Caleb’s visit to New Tribes Bible Institute

Katrina and Caleb in Wisconsin
Four of us set out on Tuesday afternoon, around 3:00, on a 24 hour journey to the New Tribes Bible Institute in Waukesha, Wisconsin. We arrived at the Bible School on Wednesday around 4:00. We were very happy to see everybody and everybody was very happy to see us. We hung out with people until dinner that night and played some volleyball and card games afterwards.
A really hard time

Katrina and a friend from Florida who is also an NTBI student
The last few weeks have been a really dry time of learning for me. I sit in classes and want to learn and understand what the teachers are saying, but it seems no matter how hard I try and concentrate nothing is going in. I have been reading on my own in the mornings and as I read I see the truth of God’s Word, but thinking deeply about what its saying is hard to do.
Katrina’s third semester at New Tribes Bible Institute

Katrina is a Junior at New Tribes Bible Institute.
We have been going through some amazing classes at New Tribes Bible Institute this semester. I have gotten to take 2 Corinthians, Romans, Missions in Church History, James and Angelology.
Right now in Romans class we are going through verse by verse and learning about man’s desperate need for God, about how God provided the only way for man to be cleansed, and about our new life in Christ- our justification, sanctification and glorification.
Summer break almost over

When it was time to leave New Tribes Bible Institute and come back home for summer break I was really struggling with leaving friends, leaving classes and fearing that I would loose my desire to study God’s Word and that my relationship with God would fall apart.
Classes are over but fun is not

Classes have finished, but the fun certainly hasn’t! For two days after classes end New Tribes Bible Institute has work days.
We all get divided up into groups inside and outside to clean, do yard work and fix things. My job is washing, vacuuming and waxing the school vehicles. I get to work with one of my friends and we are having a great time together.
An over soaked sponge

Kristia and Katrina in Wisconsin during Spring Break.
This past semester has been super busy with reading and homework. As the time grew closer for Spring Break I started to feel like an over soaked sponge. It’s not that I didn’t want to focus on classes and continue learning. I just couldn’t retain any more information.
Back to school, new classes and winter retreat

I’m back in the snow again and it is still beautiful! It’s been in the teens the last few days, but I’m still wearing skirts to class a few times a week. It’s been pretty easy to get back into the swing of things here at Bible School. I’ve been able to catch up with friends, get enough sleep and get back into homework in the afternoons.
Winter break, deeper understanding and prayer

Dressed for winter weather in Wisconsin.
It has been wonderful to be home this past month. I have really enjoyed all the time I’ve gotten to spend with my family and it has been great to work so that I can start saving up money for my next year at New Tribes Bible Institute.
I have enjoyed most everything about this last semester. The classes were so good and I learned so much. I started building great relationships as well.
First snow at NTBI Waukesha

Katrina making a "snow angel."
I looked outside this morning and the first thing I saw were tiny white flakes floating down. It is the first snow of the season and it’s absolutely beautiful! I felt like a little kid as I flew down the stairs in my winter jacket to play in the snow for a few minutes before running to class.
Several of us stood outside, tried to build a snow man, and threw snowballs in between classes all day. The ground looks like someone has lightly sprinkled it with powdered sugar. God’s creation shows his delicate work and beautiful creativity. Our God is so good to us!
