Prayer Update

Dear praying friends,

Praying is one of the most important things you can do for IBI. So, at the end of this academic year, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your regular and faithful prayer.

For praise:

  • We have brought many items before you during the course of this year but more recently much focus has been on our five-year or Quinquenial Review. I am delighted to tell you that IBI has successfully come through this review process and that we have approval to continue, expand and develop over the next five years. The expert panel was impressed by IBI and feels that what we offer here is special and unique amongst theological colleges.

  • We have had the privilege of teaching a terrific group of students and have witnessed growth not only in their knowledge of God but in their spiritual walk and ability to serve. Our final degree students have just gained an excellent set of results, including a first class, and we are absolutely delighted for them.

  • On Friday and Saturday 11-12 June we had a fantastic 2010 IBI Summer Institute with Scot Mc Knight. We had a full house on both days with brilliant teaching from Scot.

  • The Lord has blessed our recent fundraising effort and I am pleased to say that the anticipated €20,000 end-of-year deficit has diminished. Please continue to pray that we might break even at the end of the financial year (31 July).

For prayer:

Students


  • For our September graduates, please pray for the Lord’s blessing: that those going into full-time ministry would put all that they have learnt to good, fruitful use and that those who are not sure what the future holds as yet would know the Lord’s guidance as they make decisions.

  • Please pray for all the summer outreach activities, which our students are involved in and also that those who are returning would enjoy a time of refreshment and rest.
