"New Testament Survey"

During His earthly ministry, Jesus made it clear that knowing Scripture was incredibly important in the life of the believer. This "New Testament Survey" class is designed to enrich your study of the Scriptures, so you will be better equipped to share it with your church.

This "New Testament Survey" class summarizes each book in the New Testament, including the author, the people to whom it was written, the purpose of the book, the key verse, list of main characters, and an outline of the content.

The main focus of this class is to dig deeper into the real-life applications of each of the New Testament books. Doing this will ensure that as pastors and leaders, you have a clearer understanding of how to apply these truths to your own lives and how to better teach them to your churches - whether from the pulpit or in day-to-day interactions.

This class is only for the pastor or leader who seeks to be professionally educated in the NEW TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES and desires to lead their church fellowship according to the Word of God before all other issues.

THE NEED FOR BIBLICAL EDUCATION

Over the years, we have discovered a great need in the Philippines amongst established churches. A need for a program of strong and clear “furthering education” in matters such as scriptural knowledge, doctrine, church growth methods, and practical application of fundamental methods of church procedures. We often find pastors with great passion and heart, but lacking in the scriptural and church operations knowledge that traditionally comes through higher Bible school education. Such education is often “out of reach” for many pastors, as their church, family, and financial obligations prohibit such a commitment.

MINISTRY TRAINING INSTITUTE

Shofar Mission has for years conducted multiple training gatherings all around the Philippines, to teach, encourage, and disciple men and women who long to be more greatly used by Christ in the service of His kingdom! Now finally we have been led to coordinate these efforts into a clearer educational objective, with concrete goals and a more ongoing consistent method and approach. After much preparation and prayer, we have established a MINISTRY TRAINING INSTITUTE, under the care and financial backing of Shofar Mission. These higher Bible educational classes are being presented free of charge to you, as we believe it is our calling as a USA mission to cover the costs, and we do not want the lack of finances to prohibit anyone from participating!

CLASSES

Classes will be held at least a couple of times a year. Location and frequency will increase with the demand. We know that church leaders are very busy people. Although sacrifice and commitment must be made by you to grow in this manner, we will seek to operate these classes within days and hours that are best for you to attend. Our desire is to better equip you for the calling upon your life as a pastor or layman in a church congregation. Each class will be presented in a 1-3 day (or evening) setting with a test at the end. All those who complete the class requirements will receive a certificate of completion, and credit towards full curriculum diploma. We invite all those who desire to take just one class, or eventually all of the classes we will be offering. Printed text materials and the teaching of the class will be in English. Therefore, basic understanding of conversational English is a must in order to complete the class!
