Awhile ago we asked people to pray for 45 students. We had 45 register on Friday September 8 (44 new students and one returning student who will graduate in December). On Saturday, the brother of one of our male students, who came up with his family, decided that instead of going home he should enroll as a student! He said that he hadn’t even thought of going to Bible school, but once he was here he knew that this is what he needed and what God wanted. That makes 46 students for this year. Thank you for praying, and praise the Lord God for answered prayer!

This is by far our biggest class of students, especially compared to last year when we had 25. These students come from all over and from many different backgrounds. We are excited to have our first two Albertans attending the school this year, one of which is a good friend of ours.

Dr. Wendell Calder is our keynote speaker for the weekend and guest lecturer for the first week of classes.

I have heard some interesting traveling stories.. two young men came from Nova Scotia in an old car that broke down several times and actually was rejected for a safety inspection two days before leaving! Thankfully, they and all the others traveling a long way made it.

Where they are from:
1 Brazil
1 Korea
2 United States
1 British Columbia
2 Alberta
2 New Brunswick
5 Nova Scotia
32 Ontario

In addition to the new students we had a couple of alumni from previous years drop by for a visit.
Nathan graduated only a few weeks ago, but he was back for a bit and stole my camera for a flattering self portrait

Laura was a student in our very first year (5 years ago!). She is showing us her new diamond ring!
