HISTORICAL SKETCH The Bible Institute is in its thirtysninth year. During these years hundreds of young people have come to her halls and have lighted their torches at her alters to go to dark portions ot the earth holding forth the Word of Lite. Born from the vis- ion, sacrifice, and labors of its founders, the lite of the Institute has continuously been character- ized by these essentials. The antecedent of the Fort Wayne Bible Insti- tute was known as Bethany Home, which was in Bluffton, Ohio. This home was conducted by Mr. and Mrs. B. P. Lugibihl as a retreat for Chris- tian workers needing rest, and for those seeking the Great Physician for physical needs. In a few years the scope of vision was enlarged to include the teaching ot the Bible. It then carne to be known as Bethany Bible Institute and offered courses in Bible, English, and Music.
Later the increased demand for Bible training led to plans to enlarge its quarters and extend its ministry. Thereupon the institution passed into the jurisdiction of the Missionary Church Associa- tion. However, only one semester of school was conducted in Bethany Home: then in the provi- dence of God, a beautiful site was selected at the edge of Fort Wayne, Indiana, where the Bible Training School was established. The school op- erated under this name until l93O, when the name was changed to the Fort Wayne Bible Institute. The school has always been conducted along interdenominational lines. Several denominations are represented on the Governing Board and fac- ulty, and students from twenty-six different de- nominations are in attendance. In 1938 the lnstitute was incorporated and thereby given a solid legal foundation. It is chart- ered by the State of Indiana as a theological insti- tute with the privilege of offering academic and college courses and granting suitable awards for such work. The institute is governed by a board composed of twelve trustees and the president.
