Garland Bible College Unofficial Alumni Site
Garland Bible College of Miller Road Baptist Church- Unofficial Alumni and Attendees
Having found no official Garland Bible College alumni site, I took the liberty to start this unofficial one. We would love to hear from you. Please send a short biography, telling of further education, and work and/or family.
We also welcome prayer requests. Share on Facebook
If you know the whereabouts of former students, staff, or professors please contribute that also.
Some of us have seldom or never heard from anyone since graduating thus the scarcity of the information I can contribute.
Also, we would like to hear from you, even if you did not graduate, but attended.
God bless you,
Don Giddens, Greenville, Texas, Class of 1966. dgem@juno.com
Thanks

Paul's Soulwinning Manual by Don Giddens
My father’s WW II “U. S. Army Manual” was fascinating reading for me when I was a child. The tattered pages proved it had been read over and over, memorized, and thus assurededly put into practice on the fields of Germany. Is there a soulwinning manual still in existence that was used by missionary Paul?
Sure, it’s in I Thessalonians chapter
I Thessalonians chapter 2.
1. For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain: (That is telling us it worked!) But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, (That is telling us it was not easy!)
2. So, the two things we know about this manual are- it works but it’s not easy.
See the manual.
