Bob & Linda Bates

Their motto is ‘Multiplying Leaders Wherever God Sends’, and Alaska Bible College (ABC) is the latest in a series of assignments that began in Australia many years ago. They love serving God in this remote land of the north. Bob and Linda are passionate about helping people learn and apply God's word to the fundamentals of church life. At ABC, Bob teaches Bible, Theology, and various General Education subjects, while Linda teaches ‘Biblical Womanhood’ to the women students and mentors several of them.

Bob and Linda also help the Mendeltna Community Church, 40 miles west of Glennallen. The church serves small communities of people along the Glen Highway. Bob preaches, and Linda is the Sunday school teacher and helps with VBS. Linda also helps ABC college students in outreach through Good News Clubs.
