OVERCOMERS CHOIR
The Overcomers is the travel choir for
Ozark Bible Institute and College. The choir
travels nation-wide sharing the gospel in
sermon and song. It consists of 30 student
voices and has been directed since 1973 by
Brother David Branham and assisted by his
wife, Lorraine Branham. He is the son of
the late Reverend D.C. Branham, founder of
the college.
The choir ministers at our annual convoca-
tion held at the college in October. They travel
on weekends throughout the school year. At
the end of the spring semester, they travel for
an extended tour of two weeks ministering in
different parts of the nation by request.
SERVANT’S HEART OUTREACH
Servant’s Heart is a ministry of “helps” (1
Corinthians 12:28) providing students with
a hands-on, practical approach to ministry
as well as offering a helping hand to work-
ers already serving in churches across the
nation. The team consists of 10 students
eager to preach, testify, sing, teach in Sun-
day school, help with children’s church, or
minister in drama. Servant’s Heart also en-
courages evangelism with local youth groups by special services and fellowship as
well as assisting in community outreach. The team travels weekends throughout
the school year, and is led by student Craig Dodson and directed by Mike Shelton.
STUDENT COUNCIL
I really appreciate the hard
work of this dedicated group of
students that make up the student
council. Throughout the school
year they coordinate the breakfast
bar, have regular planning ses-
sions, and keep student life run-
ning smoothly. The real work be-
gins when Decision Days events
must be planned. During this
time, they work tirelessly behind
the scenes to make sure that each
visitor is taken care of and shown
how things work at Ozark Bible Institute and College. I am grateful for their dedica-
tion to the spiritual atmosphere of the school. (Mike Shelton, Director) 5
ACADEMIC DEAN
I thank God for the opportunity that Ozark Bible Institute and
College has given me to fulfill God’s call upon my life. After grad-
uating in 1989, when we were leaving Neosho to go to Texas,
as we passed Taco Gringo’s restaurant the Holy Ghost spoke to
me that we would be back to teach someday. I told my wife, and
we both wept in the presence of the Lord. God had some work
to do on me to get me ready, but in 1997 we returned to teach. I
stayed seven years and then was gone for two years. When we
Mike Shelton returned in 2006, I became the Dean of Students, and then in
Academic Dean 2011, the Academic Dean. I said all of this to say that the work
and will of the Lord will take you to many places, but it all starts
with a desire to find and fulfill the call of God on your life.
When I went to the first church service at Bible Holiness in the fall of 1997,
the altars were covered with white paper and prayer requests were written all over
them. During the altar call, I knelt down and to my surprise right in front of where
I was praying, there was a prayer request that read like this: Lord, please send
some instructors that feel like it is their calling to teach at Ozark Bible Institute and
College. I reached into my pocket, pulled out my pen, and wrote—“answered,” my
name, and the date. God not only answered their prayer, but He answered mine
as well. Now it could be that your next move is to come to Ozark Bible Institute
and College to make yourself available for whatever He wants to do in your life. I
can say this without reservation, that being in the will of God is the most satisfying
feeling you will ever have in this life.
STUDENT TESTIMONY
From the time I was young, I knew God was drawing me to OBI.
As I prayed about coming to Bible school, it was as if I could
hear a still, small voice beckoning me to a purpose greater than
myself. It wasn’t until God opened my ears to hear the desperate
cry of lost souls during my Freshmen year at OBI that I began to
understand what that purpose was. I will never forget the service
where God spoke clearly to my heart, saying “Your calling is to
win souls, anything else is direction.” From that moment on, I
Marisa Martinez have found purpose everywhere I go, from the nursing home to
Junior the jail cells.
God deals with individuals in many different ways, but He saw fit for OBI to be
the place where He would give me a vision of His heart for humanity. As you read
this, you may be hearing that same still small voice as I did drawing you to come
to OBI. Or, maybe God has already made it clear to you that He wants to use your
life, and you are reluctant about following His will. Whatever your situation, you
will find that God has a far greater plan for you than what you could have imagined.
If you will let Him, God will use OBI to transform you in such a way that life is no
longer about you. I pray that you will choose to come to a place where you can
hear God’s voice and catch a glimpse of His heart.

DIRECTOR OF CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
Whether administered by the parents or the Christian
school teacher, Christian Education is instruction based upon
the principles of God’s word. Its nature is both spiritual and
academic. The Christian School is an extension of the home
and church in carrying out the Biblical mandate of training.
