Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I am a first year student and I must say that this school is nothing like I anticipated; it is much, much more.  The bible comes alive because the Spirit of God is always there in the midst of us.

First of all I would like to thank God for my father in the Lord, Pastor Brown because he is a disciple indeed and faithful servant, and father in the Lord

I often prayed, God I want to come closer to you.  At River Bible Institute you hear the word every day.  It’s not just hearing it, when the word falls on good ground, it will produce fruit.  We are put to work to bring in the harvest of souls, and help the poor.  I was pressed and sometimes I actually wondered if I would really make it because I felt so inadequate, but the more I pressed and asked God to help me, He kept showing up.  All of the teachers teach the word with power, and give assignments that will make you fall on your knees for help and cause you to dig deeper in the word for answers from the only one that can help you, God.  The seed was sow and planted deep in my heart.  Even when I felt like giving up, I couldn’t.  I asked God to anoint my ears because I want to hear, understand and take heed to His word.  I love reading books, but I had stopped reading like I had in the past, now every semester we have books to read.  We have five books to read in this semester.  It is challenging, but very rewarding.

If you have ear to hear you will grow, because faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God which is full of power.  The opportunities at RBI are endless, and you are not held back.
