After almost 25 years of running our Carrubbers Institute of Biblical Studies, we are going to be drawing this ministry to a close following the completion of our 2015-2016 class. We have been hugely privileged and thankful to have had the opportunity to run this race with the Institute of Biblical Studies for many years and are so very grateful to all who have served in so many ways through teaching, administering, catering and helping in any way. As it has been the case in recent years that the majority of our enrolment has come from individuals outside of Carrubbers, and as there are now several viable options for part-time Bible education in, and around, the Edinburgh area – as well as many more online opportunities – we believe that now is the right time to focus our efforts and energies toward the development of new training opportunities for those for whom God has given us the greatest responsibility.

Points of praise...

• Thank God for His provision and the privilege of being part of this wonderful course both for students and helpers, also for all those who made lecture days such a joy, this is a race worth running.

Things to pray for...

• For perseverance and enthusiasm for those set to finish the final lap from October to June 2016, may they not grow weary.
• For a good uptake of the new training opportunities.
• May God be glorified in all we say and do.
