Ministry Office: Pastor, Chaplain: Prison/Shut-Ins, Health Care, Police, Fire & Rescue & Military Top 9 Credits: (Cost $89 US) On-Line Enrollment Form The ration of chaplains and services to inmate population is unconscionably inadequate to respond to the pastoral care needs. In the state's largest prison, there is one chaplain for 1750 inmates. The responsibility to change this situation will rest, in large part, with our faith communities.

Ministry Office: Pastor: Youth Top 6 Credits; (Cost $69 US) On-Line Enrollment Form Most youth pastors will come into their
new positions in international churches with the basics of youth ministry tucked safely away under their belts, with all the skills, training and experience needed to do youth ministry effectively and successfully in their home culture. The international community is not their home culture; neither is the local city and country, nor is the church or the school. It can be a huge mistake, and sometimes is a ministry-destroying mistake, to assume that youth ministry in the US, the UK, or Australia (among others) is done the same way as youth ministry in the international church and school context.

Almost two-thirds of the world's population has never heard the Gospel message.
-Over a thousand people groups have never been penetrated for the Lord Jesus Christ.
-Many tribes have never received their first missionary.
-There are approximately 1,700 languages without the written Word of God.
-The world's population will double in less than 50 years.
When we think of statistics like these in terms of fulfilling the Great Commission of Jesus Christ to take the Gospel of the Kingdom of God to every creature, we realize we are faced with a great task. This course is written to mobilize and equip believers to fulfill this great challenge. It is a tremendous task, but it is not impossible. Most courses on evangelism focus only on the command to "go" into all the world with the Gospel. They emphasize preaching and teaching the Gospel message. This course differs because it also focuses on what Jesus said to do "as you go" and the New Testament Church pattern of what to do "while you are there."

Description of Courses and Optional studies
Ministry Office: Prophetic Training: Top 14 Credits: (Cost $122 US) On-Line Enrollment Form Today in the realm of spiritual warfare there is a great movement against the true apostle and the prophet as Satan knows that they are the feet of the body and working in unity they will move the body in the direction that Jesus wants the body to go. Because of this confusion there are today more than 2,000 Christian denominations when really there is only one body. The church for the most part has dismissed in error the offices of the apostle and prophet. Today there is a belief that we should not trust each other but only trust God and while in part that may sound correct as we are to look to Him for all things, that belief also inhibits the very work of the Holy Spirit to work through others. We seem to like messages that we agree with, but
that is not always what is best for us. It is like letting a small child loose in an ice cream store. The reason we were given the apostle and the prophet is that they, when working in unity bring balance to the body and protection for the body against separatism which works to destroy the body today. What happens is that when we do not seem to agree, we have a tendency to start another church or denomination taking others who will listen along. This creates division and weakness in the body and the body cannot stand if it is divided. Our strength in spiritual warfare is in unity and love. Description of Courses and Optional studies

(In addition to the basic study you may also want to enroll in one of the categories listed below for Christian authors. These additional studies can be taken at the same time as the basic course). This study has been written both for those that have written a book and those that have not. The study offers step by step instruction, whether you decide to self publish, go through an agent or broker or through a publishing house this book offers guidance and inspiration from an author that has been through it all. Have you always wanted to write a book, but didn’t know what to write about or how to start? Have you dreamed of being an author, of publishing your own work and earning money from it? If you have direct experience in anything (ministry, testimony, job, hobby, skill, travel, etc.), you can write a book. Stop reading for a moment and think of those experiences about which you could write.
List three of those experiences:
1.
2.
3.
You have just documented three possible subjects about which you could write a book. Before reading this, you had no ideas; now you have three. Are you interested? If so, continue reading. Starting is the most difficult part of writing. Many people become discouraged because they don’t know how to begin. Learn the basics and succeed while others fail. This study helps you start by explaining the simple steps to creating a productive writing environment— one that lets you be an author and work your daily job. This book reveals the secret that no other does—how to start, the first step. Knowing this alone makes it a valuable possession, but there is more.

*Christian Children's Literature, Ages 2-8: There is a great need for Christian Books designed for the developmental years for young people. Often times life's directions for people are chosen by the time they are twelve. The question is whether we go in the direction of the world or we work to edify the body. Children especially need a strong foundation for life's challenges and their foundation needs to be the Word of God but also needs to be understandable to age and grade level. It is at this age that children need biblical concepts and principles that form the foundation for the rest of their lives. All people not just believers make decisions their whole life based on the information that they have received from these years. We all have influences. They are all around us! TV, public school and of course church, but what percentage of their early lives are influenced by the things of God verses the things of the world. "what we dwell on, e become!"
*Christian Children's Literature, Ages 9-12: The next step of development are the ages from 9-12. Already many patterns in life have already been established one way or the other. Even though good and godly patterns may have been established at the earlier years this next period of time is crucial for young Christians as they begin to set patterns for the rest of their lives on earth. When children are younger they need to know the heroes of the Bible but when they get to this age they need to understand not just the heroes but how they became the men and women of God they way they did. How does one apply biblical principles to everyday life? By the time a person has reached this age they either are using biblical principles and concepts which will always bear fruit after its own kind or they will bear fruit of the world. One leads to life and the other to suffering and death. At this point Christian Children should have an idea of how to apply biblical principles to life.
*Christian Young Adults Literature, Ages 13-18: If children have a good foundation from the previous years then the what they have learned from the foundations of what they have learned can begin to be used in application and wisdom to answer all of life's questions regarding some of the following areas of life: Marriage; How does one find the right person? Purpose; What is Gods purpose for believers in general but more specifically how does one find their calling and gifts and learn how to use them? Career; How do we use biblical principles to make a living? What is tithing about and what are the principles of finance used in scripture? Problem Solving; Everyone runs into trouble and challenges but it is how we use biblical principles in everyday life that will determine all outcomes.
*Christian Adult Literature, Ages 16+: In the Garden of Eden there were two trees. The first was the Tree of knowledge of Good and Evil which always brings death. The second was the tree of Life! We as born again believers either choose one tree or the other to eat from and we often eat from the tree of knowledge as we are eager to learn believing that is the right direction to go when instead of building covenant relationship with each member of the body and Him we seek knowledge for person fulfillment. Then that becomes a bigger problem because instead of walking and learning to use biblical solutions and concepts in everyday life we often can quote scripture backwards and forwards not understanding how to live what scripture says, thus living by knowledge and not faith. There is a great emphasis in scripture which is put on faith even though we seem to have a multitude of books based on knowledge. What is the difference? How do we know? How do we write from a position of faith and not just knowledge? These are just some of issues covered in this study.

Optional Programs & Studies, Top
Internship Program:
This program is designed for those that have graduated from the school with the idea of hands on training in the field that God has called them to. This study is designed to further help the student prepare for full time ministry. Each Internship Program is custom designed for the individual student as it helps them to further develop and use the skills that they have learned in a live setting. A student wishing to participate in this program should apply at least 6 months before they expect to graduate so the missions board will have time to properly place the student. This is an important part of the education process, as it will help them further in the financing of their ministry. This also helps the student to work for support in one of several sponsoring churches for the purpose of helping finance their own ministry.

We are responsible…..
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.
