Curriculum Policy Statement for Programs

In Mission's Work Education

1. Scope and intent of policy statement: This document sets forth the official curriculum policy for the missions program for Our Daily Bread, Bible Institute & School, Missions, and Ministries.

2.0 Premises underlying missions work education:

2.1 Purpose: The purpose of missions work is to do the work that Jesus did as He was sent here to establish the Kingdom of God here on earth at the same time destroying the works of devil. This means that Jesus opened the eyes, healed the sick, cast out demons, interceded for the lost, reconciling man to Himself and the Father. We as believers are called upon to go ye into all the world and preach the gospel, baptizing in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching to observe all things. The good news is not just for tomorrow, but today as it brings us, His sons the power of God to overcome all things of this world, learning to stand on His promises.

2.2 The purpose of education is to teach others how to do the things that Jesus did, how He prayed, and what He prayed for. The other purpose of the education is to give hands on experience in the Internship Program in the field that they have been called. This hands on experience will help the student further themselves in the gifts that God has given them.

2.3 That the further purpose of the Bible Institute & School is to show that we can be victorious in life as Jesus already paid the price for the victory.

2.4 Effective missions work, educational programs, recognize the interdependence for nations and the worldwide need for cooperation.

2.5 Further purpose is to teach people how to be leaders in their community as we are as strong as the weakest, being here to serve.

3.0 Purpose of Mission work:

3.1 Establish the Kingdom of God on earth and destroy the works of the devil: We as believers have all been called to be Ambassadors for Christ, being ministers of reconciliation. To heal the sick, open the eyes of the blind, helping others. When we do this as a body the face of the earth will change as we can end disease, wars and other disasters.

3.2 The further purpose of mission's work is to enhance the relationship between the person we are dealing with and God. We are to work to end oppression, sickness, poverty and starvation.

3.3 That the reason things are the way they are in the world is because we the believer have failed to realize who we are in Christ, our authority and the accountability that goes with the power. That we as a church, instead of putting Satan under our feet, have allowed the devil to operate.

4.0 To teach and lead the world to freedom:

4.1 Jesus healed the sick and open the eyes of the blind, as he taught the disciples how to fish and do the things that he did. Jesus said that we will do the things that he did and greater. If these things are not happening it is because of disobedience on the part of the church.

4.2 Teaching them to observe all things: One of the things we are to do as believers, after we have done the things that Christ did, is to show others how to do them. First Corinthians 11, looks at the Lords Supper and it warns that anyone that takes the bread and the wine in an unworthy manner will sleep. The next three chapters deal with Spiritual gifts. It is the body, the bread that the believer has not understood, denying the power of the Holy Spirit. It is the job of the missionary to walk in the truth and the light of the good news.

5.0 Population at risk: Today, more than ever we need all believers to come together in unity and in purpose for the work of the Lord. All areas are at risk, home, schools, work, communities, states, countries, and the world as Satan has for to long had free reign at the expense of God, Christ, and the body.

That it was the intent of salvation to bring the person back to God as Adam was before the creation of sin. That we need to be creatures of faith, not being persuaded by what we see or hear, but what the Word has told us to do, establish the Kingdom of God here on earth and destroy the works of the devil. Because of the failure of the church and its purpose, its mission, the earth, and all on it are at risk.

6.0 Practice: It is the practice of the missionary to put the principles of Christ to work, making a stand. It is a time when for the moment Satan has almost destroyed anyone who he can. The missionary needs to be an overcomer and needs to show others how to take back that which he has stolen. It is a battle for life, and should be approached in that manner. The missionaries focus is to bring unity and purpose to the body. It is a practice that puts others first, before themselves, always looking at what is best for the body. It is these practices, which show others that we are sent from God to do a work and with His power and anointing the job can get done. It is the practice to take the assignment personally as no other could. The attitude must be at all times that we are sent of God and sent to get the job done.

7.0 Internship: It is the intent of the Internship program to put the student in a live hands on experience to further prepare them for ministry. This is done by putting them in the middle of even bad situations, so the student can be stretched and molded further. It is a point when the student needs to be able to look to Jesus for all the answers with the help of the liaison from the school, working with the Missions Board. It is a time to put to practice the principles that they have learned in the school.

8.0 Avenues of Renewal: The school feeds the ministry, which feeds the Missions Board, who reach out and begin the cycle again. The purpose is to train disciples out of all nations, dependant on Jesus for the answers, linking the body together across the globe for support. It is the intent to seek 1 million, to reach out to 1 billion, supplying the needs of the community, physically, and spiritually. This was the intent of the first church as it was a representation of the community. It is the purpose of Our Daily Bread, Missions, Ministries and Bible School to equip believers for the purpose of finding the persons' ministry, teaching, leading by the Spirit, equipping them for the battle. Every time that a believer becomes established in Christ they become a beacon of light. Jesus was the light of the world, but joined together in unity and purpose we can light the world together.

We, through Christ can do all things!

When anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help, We want our hand always to be there. For that  we are responsible.

We are responsible both to God and each other.

"Together we can make a change, we can make a difference!"

"God gave us His Son, Spirit, Love, Direction, Purpose, Gifts, and free will. He gave us all the basic tools to either care for Him and others or care just for ourselves. 

It is a choice either way, to either learn to work together to solve problems, but at the end, when it is all said and done, our true hearts will be exposed. We are given two things to do, love God and love our neighbor as ourselves.
