It doesn’t seem possible that I am already writing one of my last articles for the year. Another year has just about come and gone. It seems as though time really does fly by!

This has been another busy year for Clear Creek Baptist Bible College, and God has used many people to bless this ministry. During this season of Thanksgiving and Christmas, our campus family wants you to know how much we appreciate each of you. You are a major part of the blessings that support and sustain this ministry and for that we want to say thank you from all of us here at Clear Creek Baptist Bible College.

Your gifts through the Cooperative Program are a blessing to Clear Creek. As you give through your local church to the Cooperative Program, Clear Creek receives a portion of those gifts designated for Christian education. These gifts are a major portion of our operating budget, and they enable us to fulfill our mission to equip God-called men and women for ministry. We could not do what we do without your Cooperative Program giving, and we want you to know we are thankful for your support.

Many of our Kentucky Baptist Convention churches provide ministry opportunities for our students throughout the year. Many of our students pastor or serve in leadership positions while they continue their studies at Clear Creek. Thank you for these opportunities that provide valuable practical ministry experience for our students outside of the classroom. This practical ministry focus goes a long way in helping equip our students for God’s calling on their lives.

We also want to thank you for the many blessings that have already been, and will be provided during this holiday season. We have had associations and churches who have provided a turkey and all the trimmings for each campus family so they would have a turkey dinner for Thanksgiving. More individuals, churches and associations will be providing another turkey and all the trimmings for Christmas also for each campus family. Through your support of our Christmas shopping spree our students will be able to provide a Christmas for their children.

Everywhere I travel people tell me they are praying for the ministry of Clear Creek. Thank you for praying for us.
