Ruth Hill - a holistic approach to study

Ruth Hill

My time in IBI was most certainly one of personal expansion, as I grew in the applied word and benefited from meaningful friendships formed throughout my time there. 

Having been for many years a serious student of the Word, I was excited to embark on a new season of more organised and academic study in the Bible. I found the course both challenging and profitable as I have taken with me skills that helped me to approach ministry in a more reflective way. I was especially drawn to the holistic perspective used within the IBI curriculum which highlights a renewed mind, a transformed heart resulting in a practical outworking within my personal relationships. 

The training I received while attending IBI helped prepare me for the next stage of my ministry and has equipped me to serve God and His church in an increasing way. 

 I have the privilege to serve in a leadership capacity on a National ladies team which runs various conferences around the country for women during the year. I am finding that the skills of biblical servanthood, persevering grace and incorporating oneness through diversity, are all helping to produce expansion and development in the body of Christ.   

God is opening doors for both my husband (Larry) and I to serve churches both in Ireland and overseas, establishing and encouraging them through the preaching of the Word.

We are proving St. Paul’s own words... it is neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase (1 Cort.3:7).
