During the last semester, one lady (vice-president’s wife) has spent countless hours at the school getting things better organized and revamping the teaching notes for the courses that Dr. Kirsch and other have taught through the years. Geri also has had a hand in organizing the school’s email mailouts on the new platform. Thank you Geri for your work.

The college appreciates all the work and time that Glenn Maning has donated to the school, not only during the past semester, but also during the past decade or two. A few months back, he rebuilt four computers for the college and also helped us back up our school’s records on-line, and at three other secure locations not accessible online.  

On one occasion, I came into the school about noon and he was working on some stuff. When I left that night he was still working on some stuff. When I came back the next morning, I found out he had continued working on that same stuff all night long and until about 3pm the next day. 

Glen is a blessing to the school in many ways and we appreciate all that he does and has done for the college through the years. He also managed the old website since Antioch Baptist Bible College decided to introduce itself to the world via the school’s webpage.

Over the past year, we have been working on building our college’s new website. It is still a work in progress, but are pleased with the progress that has been accomplished thus far. The new website is secure and has enhanced security features. The site also provides a very secure way people can give to the college. (That aspect is handled by tithe.ly). Since you are here at our new site, take a look around, kick some tires, and let us know what you think. Suggestions to improve the site will be appreciated.

Antioch recently received a special donation to help struggling students with part of their college tuition. Due to the generosity of that donor, two students received an unexpected blessing that was put towards their school tuition. If you would like to be a blessing to a student in this way, contact the school or give through the school’s secure donation page. Please indicate the purpose of your donation Anonymous donations are tax-deductible as long as a specific student is not specified.

Antioch has been raising funds to remodel one of its classrooms and expand its library. We are raising funds to build 18 wooden bookshelves. Each wooden bookcase will cost about $125.00 to buy the wood, build, paint, and install. We praise the Lord that recently $250.00 was donated for the bookshelf project. That gives us 11% of our goal or 2 of the 18 bookshelves needed.

Pray for Brother Kirsche and his upcoming missionary trip to the Caribbean Islands. He will be traveling to Costa Rica this Summer to participate in an affiliate school in the country. Dr. Kirsche will be participating in the school’s graduation exercises as well as preaching in several churches during his three weeks stay. Pray for Dr. Kirsche as he ministers this summer in that country.

In 2024, Dr. Kirsche preached in Brazil during his 21-day visit. He preached at Hope Baptist Church in São Paulo, a church of about 500; he preached two conferences at two churches in Londrina, and he preached at an area-wide men’s conference for the northern part of the state of Paraná. 

In 2023, Dr. Kirsche preached conferences at churches in India and Brazil. While in Brazil, he also visited the counties of Paraguay and Argentina. Dr. Kirsch preached in Brazil in 2017, 2018, 2021, as well as 2023, and 2024. His wife.

During the past years, Dr. Kirshe and his wife Kitty traveled to India, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Brazil, and other places to preach conferences and to visit Bible Colleges that Antioch Baptist Bible College has helped during the past decade. Kitty was able to accompany him on most of his travels to preach and minister across the world. Here are some of the photos of those adventures.
