We keep breaking records at Puerto Rico Baptist College! We may have more than 60 students enrolled this fall! My classes are getting larger too. 14 students have signed up for my Spanish Chemistry class and 10-12 for the English Chemistry class. Our summer Biology class is progressing well, but we are looking ahead to the new semester that begins the second week of August. There is a lot of work to do before we start the school year, like searching high and low to find to find just the right text books for our Chemistry and Greek classes. I having a hard time getting chemicals. The new chemistry sets in stores are too "safe" (ie: wimpy) and only the state schools have access to materials we would like to use at Puerto Rico Baptist College. I am trying to get some Sulfur, etc through eBay, so we'll have to see how that all works out.
We are working on improving our Bible college in many ways. I hope to use our students contributions to make our school better in the future. I have a Biology student who has an engineering degree from Columbia and I have asked him to help me create an on-line Biology course for Spanish-speaking students. I am trying to have the assignments written by our students add up to enough material so we can make a web site. That way we can eventually offer classes on the internet to students in 22 countries where Spanish is spoken.
We are confident the time invested in these young lives is time well spent. As our students they return to their home countries, with Gods' help, they will multiply the ministry through evangelism, church planting and Christian education. We hope to see churches planted and our students teaching others through Bible schools in their own countries.
