OBA 2025 Impact
Thanks to many partners who freely offered time, talent, treasure, and space, the Opened Bible Academy had another incredible year of transforming hearts and changing lives.
Served With Excellence
The Opened Bible Academy served 265 students across four quarters through both virtual and in-person classes. We also supported 20 alumni and church members through two workshops. By September, OBA servants had contributed more than 7,305 hours to our mission.
Instructed Weekly In Classrooms
Forty-eight instructors, all seminary graduates (11 different seminaries), and twenty classroom community leaders, all OBA graduates, actively served current students this year. Fourteen new instructors and classroom community leaders joined our team.
Taught Courses In A Correctional Facility
The Opened Bible Academy served at the Diboll Correctional Facility and the Sandy Estes Unit, where four men completed the Foundations Certificate and another 12 men are completing finishing up their last class.
Enrolled New Students
The Opened Bible Academy enrolled 112 new students in our Bible Exploration and Bible College Seminary Preparation programs. These students committed to a 30-month study through the Bible.
Shared The Gospel
Opened Bible Academy students actively used what they learned to share the Gospel. They boldly initiated over 2,800 conversations about Christ (Jan - Sep), conversations which God used to add 301 new believers to His Kingdom.
Honored Student Dedication
The Opened Bible Academy honored the committed study of eighty-five new graduates with commencement celebrations in Houston and Ireland.
