Church Based Bible Institutes

Over the years many of you reading this blog have received your ministry training through Logos Christian College and Graduate Schools. It has been our privilege to serve you, your home church and the greater Kingdom of God.

Did you know that there is an even greater way to multiply your ministry? One of the things we enjoy doing is helping our graduates and pastors of churches start a Church Based Bible Institute or College. You can train your workers and thereby make your church more effective by becoming a Logos affiliate.

It's a lot easier than you may think. You can contact Misty Lapinski, our Executive Director of Logos Educators Network and she can provide you with all the details. In a relatively short time, you can be offering courses for Institute and even College credit. Those students who are called to ministry don't have to leave your church to train. They can be trained according to your church's emphasis and theological distinctive. They can apply what they are learning immediately in the context of your Sunday School, home groups or men's and women's ministries. The low cost of tuition makes it affordable to the students and of great benefit to the local church. The advantages are many.

Our affiliates are able to offer quality instruction complemented by Logos faculty as needed. If you are interested in starting a Church Based Institute or College, don't hesitate to call us. We want to partner with you to help you expand the influence of God through your ministry more effectively.

Making Wise Invesments

“She considers a field and buys it; from her profits she plants a vineyard. She girds herself with strength, and strengthens her arms. She perceives that her merchandise is good, and her lamp does not go out by night. (Proverbs 31)

Of the 4000 plus students enrolled in the various Logos schools in 30 different countries, over 60% of them would never be able to obtain an education without the scholarships provided by Logos. Orphans are being feed, curriculum produced, churches planted, Bible schools established, prisoners trained, jobs created, and the body of Christ equipped through your wise investments in Logos and I can assure you that the dividends are well worth the investment!

When you read the story of the virtuous woman in Proverbs 31, one cannot help feeling a sense of vicarious pride in her achievements through wise investments, creativity and hard work. Truly a role model for all of us! She would have a hay day on Wall Street if she were alive today, or would she?

When you move in a little closer to this wise investor you will quickly discover her motives and goals were a bit different than many of the modern day market place traders wanting only to ‘get rich quick’ regardless of the cost to others and in many cases focusing only on themselves. Not so with the Proverbs 31 Lady. Her focus was on her family, friends and those less fortunate than herself. Oh yes, she invested to make a profit and took that profit and re-invested for even greater profits and then cheerfully shared the increase with others. Her wise investments produced great dividends for herself and her family.

You will note that she invested in the tangible and intangible. Her tangible investments were in products such as real estate, produce, goods and services, etc. And the intangibles were represented by her family, friends and the poor. Her tangible investments produced tangible returns and her intangible investments produced the blessings and favor of God on all that she touched!!

Having invested in Logos over the years, you know exactly what I mean. While you may not see Logos listed on your investment portfolio showing the percentage of your gain or loss, I can tell you that there is an increase on your investment. Both in heaven and on the earth!

Through your investment in the ministries of Logos around the world the dividends are increasing and even compounding daily.

In order to make your investment grow even more we are doing everything we can to be wise stewards of the trust you have and continue to show in us. That is why I am never embarrassed to share with you new INVESTMENT opportunities in the kingdom work through Logos. We are in need of: resources for better media equipment to produce our on line courses. Funding for additional staff to help serve our students more effectively, donations for our depleted scholarship fund for foreign students and those incarcerated, additional sponsors for our missionaries, orphans, and short term teaching and work teams. I know you know a good investment when you see one, and Logos truly fits the template.

We have made it easy for you to invest in what God is doing through Logos. Just click DONATE NOW and make a wise investment and increase your Kingdom dividends. Then visit the blog in the near future and we’ll give you an update of where your investment is making a difference.
