On Saturday, May 21, the Southeast Institute of Biblical Studies held their 2022 commencement. This is an extra special day for the men who have completed their studies. This day celebrates the completion of the studies; however, the word commence indicates the beginning of their labors in the fields white unto harvest. They have prepared themselves to be about the Father’s business. We are to congratulate them for their efforts and their decision to devote their lives to the spreading of the gospel.
Two men walked the stage Saturday: Bob Hibbard, who has completed his studies this past quarter, and Joshua Schutkowski, who will complete his studies in December.
Two ladies completed their studies in the women’s program and walked yesterday: Deb Hibbard and Aspen Schutkowski.
We are thankful to these wonderful students for their hard work and dedication and we pray to the Lord with thanksgiving and ask that His blessings be with these men during the time of their work in the ministry. We also pray that they use the knowledge they have gained here to His glory.
We are also thankful to Will and the staff for the diligent work they have put forth in training these men and the students past and students to come. We have come to love the students and their families and wish them well on the next segment of their life. They will be missed!
