We have come to the end of the first month of this new year. The start of this year has been exciting and promising for the months ahead. New classes have started and the number of students continues to grow throughout the program. We continue to count our blessings for the privilege of working together with the greatest men and women on earth.
The month ahead is going to be a busy month with a complete month of traveling to see congregations who are involved in supporting some area of the work. As well, we look forward to visiting with several from around the brotherhood at both the Freed-Hardeman and Affirming the Faith lectureships. This is a beautiful time to be with likeminded brethren and discuss the powerful word of God.
Over the next month plans will be completed for the beginning of the Asunción Bible Academy in Asunción, Paraguay. We look forward to sharing details of the opening in March, along with pictures of the first class and staff.
As the months of this year unfold there will be more exiting news to report as students complete their training and enter into the work of preaching the gospel. Several graduations are planned this year, beginning with the graduation of students in the North India Bible College in Chandigarh, India. We will have more to report on this in the next few weeks.
Now on to the other reports...
