Our fourth year, Advanced Biblical Ministries program, began in 1991. It is an internship where our students spend the school year serving with a local church, with a Christian organization or overseas with a missionary. Their time is spent in a concentrated study program provided by NBBI, while serving under the mentorship of a godly Christian leader. The fourth year curriculum consists of tracks in Christian education, missions, evangelism, pastoral  ministry, counselling, youth ministry and ladies’ ministry.

Graduates of the ABM program are given a diploma of Advanced Biblical Ministries from NBBI and a Bachelor of Theology degree from Covington Theological Seminary.

President’s Challenge – The 2009-2010 School Theme

R. Barry Beebe, President of NBBI

The 2009-10 school theme has been “Learning to Walk, to Run and to Fly” from Isaiah 40:31, “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”

I spoke on this theme in our chapels and illustrated it with video, decorative objects, songs, etc. I challenged our students and have been challenged myself to incorporate this truth in my daily life.

Isaiah 40 speaks of a mighty, mighty God who is very, very strong. He is called Jehovah nine times, Elohim seven times and Adonai once. In verses 1-2 He is the Comforter; in verses 3-5 He comes to reveal His glory; in verses 9-11 He is the caring Shepherd; in verses 12-28 He is the Creator; in verse 25 He is the Holy One; and in verse 28 He is incomprehensible.

President’s Challenge – The Disciplined Christian Life

R. Barry Beebe, President of NBBI

To fully follow the Lord Jesus Christ as a genuine disciple will require a spiritually disciplined Christian life. Jesus called His disciples to follow Him, forsake all and bear their cross daily by denying themselves.

Living for Christ in this godless world, controlled by satanic forces and dwelling in bodies cursed by sin and the sin nature, will demand complete surrender to the Holy Spirit and the divine nature given to us through salvation. Any hope of victory or success in holy living, holy worship and holy service will require commitment, dedication and consecration to spiritual discipline.

Self-discipline is a worthy ideal when it is achieved with a sincere, humble heart. Many people have become self-disciplined by force of character, inherited traits, influence of personality, structured programs, leadership, etc. We must however be aware that Read More

R. Barry Beebe, President of NBBI

Do you have a missionary home? Is your family interested in missions? Have you taught and exemplified a missionary life style? Let me explain.

1. Have you and your spouse committed your lives to the Great Commission of our Lord Jesus Christ? Is your life dedicated to glorifying God by evangelism and discipleship?

2. Are you raising your children and grandchildren to consider a life on the mission field; to be open to God’s call to full-time Christian work; to value the privilege of devoting one’s life to the proclamation of the Gospel?

3. Do your children and grandchildren know that you pray for missionaries, give to support missionaries, entertain travelling missionaries and Read More
