August 2024
Yesterday was my third annual neighborhood block party. God blessed us with a rain-free day (We’ve been experiencing a rather robust monsoon season!), though the wind was challenging. I was disappointed in the turnout but trust that God sent the 11 He desired. I had the opportunity to pray with one woman (with whom I’ve prayed before) and two people took Bibles. Please pray with me for lasting fruit despite such small visual results.
My focus at IBC this summer has been updating and reworking the Compliance Document for accreditation. After this upcoming site team visit in early 2025 and the completion of all the related documents we won’t need to concentrate on that for another 10 years. It has been three years since I traveled east but I agreed to stay in Flagstaff to work on the Compliance Document. This is the document that proves we are still in compliance with the standards of the accreditation board or are in the process of bringing things up to standard.
We’d appreciate your continued prayer for class preparations for fall and for compiling the documents necessary to retain our accreditation standing. Our annual staff retreat is coming up immediately after I take a week’s vacation in Cloudcroft, NM, August 1-7. Please pray for a profitable and unity-building staff retreat and restful vacation with my sister.
A second important prayer request from President Dr. Jason Koppen, “I have an urgent prayer request for you: Satan is once again doing his worst to keep new students from coming to IBC. Despite more time and money being invested in recruitment than ever before we only have THREE new full-time students accepted for Fall, two of whom have taken classes at IBC before. We DO have a lot of inquiries and prospects, however. Native churches and ministries are always asking for IBC graduates, but we must have new students in order for them to turn into graduates! Please pray for 10-15 new full-time students to join us on August 28th for New Student Orientation!”
Gratefully,
Martha
