Recognition for winter completers

(posted by Paul Zilmer)

We didn't have as many people turn our for our recognition event as we had hoped. The completion results were excellent — 17 students completed at least one course from Dec thru Feb. We offered 7 on-site classes and 2 self-study courses. One student completed 6 classes, and two others completed 5. But a number of people had conflicts and some simply didn't show. The ones who came heard a nice Bible talk from Norm, who spoke about "Telling Another Person About Jesus", using examples from the New Testament, as well as examples from among our students, many of whom have told friends & family members about their experience at the BEC, and those people have now also become students.

We've now had two recognitions on Saturdays, one am and one pm. The am time got better response, but we would still like to get more. Next time I think we'll try a weeknight. As you can tell, we're still experimenting, holding onto what works, and trying something else when we think we might do better.

Bottom line - we were very proud of our students, many of whom are taking class after class with us. The level of commitment to study God's word is awesome.

Here are some pictures, mainly showing the informal interaction while we enjoyed the appetizers provided by the sisters.
