The Spring semester is just a few weeks away.. The schedule will be posted as soon as it comes available. We have three classes that will continue but there will also be some new classes offered. We are expecting to have students for in-hose classes as well as those who chose to use zoom. Both will be available. The official registration for the semester is January 6, with classes beginning on the 9th. I am excited about the prospects for the coming year.

The fall semester is soon to close. While the in-house classes were limited, we were still able to open. The move to Theodore has been been successful as far as the equipment for the school is concerned. I have not been able to locate a facility to house the print shop but I am still looking. The spring semester will begin in early January 2023 and enrollment is now open for classes. The schedule will be posted on the web site as soon as it is completed.
I do have a very special request. The financial drain on our budget, due to the moving expense, has been extremely heavy. I would like to ask two things. One that you pray for us and Two that you consider sending a special offering to help in this expense.
I would also like to thank everyone that has encouraged us during this move. Your words of have been much appreciated.

This week completed three weeks of in-house classes at Gulf Coast Baptist College. The transition is still on going and many people are working hard to insure that things can be accomplished in a timely manner. Sufficient amount of school material has now been transferred from Pensacola to Theodore for the operation of the school. It is now very important that all of us begin to make a concentrated effort to find a suitable building to house the print shop. So far, I have not been able to locate one that we could possible afford. It is also necessary that I sell the large Heidelberg press. It is in prefect condition but it is far too much press for our operation. A new Sunday School quarterly in Spanish has just been completed. This leaves us with only quarterly for the ten year cycle of the New Testament to be completed.
Please join me in prayer that we can soon begin to move the shop to Mobile or Theodore. If a church would be interested in sponsoring this ministry, please contact me. I would love to talk to you. There has been so much work has gone into producing good material in both English and Spanish. This work much continue.
Thanks for all your prayers and support.

I will take just a moment to report on the opening day services for Gulf Coast Baptist College in Theodore. Dr. Gonnella planned a tremendous program and it went very smooth. However, before we got to the program, a great time of fellowship was enjoyed by all, especially the food. The ladies of Magnolia Springs Baptist Church are to be commended for their tireless effort. Following the program, a tour of the facilities, where the school will hold its classes, was conducted. Again, all those who worked so hard to prepare the rooms should be commended for their efforts. Everyone commented on how professional they all looked. For the first time in three semesters, we will be holding in house classes, this will be complimented by the on line classes. An offering was received to help in the expenses for the opening. Please remember us all in your prayers, we are not completely moved in but the main things for the school are in place. I am still trying to locate a suitable building for the printing ministry. This has proven to be a tremendous task. Please continue to pray for all of us.
