MOBC
For the second year, 
32 inmates at West 
Virginia’s maximum security 
prison are taking accredited 
courses in Bible, theology, and 
pastoral studies. The goal of Mount 
Olive Bible College is to train inmates to 
evangelize and disciple their peers inside the 
prison and their communities upon release. 
Bob Sprigg has been named Acting Director of 
MOBC. Pray for this unique ministry 
of ABC as it gains 
momentum.

Adventures include whitewater rafting, caving, 
rappelling, hiking, team building, high ropes course, 
and laser tag. Info: alpineministries.com/adventures.
