November 2017 Update

Our second Chronological School of Biblical Studies is well under way at YWAM Vancouver.

It has been quite a while since I have taken the time to post an update so a lot has happened. We concluded the school last year focusing on the New Testament for the last 3 months. YWAM Vancouver moved between quarters which brought a few short term difficulties but we are now enjoying having enough space for students and staff to do what we do.

During the summer the staff began preparing for the next school, some of the staff were involved in other ministry work and all of us spent some time raising support. I was blessed to have some short contract work to do on the side so I was away for a couple weeks and we did a couple of short family road trips as well.

We started this current school in late September and have just wrapped up the book of Joshua. We have 11 students again this year who are hopefully now getting past the feeling of being overwhelmed with work and settling into a routine. During the first month of the school there is a relatively steep learning curve as we teach through all of the steps of the inductive Bible study method we use. We will have our first guest speaker this week, Dr. Armerding, Professor Emeritus of Old Testament at Regent College here in Vancouver. He will be helping us study through the book of Judges.

Please pray that God would be working in the hearts and minds of these students as they study His Word. You can follow what is going on with the school with the weekly blog post and I will post another update here soon too.
