Sa nb orn The Board of Directors consists of a group of selected laymen and pastors who h a ve a vi sion to see, faith to b elieve, and courage to do. That's the rea– son we, as Di rec t ors, are in the midst of planning "great things" according to God's wi ll for the days ahead, for B .B.I. Our present Dormitory has already reached its quota of students. Hough Av enue Church has b een very gracious in t he use of their building, and we havB jus t ab out outgrown all the availab le space that can be spared. We, as Direc– tors, do see a real need for a building of our own so that we might truly launch out into the deep and let down our nets. We covet your earnest prayers as you, the Senior Class of 1951, move out into the field of service for our Lord a n d Saviour. May you b e used in an unusual way in the leading of many souls to Him, in bui lding up the saints, in spreading the Good News, the Glorious Gospel of Christ that sets men fr ee frolli s in a n d separates Christians from the things of the world. Trusting you h a ve learned the knowledge of Romans 8:28 and the confidence of Philippians 4:13 and 19, we b elieve you are "set for the defense of the Gospel." We, as Directors, are proud of you as you go forth in the fields of harvest for Him, skilled workmen that have been t aught to h andle God's Word led by the Holy Spirit. BOARD OF DIRECTORS George B .
