Pray for Us
past issues
Pray For Us is a bimonthly newsletter of SBC to provide updated information and prayer requests, including messages from the Principal, lecturers and Development Director. It serves at least four functions – to inform, instruct, inspire and involve the readers. As such, it is the main channel of communication and connection with the worldwide community. Presently about 13,000 copies are circulated to our alumni, supporters, churches and friends in 46 countries.?
As the name suggests, the newsletter aims to motivate and mobilize intercession for SBC. So when you read through the college events and happenings, messages and financial report, please pause to pray. Even as you pray for us, we also pray for you. By all means, we wish to cultivate a culture of prayer, emphasizing our dependence on God and reminding us that our walk with God is more important than our work for God.
