Prairie Bible Institute now known as Prairie Bible College is the oldest Canadian Bible school and renowned around the world for its missionary training program. In its eighty-nine years, Prairie has sent missionaries to over 114 different countries. This ultra-conservative school was founded by L.E. Maxwell and operated under the motto of “training disciplined soldiers for Jesus Christ”. Sadly there were many who were deeply wounded in the process of making these soldiers.
Over eighty sexual abuse victims from Prairie Bible Institute have come forward. Many of them were staff kids who have horrific stories of abuse to tell: stories of extreme physical, emotional, spiritual and sexual abuse. We have contacted the administration of the school and asked them to bring in G.R.A.C.E. (Godly Response to Abuse in Christian Environments) to help us facilitate the process of making sure that all the victims are acknowledged and their stories heard.
We have been met with much opposition, stonewalling, and hostility from the school and its supporters.
We, the undersigned, call on Prairie Bible College to hire G.R.A.C.E. to facilitate a process to acknowledge and hear all the stories from the many people who were abused as children by those who were employed or students at the school.
