It is hard to believe we are approaching the end of another year.This Fall has been a whirlwind of activity as the boys go toschool everyday, the youngest keeps Melissa very busy athome, and Jon seeks to balance ministry opportunities andstudying Hebrew. Having students in our home for Christmasmovies, and as a family attending Student Life activities, haveadded to the excitement and aided our ministry impact.

Please continue to pray for our health needs as the brief summerreprieve from sickness has ended. We are fighting another boutof illnesses as coughs, colds and ear infections have once againinvaded our house. We appreciate your prayers for wisdom aswe constantly nurse our children to health.

WOLBIMinistry UpdateAlready 95% of students are in one

-on

-one formal, weekly

discipleship with staff members. Normally we dont seenumbers like that until March! We have been incredibly blessedover the past few months by a student body that is eager to learnGods Word and grow in their relationships with others andChrist. Pray for wisdom for our disciplers and a continuedhunger for students to Pursue Gods Heart.

I really enjoy the personal discipleship here! The disciplers arereally interested in you and want to see you grow closer to Godin your spiritual walk. -Nathan from ON

One of Jons disciplees said, The BI has really helped me learnto manage my time more wisely and think about what Imspending my time on. Using my time for Gods glory is soimportant. -Jordan from ON

Jon and the Student LifeDeans have been seeking to revampsome of their chapels this year. Below one of the students com-mented on the impact.

Deans Chapels have really been applicable and practical indealing with sin in my life!

Jon recently had the chance to travel with the BIchildrensministry team, EDIFY, and share the Gospel at a local church. Itwas exciting to see one little girl respond to the invitation toaccept Jesus as her Saviour.

Israel 2011Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

It is hard to express our gratitude for those of you who prayedand gave financially so Jon could go to Israel this past summer.He has been so incredibly blessed by the opportunity.

Life-changing memories and hundreds of pictures have placed a

longing in his heart that just does not go away (he already yearnsto go back). As a teacher of Gods Word, this trip has had aneternal impact on his life and teaching, and it would not havebeen possible without your sacrifice.