Teaching is not a mere occupation (James 3:1), but like other
areas of ministry, God chooses individuals to work through, in
order to carry out His work. Truly, teachers are a gift (Ephesians
David Schminkey 4:11). At Ozark Bible Institute & College, it is our desire to “Be a
Christian place were God can help Himself to young peoples’ lives”. Our
Education Christian Education program is intended to help equip those
who God chooses to minister through in this area.
CONVOCATION October 19-22, 2020
Convocation is a time that camp-
meeting type services are held on the
campus of OBI. The dates for 2020 are
October 19-22. Night services are Mon-
day through Thursday. Separate morn-
ing services for adults and children are
Tuesday, through Thursday with youth
services Tuesday and Thursday after-
noon. We invite all to attend.
STUDENT TESTIMONY
Why OBI? I was not specifically called to OBI. I actually did not
feel any specific calling on my life at all. I just knew that the
harvest field is ready for harvest. I came to OBI because I really
did not know what to do after I graduated from high school. I
knew I wanted to do a work for the Lord and OBI seemed like a
good place to find the next step for my life.
OBI has been a complete life-changing experience for
me. I was saved at a young age, but during my junior and senior
David Lloyd years of high school I really began to grow cold in my walk with
Sophomore the Lord. I was in a very dangerous place in my life. I knew that
I had grown cold and I really didn’t care. I came to OBI and God
did an amazing work in my life. It was at OBI that I regained my love for the lost,
my passion for prayer, and a hunger for the Word of God. OBI has truly been a
place where God has reached down and helped Himself to my life.
During my time at OBI, my life has been completely surrendered to the
plans that God has for me. It has been a place where I have been able to lay
foundational stones necessary for future ministry. It has been a place of refuge,
with an environment to draw nigh unto God. To summarize what OBI has been
to me would be; “Life changed, so that lives can be changed.” If you have the
opportunity to go, don’t miss it, it will change your life. 7
STUDENT TESTIMONY
In the summer of 2019, I decided to answer the call of God on my life
to go to Ozark Bible Institute and College. I had previously believed
I should go to OBI when I attended Decision Days in 2016. Whether
or not I should have come in 2016 versus 2018 I may never know.
But I do know that the Lord has given me the best experience I
could ask for. In my two years here I have learned how to study the
Bible, including specific facts about the history of the Old and New
Testaments, how to construct speeches, how to teach, and more
Micah Sims than in just the classes alone. In the practicums, weekend outreach
Sophomore ministry, and the opportunity to work in summer group, I have learned
how to reach for the hurting, lost, and discouraged Christians in a more Christ-like way.
I have learned the importance of missions at home and abroad.
OBI has given me opportunity to use what He has given me for the Lord. More
than this, it has taught me the importance of using what God has given me for Him.
One of my favorite quotes that I have come across this year sums up the passion for
souls that God has given me through OBI, press into God. Stay there until you long
to go out in His Name. Only then will you be able to trust your heart if you hear God
say “stay.” Only those who long to broadcast His glory to the nations have the right
to stay. Your greatest dream is that His Name will be praised in languages never
before heard in Heaven.
STUDENT TESTIMONY
Looking back a few years ago, I remember seeing students from
Ozark Bible Institute and College preaching the vesper services
and doing such an amazing job. But I knew I could never get to
that point as a Christian to get up in front of people and preach.
I was saved at the second camp I had ever been to. I wasn’t raised
in a Christian home. I was just a kid that the church bus picked up
every week. I was raised under an amazing pastor, Brother James
Cain. I was able to start growing as a young Christian, but in my
Caleb Middleton eyes it was not enough. I wanted to know more. In 2017 I was
Sophomore called to preach at a Russellville Youth Camp, and that is when the
desire of learning the Word became stronger in my heart. As I stated before, I was
not raised in church. The only thing I knew from the Bible was from what my pastor
preached in the services. I really didn’t start to read my Bible until I was called to
preach. I soon realized I knew nothing spiritually. I tried to read and understand as
much as I could and I did learn a lot, but it wasn’t enough.
A good friend of mine was attending Ozark Bible Institute and College and I had
seen growth in him not only in his own life but in his preaching. So I prayed and
prayed until the Lord confirmed that His will was for me to go to OBI. My, what a
blessing it has been for me. Not only has OBI helped me to learn and understand
the Word of God better, but it has given me the opportunity to minister and put what
I have learned into action.
Being in OBI Outreach and going to different churches and preaching, teaching,
and ministering, is not the only thing about OBI, but it has opened doors and allowed
me to be trained to become the best man of God that I can be and to do what He
