In
August of 2007, the college was moved from its previous location of 1 ½
acres in Paso Hondo, Allende (40 miles south of Monterrey), to the 15
acre Palms Youth Camp and Convention Center about 25 miles southeast of
Monterrey at Hacienda El Refugio, Cadereyta, N.L.
The move has been a tremendous blessing giving us more opportunity for
expansion and providing tilled land to grow food for the school. We have
been able to eat from some of the "fruit of the land" from the
vegetables growing at The Palms Camp.
With the three year Bible Graduate course of study, we also offer BA and
MA Degree programs through I.N.S.T.E.P. of Louisiana Baptist University.
(Download

Master's PDF Brochure). Our school is now known as the Ambassador
Baptist Bible College and Graduate School (Instituto Bautista Bíblico
Embajadores y Seminario). (Click

We celebrated our graduation at the Ambassador Baptist Bible College and
Graduate School on May 15, 2009. This school year marked the first time
to offer the MA program through INSTEP at Louisiana Baptist University.
It is a first for the INSTEP program here in Mexico or anywhere.
We graduated eight third year, nine BA and nine MA students. Plus for
the first time, an Honorary Doctor of Divinity Degree from LBU was
awarded to a Mexican pastor. The first recipient of this honor is Pastor
José Reyna of Maranatha B. C. in Monterrey, Mexico. So we had 27
receiving diplomas and degrees this year, the most by far in the history
of the college!
This year we put up tents and had everything done at the campus. There
were over 700 people from four different states in Mexico attending!
After the service a dinner was provided and some great fellowship until
late into the night.
Our guest speaker was Dr. Mark Crook from LBU who preached a tremendous
message translated by Missionary Evangelist David Abbott. Several
trusted Christ as their Savior! Dr. Crook handed out the first MA
degrees through INSTEP here in Mexico as well as the D.D. Degree and
received a special award from the college presented by yours truly.
Thank you for your prayers and support for this ministry. God bless.
