Moody Bible Institute’s Founders Week 2015

Founder’s Week is a Moody Bible Institute annual tradition. Beginning in 1901 it celebrates February 5th, the birthday of pastor and MBI founder Dwight Lyman Moody. Founder’s week has always been completely free of charge. Often Moody alumni come back to Chicago for class reunions during Founder’s Week to experience it all over again.
