In the beginning: Prairie opened
its doors for the first time on October 9, 1922 with eight students
meeting in a small abandoned farmhouse. The campus steadily expanded
as more and more students began arriving, eager to learn from L.E.
Maxwell and numerous other dedicated Bible teachers. Throughout
the past 80 years, Prairie has helped prepare thousands of Prairie
alumni to become faithful servants of Jesus Christ, reaching out
to people in more than 114 countries around the globe.
