Zion Bible College, an Assemblies of God institution that trains Pentecostal ministers, has completed its move from Barrington, R.I. to Haverhill, Mass. Zion has, to the delight of local officials, once again brought life to the property that had been the campus of Bradford College, but has been vacant since that liberal arts school closed in 2000. In Globe North, correspondent Wendy Killeen reports:

About 300 students from around the world have come to be trained as ministers, missionaries, and teachers - living and studying on the campus. "We are ecstatic," said Charles Crabtree, Zion's president. "It was done in just a few months and now looks like a really beautiful, classic New England campus. It's a treasure."
