As of today, Grace Bible Church is supporting the

Esplins, both of whom are on staff at the Indian

Bible College (IBC) in Flagstaff. Daniel is Director

of Admissions and Coreen is Dean of Women.

Besides those duties, Daniel has started a year-

long discipleship program to help Indian men

understand the biblical concept of warrior-like

manliness (in the image of Jesus). Coreen is

heavily involved in counseling women to help

them break out of the cycle of despair that is so

prevalent on the reservations. They are looking

for new and creative ways to teach Indian men

and women how to mature in Christ and serve

Him as missionaries not only on the reservations

but to the rest of the world.

The Indian Bible College has about 19 full-time

students and 19 part-time students. It is approach-

ing it’s 60th Anniversary in 2018 and is working

toward full accreditation. IBC’s unique focus is on

combining Bible training with discipleship and

vocational training.

Let’s pray for God’s protection for Daniel and

Coreen as they model a godly marriage to their

students. Also pray for their twin daughters,

Maisa and Maia, away at colleges.
