Baptist Bible College and Seminary

BBC&S equips global Christian leaders through excellence
in biblical higher education.

Along with focusing donations to help current students, this season
we're giving 25 percent of your year-end gifts to help alumni – former
students who are living out lives of impact.

This is an exciting opportunity. You can even choose
the ministry you want to share with – or share with all three.

Here are some alumni ministries we are sharing with:

Biblical Institute on the Bend (IBB) in Bamako, Mali
Leader: Mohamed-Ibrahim Yattara (BBS, 10)

A key training facility for decades, IBB has been forced to relocate to another location in the nation due to raids by Islamic extremist groups. While Malians can rapidly adapt to such changes, the present challenges have impacted hundreds of evangelicals, who are in need of housing, material needs, and more. Dr. Yattara is supervising these displaced residents and creating an atmosphere of peace as he continues to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Needs:
• Lodging and living expenses for displaced families.
• Prescription and medical costs.
• Equipment for IBB to use while they are relocated.
• Textbooks, study items, and related items for students.
