Biblijski institut – Graduation and Opening of the New Academic Year

Graduates and Professors

On Friday, October 7, we celebrated the opening of the new academic year of the Biblijski institut. We have one of the largest incoming classes of new students in several years. This event was held at the largest and most prestigious museum in Zagreb, called Mimara. During the celebration we honored our graduating students for 2011. We had one of their mentors or professors pray over each graduate. We also surprised Mladen and Dragica Jovanović by honoring them with a Christian service and leadership award. Mladen has been a minister in his home country for almost 40 years. He is the leader of the Council of Churches of Christ in Croatia. He has been the president of the Croatian Evangelical Council, and he started what was eventually to be developed into the Biblijski institut. Dragica has been instrumental in children’s and women’s ministries over the years. Croatian National Television was there to cover the event, and had a feature about us on the news that night.
