Hello all,

We just wrapped up the school year with a beautiful celebration. You’ll hear more from me soon, but I wanted to provide insight into what has recently taken place as well as an opportunity to join us in prayer.

If interested, check out the May 23rd, Commencement ceremony Livestream recording. A highlight to consider is the 30 minutes from 44:45 – 1 hr 14 min. where one of the Board members shares his story of incarnational ministry, which has been in the works for a long time inspiring a lot of what IBC is inspired to live out to reach the world for Christ.

The latest Indigenous Voices Journal was made public prior to graduation and also reflects the incarnational ministry focus. Click here to peruse this remarkable edition.

Also attached is the spring newsletter. IBC is holding a day of prayer and fasting on Monday, June 1st. Below is a list of ways to pray this summer.

Thankful for the prayer warriors that stand alongside IBC and for your partnership in ministry!

All for His glory,

IBC Prayer Guide for the Summer 2026

1. Pray for prospective students. Four new students are accepted for Fall; eight others have applications in progress.
2. Pray that we can buy one of the adjacent homes this summer so we can house our growing student body (i.e. that one homeowner would be willing to sell to us and that the Lord would provide the funding).
3. Pray for additional qualified personnel—board, staff, and faculty members.
4. Pray for financial provision for all the staff who are raising support (or are about to start).
5. Pray for the preparations for the overseas trips to France and Israel (both in June).
6. Pray for all the facilitators and participants of the 18 Native Mending the Soul groups (14 facilitator training groups) that operated this Spring; pray for provision for the ongoing training of additional facilitators.
7. Pray for wisdom for IBC in the strategic use of the Indigenous Voices Journal that was just released.
8. Pray for protection over the students as they begin the summer.
9. Pray for the staff, particularly for spiritual and emotional renewal over the summer.
10. Praise God for all His providence, protection, and provision over IBC’s 68 years!
