throwing the book(s) at 'em


Not a day to lose! SBFM hit the ground running today with two hours of issuing assignments and handing out piles of books and printed resources. Just when the over-stimulated, information saturated, glazed expression came into the eyes of our students, it was time to take a deep breath and get lunch.
There really is no other way to do it than hand them the syllabus and start throwing books at them, really. While it can be a little overwhelming for our students to get started with this intense three month course, I am happy to report that they are recovering nicely from the morning and are excited for their first study night.
As registrar and administrator, I hosted the student registration in the afternoon. I am excited to have discovered that there is a half dozen or so students hoping to participate in the outreach, which I will be leading. More on that subject in about two weeks!


The images of those who have gone before...to give students courage and assurance that they'll survive!!




I have been waiting for the semester to start for about six months- I am so amped to have finally begun! Praise the Lord for the opportunity to mentor these sixteen young people in establishing Biblical foundation in their lives and learning to effectively articulate their faith!
I love being a part of this outstanding ministry!
