The Gospel Heralds music and youth ministry team are in their final week of tour. Thank you to all who have upheld them in prayer this summer.
What do Bible college professors do during the summer? These men from schools across the U.S. gathered at ABC for three days of the Bible Faculty Summit. Included in the speaker lineup was our own Dr. Pinter, who presented a paper, "Refutation of Saracens by M. Luther Then and Now."
During Alumni Homecoming, Oct. 12-13, ABC will welcome Dr. Les Ollila as our featured speaker.
Dr. Ollila is the director of Building Great Leaders, a ministry emphasizing servant leadership to pastors, churches, colleges, and other Christian ministries both in the U.S. and overseas.
In his own words, “Leadership is not lordship, but servitude.” Dr. Ollila and his wife Charlene have modeled this truth throughout their ministry, and we look forward to hearing from this man who must surely be noted as one of those “Servants Who Please Him.”

The synagogue at Capernaum, the site of Jesus' teaching in Mark 1, was one of several stops Dr. John Rinehart made in the Holy Land last month.

Praise God: over 230 people heard the good news as a result. #ABCsummermissions

Student Body President Jansen Lorch (right) received the gavel from last year's president Peter Tucker and is set to lead the 2017-18 Student Council. A junior from Lapeer, Michigan, Jansen is double majoring in Bible/Theology and Missions.
Jansen says, "As Student Body President and servant of Christ, I desire to assist and encourage the training, growth, and spiritual maturity of ABC students as we fervently pursue a biblical foundation for our lives of service in local churches and abroad."
Summer break gave Abigail the chance to complete her CNA training—a step toward graduating from the Missions-Nursing Ministry Major and serving the Lord in medical missions. A junior from Illinois, Abigail requests prayer that God will provide employment when she returns to West Virginia this month, in order to keep her license.
Laying a new sidewalk to McCarrell Hall was one of many projects accomplished by volunteer work crews this summer. Praise God for friends of ABC who give to the Lord's work in this way.
After living in Haiti for 4 years, one ABC student returned there this summer for 5 weeks of camp ministry. She helped guide campers through team building activities, served as photographer, and took opportunities to talk through spiritual growth topics with new believers. Thank God for providing this Camping Major student with practical experience. #ABCsummermissions
