New Year in October? Yes, it's our new school year. Which means a brand new batch of students coming in - a brand new start. With every new batch of students we are always so blessed to see all those God has called to come and be equipped: - Some come with such a hunger to learn and a passion to serve. - Some come in broken but we get to see their restoration and transformation. - It's an exciting time to meet each one and only imagine how different they will be in 2 yea

Our media ministry is dedicated to sharing the gospel to as many as we can across Indonesia. We do this through our TV show on air 9x a week and 4 different social media apps. Preaching in person or through media, the gospel gets 2 major responses: 1. Those who receive it - and receive salvation, healing, etc (stories below) 2. Those who reject it - and also reject us along with Jesus (story below) The past month... we encountered both of these in major ways. 1. Month

"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us." - Ephesians 3:20 We always pray, plan, and imagine great things. But, the truth is, what God has planned for us is already greater. We've experienced it yet again.. You can watch the testimony in a video here! (for English) Or here. (for Bahasa Indonesia) Isn't God so good? He remembered, fulfilled the prayer and did more than was even ask

This year was our 16th and biggest graduation yet! We graduated 48 of our second year students, plus our third year interns! I'm really overwhelmed with gratitude for all that Jesus has done in their lives over the last 2 years. Our valedictorian's speech was one of the many mind blowing testimonies of what God's grace can do! He shared of a past so broken, addicted, and violent and yet... a today so healed, full of love and free... with a future so bright as a youth past

June has been such a busy month!! 1. I preached at a women's conference in Borneo where the hall was packed with 5,000 wonderful women plus many outside in tents and more online, 2.

Do you know what many of our WIBI graduates do? We have 100's of graduates, and many of them become pastors, missionaries, leaders, evangelists and do wonderful work! 9 of them are full time staff: running our school, TV program, and all of our missions work. Another 25 of them work together with us in missions program going regularly to serve in 10 areas. Yes, We have 25 missionaries serving in 10 mission posts every single week!

April was another exciting month full of outreaches! 1. Our month started by closing the school and sending all of our 2nd year students out on “missions week”! Some travelled to the other end of the province while some went to villages nearby. They ministered to people of all backgrounds, races, ages and beliefs. In one week they reached over 700 people and documented that 64 of them made a decision to follow Christ! 2. We also held a special children’s evangelism training f

Let me take you through a few things we did in March, which also gives you an example of what we do on a monthly basis. 1. World Impact Bible Institute I had the joy of finishing off some courses for our 2nd semester including biblical preaching - where my students did a lot of practical exercises in class, learning how to preach. As well as the Book of Acts - where we also gave them opportunity for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. What awesome times we had together! Just a fe

Do you know that there's one way we are guaranteed to reach 1,000's each month with the gospel across the whole nation of Indonesia and into areas we could normally not get into it?! It's through our TV show! The 2025 reports showed that about 6,000 people responded to our show each month. How many more 1,000's are watching?! As Indonesia has many interior regions and smartphones are not used by all yet, TV is still widely followed and watched. What a great door that is st

How was your start to 2026? As usual I spent a lot of this month in planning mode: preparing, scheduling, and dreaming of what we will do throughout the year. So, what will do this year?? 1. More missions than ever: I even spent a few days driving from village to village, meeting church leaders, going into new areas, and finding out what help is needed. We are expanding into more teams to reach more people! 2. More Resources and Media: not only are we continuing our weekly
