indian bible like to serve the lord in this way, please...
TRANSCRIPT
As of today, Grace Bible Church is supporting the
Esplins, both of whom are on staff at the Indian
Bible College (IBC) in Flagstaff. Daniel is Director
of Admissions and Coreen is Dean of Women.
Besides those duties, Daniel has started a year-
long discipleship program to help Indian men
understand the biblical concept of warrior-like
manliness (in the image of Jesus). Coreen is
heavily involved in counseling women to help
them break out of the cycle of despair that is so
prevalent on the reservations. They are looking
for new and creative ways to teach Indian men
and women how to mature in Christ and serve
Him as missionaries not only on the reservations
but to the rest of the world.
The Indian Bible College has about 19 full-time
students and 19 part-time students. It is approach-
ing it’s 60th Anniversary in 2018 and is working
toward full accreditation. IBC’s unique focus is on
combining Bible training with discipleship and
vocational training.
Let’s pray for God’s protection for Daniel and
Coreen as they model a godly marriage to their
students. Also pray for their twin daughters,
Maisa and Maia, away at colleges.
