MINISTRY / Enrollment on the rise

316NOW's Bible institute enrollment is on the rise.

Enrollment is climbing

When China used the threat of Covid to lock down its people and its borders, 316NOW's online Christian leader training program lost students. More students stayed away when, in March 2022, China became more serious about restricting online religious content.

This morning, 316NOW's Administrative Team celebrated that the Spirit is reversing that shrinkage in our student body. Today we have 144 students on our master student file. That compares with a high of 164 students prior to Covid. As the fall semester begins, twenty-two (22) new students are set to attend classes. We anticipate up to 100 students will fill our classrooms this fall.

Thank you and thank God

Thank you for your prayers that the Lord of the Church uses 316NOW to raise up Christian leaders. Through these leaders and their house churches, the gospel will come to many more in China. And thank God along with us for the continuing to growth in the Bible Institute's enrollment -- growth in spite of the challenges that Chinese Christians face.
