Holsby welcomes the world
This coming September our Holsby family will welcome its 42nd group of Bible school students. Though you may not be here in person, I hope you welcome them as well, through your prayers and ongoing testimony of what Jesus did in your life when you came to Holsby. As for my wife and me, September will be the start of our fourth Bible school here in Holsby, which is as hard for me to believe as the wonderful fact that we are going on six years of marriage and expecting a third child this September.
Each year it is a blessing for Holsby to be able to offer full or partial scholarships to students from areas of the world where Bible teaching and a supportive community are not so accessible. In the past years we have had students from Poland, Romania, Armenia, Latvia and Russia. These students are always a great addition to our student body and invaluable agents of change in their home countries or wherever they go. We can usually support 1-2 students every year, but this year we have had three requests from Mongolia, Poland and Uzbekistan. We are delighted to make it possible for all three students to join our community!
Below you will find a picture and short testimony from each of these students. We ask our scholarship students to raise the money for their flights and visa, and then depending on their financial status, a certain percentage of their tuition. If you are at all interested in supporting our scholarship program and the immediate need of these three students, you will find information below the student bios on how to give.
Hello, my name is Tuvshinjargal from Mongolia. My family and I very happy to study in Holsby Bible School. My prayer requests are:
1. I really want to know God’s words and live in Jesus Christ.
2. Please pray for me and my son’s future life.
My name is Salim. I am 22 years old, and my nationality is Tajik. I am a Christian from my childhood, and from Uzbekistan. Above all, from this year I’m looking forward to God’s blessing. I would like you to pray that all ended perfectly school year and have learned more about God.
My name is Agata and I am from Borne Sulinowo, a small town in northern Poland.
I’m 23, and by God’s grace, His servant for six years. I do love God’s Word and I really like to learn Bible from leaders of my church and study it with women and teenagers.
I have heard about Holsby from my pastor, Tomasz Krążek, who was there 11 years ago. I have dreamed about it since few years, but I think the perfect moment for me to do it is now. I’m looking forward to know my Lord better, to know Him deeper, stronger, closer.
