Preparing Ministers Since 1926
The Latin American Bible Institute celebrates its 80th anniversary this year and holds the distinction of being one of the oldest educational institutions in the United States of America.
On October 1, 1926, Miss Alice E. Luce, a former Anglican missionary, and Sister Jovita Bonilla, joined with Ralph and Richard Williams and founded the Latin American Bible Institute in San Diego, California, in conjunction with (then) Glad Tidings Bible Institute. Luce’s vision and determination for a Bible school has remained an underlying factor in the success of LABI.
Experiencing a time of growth, the Institute moved in 1935 from San Diego to nearby La Mesa, California, and then again in 1941 to East Los Angeles.
As more students enrolled for ministerial training, overcrowded conditions made it imperative to find larger facilities. Land was purchased in La Puente, California, site of the present facilities, and by 1950 the school graduated its first class at the La Puente site.
LABI has offered an adequate and relevant education in biblical, theological and ministerial disciplines. Today, reflecting the needs of a multicultural population, instruction is offered in both English and Spanish, thus providing a setting conducive to the development of an effective multicultural ministry. For almost eighty years the Institute’s purpose has been focused on the preparation of men and women who feel a calling from God to enter into full-time ministry or other positions of lay ministry and service.
Incorporated into the above is the urgency of educating a ministry that will serve the spiritual needs of a world steeped in humanism, materialism, hedonism, and secularism. Such a challenge can only be met by a ministry empowered by the Holy Spirit, filled with compassion for a lost world, armed with the sword of the Spirit, consumed by a burning desire to preach the gospel, and full of the love of God.
The Institute’s mission is to effectively prepare men and women spiritually, intellectually and professionally for bilingual and bicultural ministry in our ever changing world.
