It is rewarding to interact with students during breaks and meals, hearing their questions and listening to their dreams for how God will use them. This motivates us to remain faithful. Students, never lose the wonder of what God has in store for your lives. Never forget that a God who would provide for your forgiveness would never make a choice for your life that is not motivated by His love and desire for you to live the abundant life Jesus said He would provide. Though you might not be able to see it in the moment, remember, ‘Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.’ (Galatians 6:9) ”
