The students have returned from their Mission Xposure trips. The second year students who were visiting northern communities returned late Wednesday evening and the third year students arrived back early Thursday morning and in the evening on Friday.

They came back full of stories of the people they encountered and new perspectives acquired on their own lives and mission. Continue to pray for the students and staff as they process the information and relationships that were built through their different encounters. This coming week the students will be sharing their reflections and stories in chapel. Chapels begin at 11:30am and are open for anyone to attend.

On Wednesday morning 29 students and two faculty members left Steinbach Bible College for a week of ministry in Northern Manitoba. They will reach Thompson later on in the day for a time of orientation with Continental Mission Inc.

Students welcomed an interruption to the Mission X module with the celebration of the Oylmpic flame passing through Steinbach. The route carried the flame right past the high school and college buildings.

As the hallways come back to life, new faces are being spotted among the returning students. Fifteen students have enrolled for the second semester of studies. While there are some students who have not returned, the large enrollment for semester will more than compensate for the students that have left. Classes for semester 2 begin January 25. There is still time for anyone else who would like to apply for this semester.
