“To God Be The Glory, Great Things He Has Done,” is one of the lines from a familiar hymn. At the same time, it is the theme threaded throughout this week’s reports. The locations sending in reports this week emphasize the work being done is to the glory of our God. It is also exciting to read about the great things God is doing in each location.
The new students in Denver are settling into their routine of studies, and returning students are continuing their journey to serve in the Lord’s kingdom. Several of these families are eagerly anticipating their graduation in May when they will begin working with a number of congregations across the country. We are encouraged by the fact that most of the men who graduate in May have already secured a place to work. As they finish their last two quarters of study, they are preparing themselves to do a great work.
The reports from other locations in the extension program share news about God’s increase to the efforts of these students who are impacting the souls of many. We hope you are encouraged with the news of the souls saved through the preaching of the gospel.
PRAYER REQUEST: We ask each of you to pray for Kim Kasarjian. Kim is the wife of Keith Kasarjian, who serves as the new school development director for the Bear Valley Bible Institute Extension Program. Kim was initially diagnosed last Friday with acute Leukemia. She is scheduled to have a bone marrow biopsy this Tuesday to determine the nature of the diagnosis. We ask you to pray for God’s healing hand to be with her, as well as peace and comfort for Keith and their family.
