You Can Participate in the Miracle at Holmes Bible College
Jesus said, "This is God's year to act!" (Luke 4:19, The Message).
You and I can get in on the action God is doing at Holmes Bible College.
President D. Chris Thompson has given us a golden opportunity to respond to his appeal to help him and the college by becoming "A Sustainer."
In his recent newsletter he wrote this:
Special Challenge
Holmes moves forward by faith! The College has been a faith institution for 124 years. She still is! We now have over 130 sustainers – 4 more last month. I rejoice and praise the Lord for these! They pray for the College and give at least $1200 per year – the cost of one day’s operation.
To be a sustainer you receive and accept the challenge by praying for Holmes Bible College and giving at least $1200 per year. You can do that by faith in God to provide the means for you to give $1200. That is the cost of one day's financial operation for the college.
God will bless you as you plant your seed of financial blessing for Holmes Bible College.
In a time of famine, "Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold, because the Lord blessed him." (Gen 26:12, NIV). Reaping a hundredfold harvest is a good thing when the weather and soil are favorable, but it is a miracle when it happens in a time of famine.
Allow God to speak to you and then do what He tells you to give. The Apostle Paul wrote this statement about God's provision: But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus" (Phil. 4:19, KJV).
Jesus said this about giving and receiving (the spiritual law of reciprocity) written in Luke 6:38, "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you" (NKJV).

Here is the Scripture recorded in Luke's Gospel about what Jesus said in the synagogue in Nazareth, His hometown:
Luke 4:16-21
16 He came to Nazareth where He had been reared. As He always did on the Sabbath, He went to the meeting place (the synagogue). When He stood up to read, 17 He was handed the scroll of the prophet Isaiah. Unrolling the scroll, He found the place where it was written,
18 God's Spirit is on Me;
He's chosen me to preach the Message of good news to the poor,
Sent me to announce pardon to prisoners and
recovery of sight to the blind,
To set the burdened and battered free,
19 to announce, "This is God's year to act!"
20 He rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the assistant, and sat down. Every eye in the place was on Him, intent. 21 Then He started in, "You've just heard Scripture make history. It came true just now in this place."
