by Nicette As a teenager I wanted to give my life for something. I wanted to be passionate about something and change the world. But I didn’t see God as someone to live and die for because I didn’t understand who He actually is. The Salvation message I heard as a kid was that Jesus died to save me from my sins and from …
The Islands will Look to Him
story from Amy, who co-led the BSN/BELT team to Nigeria, Zanzibar and Tanzania. We sat in blue plastic lawn chairs in the front of the concrete church building in Zanzibar, listening intently.

School of the Bible arrives in Shillong, India
by Dawn, School of the Bible leader Just a quick hello from Shillong! Our 1 1/2 day trip took 3 days, but we have finally arrived – safely, in pretty good health, and with all of our bags!

How I learned to relate with God
by Hallah, School of the Bible student I love to relate with people and I am really good at it! But for some reason, it has been very difficult for me to relate with God.

“I’m hoping for forgiveness,” he said.
by Hobbes, SOTB Staff I plopped down in the chair next to a young man.

I asked him why he was smiling. “It’s …
The Big Question
by Leah, SOTB student “Which of these domains do you see yourself working in?” our teacher asked, writing a list on the white board: government, education, economics, science and technology, arts and entertainment, media and communication, and family. I knew this question would come up, and I dreaded answering it. What if I’m wrong? What if it’s impossible? I hoped …
Leviticus–why read it?

Or I would just jump to …
