Specific Prayer and Support Opportunities

  • Praise God for a committed student body.
  • Praise God that we were able to run the WATER program this year! Missions and students were blessed.
  • Praise God for the Housing Project completion- In 2020, SMBI purchased 17.7 acres across a small country road from the institute. This also added a small house to the campus housing. In 2021, a house was constructed on this property, which provided housing for the administrator’s family. In 2022, the basement has been finished which provides additional housing for staff, students, and guests. It has been amazing and faith-building to see God provide for these projects.
  • Pray for God’s provision of a new assistant administrator as soon as He chooses to provide.
  • Current funding- We are currently looking to buy a new garden tractor for the school. If you wish to donate toward this project you may do so by mail as described above. You may also contribute anonymously through the Anabaptist Foundation at 55 Whisper Creek Drive, Lewisburg, PA, 17837 earmarked “SMBI Garden Tractor.”
  • Student Aid Fund- As with everywhere else, costs have continued to rise- including tuition and room and board costs. Every year, SMBI provides thousands of dollars in discounts to school teachers, those who have returned from mission service, and pastors who are attending or paying for their children’s expenses. Other students can also apply for student aid if needed. If you wish to contribute toward making this support possible, you may do so as described above of through the Anabaptist Foundation as described above.
