Greetings from Arizona,

We had a lot to celebrate this month as there were 4 Bachelors of Biblical Studies, 3 Associates of Biblical Studies, 5 Certificate of Biblical Studies and 2 Christian Ministry Certificate graduates (1 of which was the photographer) at the Indian Bible College commencement on May 20th.

A highlight is hearing from the Bachelors graduates as they provide the commencement speeches sharing how God has worked in their lives over the past number of years and what they’re thankful for as they take the next step in life as a transformed disciple of Jesus.

If you’re interested in watching the ceremony and/or hearing the graduate’s speeches here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0g82lYZkZHI and the time during the video when the graduates are speaking, about 6 minutes each:

Jerrylne 43:55 Pursuing bi-vocational ministry
Kelly 50:20 Pursuing her Masters Degree; IBC staff in the Learning Resource Center/Library
Terrence 1:12:00 Hired this summer as the Program Director at Broken Arrow Bible Ranch
Cecilia 1:18:50 Pursuing her Bachelors Degree at NAU to be a History Educator

I have had the privilege of teaching all of the students in the above photo as well as to assist them in the pursuit of Federal Student Aid through a Pell Grant.

In addition, it was a special day to celebrate Skie (photo above) as she worked very hard over the past few years to earn her Christian Ministry Certificate. I’ve served as her Life Coach for several years. Truly a proud moment to celebrate what God is doing in her life!

Please pray:

  • for the graduates and their futures as they serve the Lord
  • for all of the students as they engage with summer work and ministry
  • for IBC to have 15 new students for the fall semester (4 have already been accepted)

 

God bless you,
Linda
