Who pushes them to live in a very difficult situation, except that they have a calling, and because of their calling, they are staying here. They\u2019re serving here,\u201d says Sara.<\/p>\n<p>Commitment to God\u2019s calling is what the College is trying to nurture. Sara says Bethlehem Bible College exists to equip men and women of God to follow their callings with courage and clarity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery year when we graduate a new cohort, a new batch of students, we are trusting the Lord that He will use their lives so that they will be kingdom expanders \u2014 people who will plant churches, people who will serve the church, people who will teach in schools, and people who will serve in parachurch ministries,\u201d explains Sara.<\/p>\n<p>The goal isn\u2019t simply to produce large numbers of students, but to prepare faithful leaders who will build up the Church and expand God\u2019s Kingdom wherever they are sent \u2014 carrying Christ\u2019s purpose with them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA small \u2014 even if it\u2019s a small light or a little bit of salt \u2014 it\u2019s going to change our nation for Jesus,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<p>Graduates continue their ministry worldwide. Sara recalls some serving in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Yemen, Arab countries, Germany, across Europe, Austria, France, Sweden, and in the United States. More than a hundred students are trained each year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cSo just imagine, they expand that even from this small spot here in Bethlehem!\u201d says Sara.<\/p>\n<p>Please pray for these students and graduates to remain faithful to their calling.
