This past April 24th we graduated the class of 2011 at VBCI. It was my first year as Dean and I was pleased with the students this year. We had a great class from Thailand, Burma, India, Philippines, Nepal and Canada. The students were hardworking and overall very good students. For me it was also very important as my wife and sister-in laws and brother-in law finished their first year. This year is a time of rememberance for me and I was very proud of my family. When we look at a place of rememberance I am reminded of the children of Israel as they crossed the Jordon river. In Joshua chapter four God commanded Joshua to take twelve stones out of the Jordan and put them on the victory side of the Jordan as a lasting memory of what happened the day they crossed the Jordan. This year is something I will always remember. I was honored to give the students the CHARGE as some of them will now move on back to their churches and a couple of them into ministry. I now look forward to next year as we welcome some new students to VBCI.
