Southern Asia Bible College

Down in Kothanur, Southern Asia Bible College has its campus right on the edge of Bengaluru. It is a bit quieter here than in the center of the city, though the traffic still finds its way out this way eventually. We have a campus where students come to live and study together for a few years. It’s a place with a lot of books and quiet spots for reading. We have a library that is usually quite full, and classrooms where people sit and talk about history and faith. It’s not just about the classes, though; it’s also about the daily life of eating together and taking care of the grounds. We have some grass and trees that we try to keep green despite the weather. The buildings are older and have that lived-in feel to them. You might see students walking around with their Bibles or sitting in small groups on the benches. Bengaluru is a fast-paced city, but things move a little slower here behind the gates. We have a kitchen that prepares meals for everyone, and the smell of cooking often drifts through the air in the afternoons. Our staff lives nearby and helps out with everything from fixing leaky taps to organizing the schedule. It is a simple, dedicated community of people who have come here for a specific purpose. We just go about our business quietly every day.
