September 2020
We are excited to be back at IBI for a new academic year. That is a great answer to our prayers.
Please give thanks to God with us for:
a great bunch of new first-year students from all over the country. Some students have been able to enrol this year because classes can be accessed remotely. We prayed for 10 new students - and they have turned up!
a very exciting return to IBI in-class teaching for 2nd/3rd years.
Please pray with us for:
Jonathan and Becky Schuster as they settle into their new life and ministry in Michigan. Jonathan started a new job as a senior pastor in the summer. We miss them greatly.
Marion and Karen, our new volunteer librarians. Pray they will get a good handle on the job
IBI's finances. Like every other charity and many businesses, we face a challenging year financially. We have seen God provide for us in so many amazing ways in the past, please pray that will be true again for this coming year.
the teaching staff as they adjust to the new situations the pandemic has created (including a move back to remote access this past week with the increased Covid-19 restrictions in Dublin); they have done an incredible job so far.
the staff team, that we will respond in the best ways to the changing situation. The team has done an amazing job to date; please pray for the stamina to keep on doing just that.
