Orientation Kickoff

We started orientation yesterday -- one of the best weeks of the year!! 

Our future is bright as the promises of God!!!

Board of Directors Meeting

Last Thursday  we held our spring BOD meeting. In the meeting, TJ Gabriel was nominated as the newest member, and brings so much to the table (his picture is attached below). I am grateful for his leadership currently at VSM, and I know he will be a blessing to the future of VBM as well.

These 6 men lead in the area of finances and accountability. They are a governing board that does not confront day-to-day operations of philosophy or Missioanry life, but they do serve to give us financial, legal, and practical advice on areas that are well outside of our wheelhouse. Praise the Lord for these men!

Bill & Terri Schneider Moved to GA!!!

Pastor Bill Schneider has moved from Maryland to be a full-time teacher at Vision School of Missions!!! So very grateful for what God is doing and building. Exciting days ahead for VSM & VBM. 

Final 3 -- Don't Miss Out!

This is better than the 2026 Men's NCAA basketball Final Four games that took place last week, and the championship that took place recently!!!

Below is the list of the final three Missions Classes. They are held on campus from 9-12 on Fridays. The teachers, topics, and dates are listed below.

8 Baptisms in Bolivia!

Congratulations to Kevin & Beth White on 8 baptisms in the 3rd church plant in Bolivia. What a wonderful way to celebrate the Resurrected Savior!!! 

Another Ordination in Chile!

Congratulations to Jason & Lori Holt on another ordination in the Chile ministry. Praise the Lord!

Another Pastor on Campus

We were blessed to have another pastor visit our beautiful campus last week. Not only do we love showing off what God has so graciously given us, but we love for pastors to see and get excited about what God is doing. There are so many wonderful things happening that are pointing to what God is preparing to do through VSM & VBM. Thank you for your service to the King!

Representing VBM

Though Pastor Bill & Mrs. Schneider just moved in last week, they are kind enough to attend and represent VBM & VSM at the yearly Georgia Statewide Preachers Fellowship. This is an extra blessing because all of us are currently at orientation and unable to attend. Thankful for Pastor Schneider's willingness to help!
