On September 20, 1999 RHEMA Bible Training Center Mexico began its inaugural school year. The original class had 35 students who came from as far away as Guatemala. Many of the students in that first class, and in the classes that followed, testify that for years they prayed to go to RHEMA USA, but as they did not speak the language, and because of financial restrictions, it was not possible for them to go.
The Lord heard their cry though and planted a RHEMA Bible Training center right in their neighborhood! Every year students arrive that are hungry for the Word, and it is a privilege to minister to them. They travel by bus, subway and taxi everyday. Some have even had to leave their home at 4:00 AM to arrive to class on time.
Our school year has always been in synch with RHEMA USA. Classes are held from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and from 8:30 to noon on Tuesday and Thursday. We have four quarters of study, ending in May.
The College has grown in numbers ever since it began. In 1999, we started with 35 students and by May 2007 we had 100 students. Graduates from RHEMA Bible Training Center Mexico go on to do many things: many graduates have gone on to pioneer their own churches in Mexico, some go on to help in their local church, and still others enter the business world as a bright light filled with the Word of God.
Please continue to pray for the RHEMA Mexico students. Link up with their prayers that God will supply their every need, and that He will lead their every step. Amen
