NBBI COVID-19 Update
Saturday, April 11, 2020
This update is in regards to our Spring Conference and Commencement for 2020. We have tried to hold o on making a finalized decision on these two events as long as we could. The reason for this was two-fold. First, it is such a critical time for our students and we were hesitant to make a final decision to suspend it. Second, this is our 75th anniversary, and we were not anxious to give up on the chance to celebrate this milestone at our conference and graduation. Although these two things remain very important to us, it is clear that both events cannot take place. We continue to look to the Lord and move ahead in His timing and in a way that keeps us in the centre of His will.
Our students are so important to us and we appreciate each one of them and are glad for the work that God is doing in their lives. We encourage each of you to continue to trust in the Lord and allow Him to do whatever refining work He needs to do in our lives (Ps. 18:30). We also wanted to let you know that we have tentatively rescheduled our Commencement for Satur-
day, September 19, 2020.
Please mark this date on your calendar and strongly consider joining us. This date was carefully chosen because students that are still enrolled in studies will already be on campus and 4th year students will be just completing their first week of studies with us. This gives us the best opportunity to take advantage of having everybody together. We will be encouraging family and friends to come and our desire is to make it a special day. Many details need to be worked out but we wanted to give you the date so you could set it aside.
Our God is good and these troubling times have not caught Him o guard nor are they out of His control. Let's keep moving forward together.
