11-12 Student Handbook - Word of Life Bible Institute

ii. The Student Life Department reserves the right to occasionally change the time and to occasionally
schedule various special speakers. The Dorm RA must first obtain permission from his or her DC to have a
special speaker in the dorm.
iii. All students are expected to participate in presenting devotions periodically each semester.
iv. Students giving devotions should turn in a copy of the devotions to their Dorm RA at least 24 hours prior to
the devotional time; Dorm RA’s should give a copy to their DC.
v. Off-campus students will have daily family devotions in their homes.
4. Quiet Time
Time is set aside in the Bible Institute schedule each day for students to have their own personal time with the
LORD, known as “Quiet Time.” It is our desire that the students will learn the importance of daily time in God’s
Word.
i. Each student is required to have a regular period of prayer and devotions each morning. Each student must
ii.
have his Quiet Time at the scheduled time.
Students must be at their desks during the designated Quiet Time period. No other activities are permitted
during the designated Quiet Times. Students, who have early morning work assignments, must complete
their Quiet Times by lights out that same day.
iii. Students are required to use the current WORD OF LIFE Quiet Time Diary as part of their devotional period
and to fill in the comments for each day. To provide additional accountability, the faculty, staff and Resident
Assistants will periodically check Quiet Time Diaries.
iv. On Saturday, Sunday and Monday, students are responsible for scheduling their own Quiet Time. In each
case, they must be completed prior to “lights out.”
5. Conferences
i. Missions Conference
Several days are devoted to a special missions emphasis at the beginning of winter season. Speakers and
seminars as well as personal interactions with the missionaries themselves provide valuable insight and
motivation. This is a time of providing information for students considering missions and very often
dramatically changes the direction of a student’s life.

IV. CAMPUS LIFE
Founder’s Bible Conference
In the spring semester, we have the annual Word of Life Founder’s Bible Conference honoring the ministry
of the founder of Word of Life, Jack Wyrtzen. Gifted speakers from around the world come and minister to
the spiritual needs of both the students and staff of Word of Life Fellowship.
We consider these conferences to be an integral part of the Bible Institute experience, and all students are
expected to be in attendance for these conferences.
