Hear from our students and graduates about how NIBS has impacted their lives and ministries.
“I am so thankful to God for NIBS and the vision He has given to Henry John sir to equip pastors and leaders in North India with sound doctrine, helping churches stay rooted in God’s word. After a year of studying at NIBS, my understanding of the Bible has deepened, and I have improved in explaining Scripture accurately. The teachings and professors are outstanding, always giving their best to ensure we fully grasp the lessons. I’m grateful to Henry John sir for the opportunity to study and serve God together. I pray NIBS continues to grow and becomes one of the top seminaries in India soon.”
Silas John
NIBS Student
“NIBS has transformed my life by deepening my understanding of the Bible, preaching, worship, and prayer. I now read Scripture with greater insight, focusing on the author, audience, and context. NIBS has equipped me to confidently prepare and deliver sermons, particularly in children’s and women’s ministry. It has also shaped my worship, helping me focus on glorifying God through meaningful, theologically sound songs. Lastly, prayer has strengthened my relationship with God, as I now pray with purpose, following the example of Jesus.”
Aruna Abigail

“After joining NIBS, my ministry became more practical and productive, as I applied the lessons I learned. It not only impacted my ministry but also blessed my personal life, changing my perspective on family and faith. I now stand on a strong foundation, with a clear conscience and conviction, rooted in the Baptist tradition. I’m committed to upholding this legacy. I am deeply grateful to Prof. Dr. Henry John for his guidance, as his dedication to ministry has both inspired and challenged me, offering not only sound doctrine but also practical support for those seeking to grow.”
Amit Timothy
NIBS Student
“हमारे जीवन और सेवकाई में NIBS का बहुत बड़ा योगदान है। पहले हम वचन को सही से समझ नहीं पाते थे, लेकिन अब NIBS से सटीक शिक्षा पाकर हम अपने चर्च में सही वचन सिखा रहे हैं। आर्थिक रूप से बाइबल कॉलेज में पढ़ना मेरे लिए संभव नहीं था, लेकिन प्रभु ने NIBS के रूप में मेरे लिए एक द्वार खोला, जिससे मैं घर पर रहते हुए ही वचन को सीख पा रहा हूं। मैं परमेश्वर का और डायरेक्टर हेनरी सर का धन्यवाद करता हूं, जिनके कारण यह संभव हुआ, और उन सभी टीचरों का आभार व्यक्त करता हूं जो हमें पढ़ाने आते हैं। हेनरी सर की मेहनत और समर्पण के लिए मैं उनकी सराहना करता हूं। मेरी प्रार्थना है कि प्रभु NIBS और इसके सभी टीचरों को आशीष दे और NIBS को दिन दूनी रात चौगुनी तरक्की दे, ताकि और भी लोग वचन को सीखने से वंचित न रहें।”
