Dear Students, Alumni, & Friends,

We are excited to begin our Fall semester, and our 14^th year at Gethsemane Bible Institute (GBI).  I would like for you to mark your calendars for some very important upcoming dates.  We will have our very first GBI rally on Saturday, August 11^th at 10:00 a.m.  Preachers will be called from the floor and lunch will be provided.  We will take up a special offering that day.

Secondly, we are offering a special course worth 3 credit hours on Bible Geography taught by Pastor Glenn Stocker of Amarillo, TX.  The dates are August 13, 14, and 16.  We will begin at 6:30 nightly.  The pre-registration fee is $30.00 until August 6^th, and then $40.00 after that date.  This course will also have a text book that will cost an additional $30.00 and may be purchased on campus.

Finally, our fall semester will officially begin Tuesday, August 21^st.  We will be offering Ephesians II, English, Manuscript History, and Pastoral Counseling.  There will be a text book for Manuscript History (Gipp’s Understandable History of the Bible) and for Pastoral Counseling (Practical Counseling Principles for Christians). Both are available on campus in our bookstore.  On-campus Fall tuition is $150.00.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 870-886-3846.

In Christ,

Dr. Derek Collins
