Yesterday was another great day of ministry. Greg continues to teach through his material on Angelology and today we will make the switch to me teaching on Soteriology. We had the opportunity to visit New Beginnings Boys’ Home yesterday. I am excited to write to you about the Boys’ and Girls’ homes tomorrow.
Today I wanted to spend a bit of time writing about Puebla Bible Seminary (Seminario Bíblico de Puebla or SBP). The seminary was started in 1959 by the first director and founder Lorenzo E. Simpson, who helped 4 missionary couples begin the work of the institution. The forming of the seminary was also helped by CAM International (later Camino Global, now under Avant Ministries), and the institute was started to bring solid Bible college education to nationals who were coming to Christ and becoming a part of Evangelical churches in Mexico. Throughout its history the seminary has stood firmly on God’s Word and conservative Biblical theology. Currently the school offers multiple programs, including: an evening Bible Diploma program, Saturday Seminary in three locations, a Music school, an online Bible Diploma, a four year BA in Theology, and also a Masters degree in cooperation with Dallas Theological Seminary.
Amber and I have had multiple opportunities to serve here over the last six years with our friends the Bults and we are always amazed at how much God is doing through the faithful work of the staff and faculty of SBP. In fact, Greg has remarked at how much activity is constantly going on. Whether morning, noon or night, there is almost always a class or function that is pointed at the education of students and the glory of God. And what is so encouraging is that this is not just a one man show; we have seen staff, faculty and students participating at every level. No one is left out, and all are encouraged to move forward in their own discipleship so they can teach others!
God has certainly blessed this institution in its 60 year existence and He seems to be showing that there is much more to be done here in the coming years. Would you please take a moment today and pray for Puebla Bible Seminary?
