Words from the President
A Newsletter is not normally for preaching. However, I am a preacher!
Holmes Bible College’s chief textbook is the Word of God! It must be proclaimed.
Our desire is for every student to intimately know the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the desire of the faculty and staff for all of us to minister for Him out of relationship and being.
In order to do so, each student must learn to do three things:
1. Pray – I Thessalonians 5:17 “Pray without ceasing.” They must pray regularly, pray for the requests given, do “flash prayers” as they see a need, and pray as the Spirit urges.
2. Praise – I Thessalonians 5:16 “Rejoice always.” They should praise Him for answered prayers, for Who He is, for His guidance, for loved ones, for His handiwork, for His creation, and so it expands.
3. Practice His Presence – Matthew 28:20b “...and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen.” Through the ministry of the Spirit let each one feel His presence, know what He would do, see through His eyes, hear through His ears, and respond as He would respond.
May the Lord fill us with His presence. May those around each of us see Him through us. Amen.
Sincerely,
D. Chris Thompson, President

Activities of the Future
James D. Leggett Annual Golf Classic
The 2nd Annual James D. Leggett Golf Tournament benefiting Holmes Bible College will be held April 6, 2023. Pray for a successful day. This year’s event will be at the Cherokee Valley Course near Travelers Rest. Last year the Tournament netted over $77,000 for the College. The funds were greatly beneficial to help carry the College through the summer. Our deep appreciation to Chairman Bishop Ray Boggs and Pastor Bill Rose.
It is not too late to give as a hole sponsor!
Graduation May 6, 2023
Graduation will be this year on Saturday morning, May 6th at 10:30 AM. Bishop Danny Nelson is the invited speaker. This will conclude a very successful 125th year. We Praise Him! It will be a great day!
Special Prayers!
1. Full Dorms – This is the season that many students are finalizing their plans for the fall. We need full dorms! The students, through their work study, do much of the work of the campus. Please pray for laborers! The Lord would be pleased.
2. Two part-time music instructors. Sister Carol Watson is retiring in May. She has served the College well for 37 years. We need two part-time music instructors. We would like to start a Music Minor Degree. Pray urgently.
3. “Better Than Before!” Campaign. In addition to the regular operational needs of some $1,200 per day, we are in need of some special funds to get the campus up to full operation. Please note the included flyer. We need some $50,000 during the next year. May the Lord continue to be our Jehovah-Jireh.
See you at the Golf Tournament and at Graduation!
