Ramiro Lainez Challenged Us with 2018 School Theme. Ramiro, his wife, Claudia, and son Josías are loved and appreciated for their genuine Christian lives, warmth and many kindnesses to others. This Nicaraguan family has been asked to work with Mission Upreach in Santa Rosa de Copán upon graduation in December. Four graduates and their families have been working there for over 7 years. The Baxter experience produces mission teams. Ramiro pointed us to Haggai’s call for his fellow Israelites to evaluate their lives, 1:5,7, and our need to do the same. #baxterstudents2018 #baxtermissionupreach (at Baxter Institute) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmzYZRJh9WU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bniplq4q31c

Every Tuesday at 6 PM the freshman have a weekly devotional. This week Jhon James spoke about the importance of being supportive of each other as Christians and fellow students. After the devo, they did an activity showing the power of unity. #baxterstudents2018 (at Baxter Institute)

The Cubans are here! The first-year couples from Cuba arrived just two weeks ago and were greeted by their fellow first-year students with a welcome party and some advice for beginning their new journey here at Baxter. Please pray a Venezuelan family yet to arrive. #baxterstudents2018 #baxtercuban (at Baxter Institute)

Getting to Know You. As traditions go, every year Dianna prepares her best desserts, and opens the home for a night to visit with our new students. Last night five married couples and four children from Nicaragua, Mexico, Honduras, and Colombia told their stories until 11 pm. Five have college degrees and one has already been in full time ministry. Pray for three families in Venezuela and Cuba who are yet to arrive, waiting on paperwork. #baxterstudents2018 #baxtertraditions

First Worship for 20 of the 27 Freshmen. The tradition is to worship with the La Vega Church which first worshiped on Baxter’s campus in 1978 soon after Baxter moved to Tegucigalpa. Pray for the delayed couples - two in Cuba and one from Venezuela. #baxterlavegachurch #baxterstudents2018 (at Iglesia de Cristo en San José de La Vega)
