Dear Students, Alumni, & Friends,

Greetings and happy New Year! I hope that this letter finds you doing well.  2015 was another great year for GBI.  We have approximately 400 students in over 40 states and 3 foreign countries.  It was also a very busy year for me.  I preached revival services and/or Bible conferences in Arkansas, Indiana, Tennessee, Missouri, North Carolina, Illinois, & Mexico.  2016 looks to be even busier as I have meetings already scheduled across Arkansas, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Tennessee, and Missouri.  I also have plans, by the grace of God, to begin a writing ministry this year.

On a personal note, my family is expanding this spring.  Please pray for my wife as she delivers our third daughter, Sadey Eden Collins.  We are all very excited and are looking forward to her arrival.  Please continue to pray for GBI and if I can be of any assistance to you, please feel free to contact me.

Thanking God for our final authority, the Authorized King James Bible,

Bro. Derek Collins, Th.D.
