Capacity!

Driveway to the main entrance New Tribes Bible Institute, Waukesha, WI

It came upon us in a fury. We were searching for furniture and shuffling furniture from floor to floor desperately seeking to make room for an enrollment that climbed to maximum occupancy as the summer progressed. Even a few offices were cleared out to make room for more occupancy on the single dorm floor. Married apartments are all filled to capacity.

Classes have started at New Tribes Bible Institute. Housing and classroom sizes are all at their absolute maximums. It is exciting to consider the potential impact for missions this may have in years to come. Our prayer is that we will be up to the task of training them well.
