Intensive Training 

On Friday, we held an "Intensive Training," a one-day opportunity we offer for continual training. We always have multiple sessions/subjects for those on deputation, furlough, or internships. Grateful to those who came and those who taught. We will likely hold one more later in the fall time if you are interested.

Final 2 of the Semester!

Below is the list of the final two Missions Classes -- please join us if you are anywhere close. Classes are held on campus from 9-12 on Fridays. The teachers, topics, and dates are listed below. 

Representing VBM

A special thanks to Blaine & Holly Hooper for representing VBM at a Pastor's Conference in SC.

Erasmus Lounge

On Sunday night, John Pearson held a meeting with the students to explain the life of Erasmus in our recently-established "Erasmus Lounge."

Reentry Meeting

Last week we held a reentry meeting with Paul & Amber. I am grateful what God has used them to do, and it's always great to catch up with missionaries for a reentry meeting.
