field based School of Biblical Studies

Hi all,

While I was praying and seeking the Lord about what to do while I am in Vancouver and how to keep working towards some of my dreams and visions I felt convicted to spend more time studying His Word. I had heard a lot of amazing things about the School of Biblical Studies (SBS) run by YWAM and I wondered if I could do one while in ministry and it turns out I can. So I will (hopefully) be starting a field based School of Biblical Studies (fbSBS) which is run by YWAM through the internet. I have a big heart for this program because of the skills I will gain from it such as how to do an inductive Bible study and more. These will really give a good foundation to starting a theology degree at Bible college. This is taken from their website:

The nine month SBS is one of the most exciting schools in YWAM’s University of the Nations. This school is now accessible to many more people through this Field Based e-learning format. It uses the powerful inductive approach to Bible study. On completion of the school the student will not only be proficient in using the tools and skills of effective Bible study, but would have applied those skills to every book of the Bible. Understanding the significance of the various kinds of biblical literature and the original setting and culture of each book are an integral part of the inductive approach. The application of scripture, both into one’s personal life and ministry, and into the wider spheres of society are the purpose and specific goal of all of our study. Studying the course alongside base/team responsibilities brings the added dynamic for immediate application of the study into ministry situations. [http://home.ywamelearning.com/?page_id=14]

I have been accepted onto the school and the leadership team here in Vancouver support my decision to do this along side the ministry I do with YWAM here. The only thing that is stopping me from starting is the money. It costs £117 every three months so I am trying to raise that money. If you are able to provide anything towards me doing this school then please use the donation button on the right hand side and specify what it is towards.

Thank you so much for your support, for reading and for praying.

Please never hesitate to write to me with any comments, challenges, encouragements, anything, I love to hear from you.
