God is working behind the scenes to accomplish His purpose. Nothing occurs in our lives by randomness or chance. Seemingly small and insignificant decisions serve His purpose for our lives. We think nothing of day-to-day encounters, so-called accidents of history, but God uses ordinary events to advance His purpose.

Dear friends,
 
My friends Ken and Ruthann Wells with Saints Bible Institute in Italy wanted me to pass this information along to you about a study abroad opportunity.  It was sent in HTML format with pictures and graphics, which I have stripped out to get it through my list server.  So it was fancier than this!  (Please pardon the formatting, too!)
 
You can get the full information on their web site at: http://www.saintsbibleinstitute.org/home.htm
 
Blessings,

P.S. There is new stuff on my blog at http://www.VirginiaKnowles.blogspot.com.

STUDY the BIBLE in ITALY
SAINTS BIBLE INSTITUTE
San Lorenzo, ITALIA

Saints Bible Institute exists to provide a life-immersion experience for Christian students. Our commitment is to transmit a biblical view of God, a passion for the lost, and a love for the church-all in the context of a practical missions experience involving church-planting and evangelism. Students come away with an understanding of the work of church-planting, the techniques of practical evangelism, and at least eighteen semester hours of college credit.  Classes are accredited by Liberty University. 

Study the Bible in Italy for a semester at Saints Bible Institute, an Evangelical Bible school.  Imagine waking up every morning surrounded by sky-scraping alps and quiet country vineyards. The Saints Bible Institute Center is a 200-year-old farmhouse converted into a modern residence and educational facility. The Center is located in San Lorenzo, Italy, about 40 minutes north of Venice.

READ WHAT SOME OF OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING

Emily: The past 90 days were amazing.  They have helped me grow and find my faith. I now understand why I believe what I do.   SBI has helped me see how I view GOD. I also now realize that I need to be able to understand and articulate my faith better, this semester abroad has confirmed my desire and need to continue my education.
                         
Joe: Being at SBI has been the greatest learning and growing experience of my life. An unbelievable blessing, life changing. It has given me greater focus for my future, which is full-time service for the LORD.

Elizabeth: While everything about my semester at Saints Bible Institute- the traveling, culture, classes and friends- was beyond what I ever expected, I think the most valuable thing God gave me through SBI was a new way of seeing and thinking about Him. More specifically, SBI stressed how vital it is to have a biblical, right view of God, as each of the classes and ministry opportunities challenged me to re-examine what I believe about God and his Word and why. There was such a thrill in being immersed in the Bible as I never had before, digging into it with serious intent to discover the richness its Truth for myself. Even more significantly, as an application of how my faith should impact my life, the learning extended to the streets and piazzas where I got to observe and participate in local mission work. Even after being back in the US a couple months, I am continually surprised at how the things I learned last semester are influencing my thinking and conversations with others. God used SBI in my life to help me establish a stronger foundation for my faith, to let me see Him working around the world, and to draw me close to Him as I was surrounded by incredible teaching, encouragement and community. I am so very thankful for God's grace in my life and the time I was able to spend in Italy at Saints' Bible Institute. 

While study abroad program prices are increasing, we have been able to maintain ours at $7,000.00 a semester, which includes, room and board, tuition and class travel, because our program is a ministry of Saints Equipped to Evangelize.  Our professors are on staff at Bryan collage, Moody college and S.B.I.  Class study trips will include Florence, Rome, and Pompeii as part of the program at no extra cost
