Dear Praying Friends of Free Lutheran Bible College and Seminary:
Cast your burden on the Lord,
and he will sustain you;
he will never permit
the righteous to be moved.
(Psalm 55:22, ESV)
Praying friends, thank you for caring for FLBCS. Summers go fast around here, and we are already gearing up for another great school year. We anticipate the largest enrollment we have had in recent memory (we are at about 75% capacity) and we always have room for a few more. Our mission is to establish these students in God’s Word, and we work hard every year to improve.
I will attach a copy of our 2025-2026 strategic plan. I think it will help you see what we’re trying to do. We can’t do what we do without you. Pray especially for students deciding where to go to college this fall. Recruiting for higher ed is hard work these days. I know that when students come here they will have a good experience, but sometimes it takes some convincing. Oftentimes it is parents or grandparents who are reluctant. Pray for them, too.
In Christ,
Pastor Wade
Praise God for:
- A great Annual Conference and Board/Corp meetings
- A good time at FLY meeting many students and parents
- Annual Fund 24-25— We hit 100% of our goal mid-June, and our fiscal year resets on July 31. Next year’s goal is $1.5M. More or less, this is what it takes to offer a $34,000/year education for $21,000 (tuition, room, board, and fees). THANK YOU for your support. It’s amazing.
- Mark Sivertson is the new VP of Advancement for the AFLC, and he’s great. If you hear from him, he is ready and able to talk FLBCS with you. He represents everybody, and you can talk to Sherry Mork and me any time about more detail, but Mark is well-versed on FLBCS, having helped us in various ways for years.
Please pray:
- Wisdom and faithfulness for our Board of Trustees and administration
- Financial provision for FLBCS as we enter a new fiscal year in August.
- Summer teams— Our summer teams are out and about right now! Please pray for safe travel, great ministry, and learning lessons for a lifetime of ministry.
- Fall enrollment— We never know for sure until they get here… but we hope to have around 22 Seminarians and 120 Bible College students. Please pray for students and families as they are deciding/committing this summer.
