We
began our first classes in August 1985 and have graduated
130 students, 35 have continued their studies at colleges
and seminaries. The IBI program in our church increased
membership and financial support.

E. S. Singletary, Pastor
New Life Christian Church San Bernardino, California
In 1979 we
were just starting a ministry that God had laid upon our
shoulders and were asking the Lord's guidance as to how
we can reach more with the gospel. By God's providence,
He brought IBI to us. In nineteen years we have graduated
363 men and women. The greater majority of these are in
active ministry. What is almost unbelievable is that so
many of our graduates are now pastors of great and big congregations
reaching thousands in every corner of the Philippines. Some
are missionaries or pastors in Thailand, Malaysia, China, Tibet, Israel,
Kuwait, Bahrain, Alaska, Las Vegas, and Salt Lake City.

I'd just like to write and let you know what a blessing
your Institute has been to us. We had considered starting
a Bible Institute for years and your material and help has
made it a possibility. This next year we will graduate our
first class. We have seen additions to our church family
as a result of our institute as students have begun coming
to our church because of the Bible Institute we have provided.
The students have been excited by the quality Bible training
they have received in exchange for VERY economical costs.
We even had one of our students receive transfer credits
from our institute towards his pursuit of a seminary degree.
Thank you for your help and great biblical material.

David R. Short, Associate Pastor
Grace Baptist Church Brunswick, Ohio
The following is a quote from Kay
Arthur, nationally known speaker, author and head of Precept
Ministries. "I'm finding an alarming trend in the church
today throughout our nation of the departure from the Word
of God." The one thing which compelled us to choose IBI
as our tool of discipleship for the equipping of the saints
is that it is centered, focused and founded in and on the
Word of God. Our students are developing a hunger and passion
for the Bible they've never known before.
