Student Services
Top
The student services, designed by the Bible Institute and
School were put together to help you the student in the
direction of ministry. For each of the positions that you
are studying for there are positions open for you upon
completion of your studies and Internship. During this time
God is calling an army of believers together to go and
establish His Kingdom here and now, thus destroying the
works of the devil. The Missions Board will work with you in
the future as you grow as a student and get closer to
graduation.
Our job in
student services is to offer prayer, and support as you go
through the transitional process. We are here to help equip
you in any way that we can for the work that you are called
to do. As we work with you in placement either in the field
or in an Internship, it is our purpose to help you prepare
for the unexpected.
Many times
students have needs, such as temporary job placement or
further financing. Whatever the need, we try and help, even
long distance. Do not feel that you are just a number, you
are an important part of God's Kingdom and you may need help
in preparation for the purpose. Some possible needs is a
better connection to a church or a community, books or
funding for your ministry. These things are all possible in
time and prayer. This is a faith ministry and God has moved
mountains. Today we do not have the answers to all
questions, but by prayer in agreement, much can be
accomplished. God is in the business of miracles and they
happen all the time. Do not hesitate to call or write what
your needs are so they can be dealt with. Our interest in
you is your success in the field.
Academic Advising:
Top
This program is
offered to those that need help in choosing a direction in
which to go. After the direction or the gifts and calling
are found, then it is our job to discern where you are and
where you want to go, and how you are going to get there.

registration fee. Then to recommend the courses that you
will need to be a success in the area that God has called
you in. As we work with you in your studies and your
Internship helping you stay on course, and finally into
placement. This office will work as a liaison in your
Internship and as your advisor. Each student must have an
Academic Advisor to enroll in the school. Advisor help in
placement that is best suited for you. As a part of the
program they will help with career development. This is an
Advisory position that will help in some of the decisions
that you will need to make.
Student
Retention & Termination: Top
Retention is based on two general areas: GPA and adherence
to professional values and standards of behavior. Retention
in the work of the student, no matter that what study,
requires a student to achieve a minimum cumulative grade
point average of 2.0.
In order to
be retained, students must also abide by accepted standards
of ethical and professional practice. When information is
received that the above standards may have been violated,
the faculty may meet in an executive session to review
information. The student will be given the opportunity to
present his or her perspective concerning the situation, and
the faculty will then make a decision concerning the
students retention in the program. Students notified of
termination have the right to appeal that termination
following grievance procedures.
Student Grievance Policies & Procedures:
Top
The school
encourages students to deal with directly any problems that
may arise as quickly as possible. If the real issues cannot
be resolved the school recommends the following:
-
Communicate with the one that you are having the
difficulties with and pray for the individual
-
In cases
involving field placement issues of Intern problems, if
a resolution cannot be reached, the student should talk
with a faculty liaison or advisor and then the
Coordinator of the Intern Program.
-
Finally,
in all cases, if resolution does not occur, the student
should talk with the director of the program.
These
grievances should be done in writing with the student
retaining a copy. In all ways, efforts will be taken to
resolve the issues that the student may have.
Job Outlook:
Top
Employment in
the mission field has been on the increase in the last
years. It is estimated that this year there are 52 million
chronically ill people in this country alone. Besides the
need for adult foster care, hospice, counseling, child
foster care, Fellowship Houses (transitional housing),
healing ministries are almost endless. AIDS is a very
serious problem and no solution unless we as believers and
missionaries intercede for those in need. Many diseases,
including cancers are on the increase, all because of a root
problem sin and unbelief. Marital problems have been on the
increase as there are more and more abuse cases recorded.
Prisons are finally coming to the realization that they do
not have any solutions, except to warehouse. This costs an
average of $30,000 to keep one inmate incarcerated. Also
while this is going on the family of the inmate go on the
welfare roles, increasing the problem. It is estimated that
there are more than 3 million people incarcerated in this
country alone. As these problems increase there is a greater
need for the church to get more involved in the community,
in all areas, to intercede, pray and do the work, becoming
the solution, not increasing the problems in the community.
Teams are
needed more today that in any other time as mandated by
scripture, the harvest is ripe but there are few laborers.
Things are out of balance, and the only thing that is going
to bring it into balance is God working in behalf of the
believers doing, the Word and not hearing only.
Today there
is a need for more than 100,000 workers in the mission
field, just in this country. It is going to take 1 million
people to reach out to 1 billion in need. People today need
real answers to today's problems. They no longer need
religion, they need God, and it is not religion that will
bring them to God, it is you, the called and anointed, that
will bring the good news of son-ship. People are needed in
the medical fields, social services, outreach, hospitals,
hospice, day care, adult foster care, schools, prisons,
business, fundraising, printing, graphics, publishing and
even in sales. In fact, in every direction, there is a need
for a missionary. People are tired of old religious concepts
and secular humanism, needing better answers and
understanding of who Jesus is, and who we are in the body,
and what authority we have through Christ, and what our
purpose is as individuals and as a body.

Graduates who
quickly secure employment or funding usually have something
extra to offer. For example: a person that wishes to be
considered for placement by the Missions Board may have an
alternative way to finance the ministry in which they are
interested, in whole or in part, or they may have extra
skills such as being by-lingual. Other examples may be that
of experience, as how much experience the person has. This
is why we offer the Intern Program, to help establish
credibility and experience. The other thing that should be
considered is the gifts that they can operate in, such as
healing or prophetic gifts.
Many students
may be hired from the Internship Program for full time
missions work. All are called to do the work, in all walks
of life, and many times when we have been faithful in small
things, God will reward. It is important to be organized as
all the experiences that you have, have been ordained by God
for your benefit.
We suggest
that you take courses in the areas of study that you are
interested and be with people who have some of the same
gifts, especially in healing. It is for growth and
experience. You will become that which surrounds you!
Follow the
suggested guidelines and this will help your direction and
increase your being placed greatly:
-
Stay in
the Word, stay focused. Keep the vision that God has
given you, no matter how things may appear.
-
Enroll in
courses that will help you in the direction that God is
leading you in.
-
Secure
experience in the Internship Program. It is practical
experience that will find tune what you have learned.
-
Attend
professional meetings, retreats, conferences and
workshops that will enhance your abilities.
-
Gather
prayer partners as you meet people to pray and as they
pray, God may and will lead them to give. Send them a
monthly newsletter of what is happening in your
ministry. This all helps lay a foundation.
-
Work hard
in the direction that God has called you, when you honor
Him, he will honor you!
