Dear Friend:

New Brunswick

Bible institute god’s purpose our passion

“NBBI is making a difference in people’s lives and I know that because my life is one that was changed. I don’t know where I would be if God had not led me to this school. I am so thankful for this school, you are my family.” These words were spoken to me by one of our students this past year. As I thought about this student’s statement, I was reminded that, in spite of all we are accomplishing, THERE’S MORE TO DO. As I think about our 2014-2015 school year, I am thrilled about all that God did. We truly saw the Lord do some amazing things on our campus and in our student’s lives. From the time students set foot on our campus in September until the end of April they have spent up to 22,800 minutes in the classroom in the course of one school year. That amounts to 456 classes with each class lasting 50 minutes. Weekly, they have been involved in ministry opportunities in conjunction with local churches. Approximately half of our students were involved in missions’ trips to either Texas (camping ministry) or New York City (street evangelism). Students helped host approximately 1,800 guests for our many conferences which included Kids’ Quest, College for a Day, Ladies’ Retreat, Men’s Conference, Teen Retreats and Spring Conference. We saw over 50 people trust Christ on our campus this past school year. God has truly blessed! On top of the impact the ministry of NBBI had in the lives of our students and many guests, we were also able to complete our Waste Treatment Project which cost $240,000, take down Faith Hall last summer and, Lord Willing, we will have a new Resource Centre/Library by the start of our 2015-2016 school year. Unfortunately, after eight months of exciting ministry, the summer months hit and resources tend to dry up. Ministry continues as we host a Vacation with a Vision program and staff are speaking in churches and camps. The summer months prove lean as revenue streams dry up. It is very difficult to come to September already lagging behind financially. We have been riding a wave of momentum and have seen God blessing and we need your help to see us through this summer and in to, what we know is going to be, another great school year. We are asking you to help us get through these next months and enter the upcoming school year financially stable. Would you be willing to give a gift to help us raise an additional $75,000 to meet the demands of current summer expenses? NBBI is crucial in these days as Christian workers are needed like never before. There is certainly MORE TO DO! Would you consider helping us move forward for the glory of God? Please continue to pray for this ministry and thank you for being one of our faithful friends. For God’s glory and by His grace,

Matthew Little President
