Bible School Proposal
My 5-year goal after I arrive in Poland is to start a Bible school in the suburbs of Warsaw, Poland that will be connected with Berean Baptist Church in Otwock, Poland. Only a handful of small, faithful evangelical churches exist in the Warsaw area. These churches (especially the church leaders) are longing for deeper Bible knowledge. I will teach alongside Dr. Mike Peterson, Pastor of Berean Baptist Church in Otwock, Poland. We will be training pastors and laymen from surrounding churches. In two years, Dr. Mike Petersen and I will start Bible training in the Petersen’s home, while we lay the foundation of a Bible school next to the Berean Baptist Church in Otwock. I will use the Berean Baptist church auditorium at the start, but in the mean time I will start construction of our own facility where Dr. Peterson and I will hold our Bible School. …show more content…
The supplies needed for the entire building will include the wood structure and wood flooring, brick walls, a tile roof, a metal fence and gate, chairs, a kitchen (stove, microwave, sink), and all the plumbing involved with the kitchen and bathrooms. The price for the wood will be $100,000. The bricks will be $200,000. The kitchen and plumbing will be 50,000. Also, securing government approval and fire codes will cost $100,000. This is a grand total of $450,000. Since the building process will requires highly trained professionals to perform all the work involved, I plan to organize a building team of experienced constructors. To accomplish this building plan, I will ask my sending church, Trinity Bible Church, to formulate a small mission team to come out for a month to lay down the foundation of the Bible School, and build as much of the interior as time will allow. My brother, Michael Ritschard, who is an experienced carpenter, has agreed to head up the small team of

    Scripture has so many fulfilling riches that are missed because preachers fail to spend time in the scriptures, but the scripture alone is a wonderful place to begin to seek sermonic ideas. One of the biggest down falls of preachers is that they don’t spend enough time in the scripture. It is hard to say that preaching comes from the scripture, but the preachers don’t have a firm understanding of what is found in…

    Lori, I truly enjoyed your interview response on Reverend Jennifer Beagle. I can agree with her statement on developing a ministry, “It’s a battle worth fighting, suit-up, buckle-up, and don’t doubt that God is in everything. Find God in every circumstance and view people as creations”. (Beagle, 2015) Just as the varying parts of the human body need each other to best accomplish its work, so the Body of Christ needs to function interdependently, like a team. (Rom. 12:4-8; 1 Cor. 12:12-27) God so designed the Church that it "grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work". (Eph. 4:16) Christian leaders are servants. Jesus specifically addresses servant leadership…

    Conscious of their own defects, they endeavor to improve themselves, but the absence of a guide, their need of books, and their scanty time, all prevent their making progress. These are the men whom the Pastor’s College welcomes… The College aims at training preachers rather than scholars. To develop all the faculty of ready speech, to help them understand the word of God, and to foster the spirit of consecration, courage, and confidence in God, are objects so important that we put all other matters in secondary position. If a student should learn a thousand things, and yet fail to preach the gospel acceptably, his College course will have missed its true design (Spurgeon 2011, Location 63 of…

    This study arrangement is a concern with mentoring spiritual leaders. “Shepherding those who shepherds the Lord’s flock. The author, Edward Smither, opens with a question of how could a fifth-century African bishop be relevant to the twentieth-first century?” When it comes to mentoring spiritual leaders, Smither uses Aurelius Augustine or Augustine of Hippo, as an example of how to mentor others. Smither mentions that “so many pastors are in a struggle with isolation because they have no one to mentor or nurture their souls.”…

    Without Christ, there can be no Christian discipleship. Christ is the teacher, friend, leader, guide, savior and Son of God who is the central part of Christian discipleship. 1 John 5:20 says, “And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.” To be a disciple of Christ, one must acknowledge Jesus as the central part of discipleship.…

    The New Testament begins with Paul’s three missionary journeys, in which his mission was to plant churches and teachings about the Lord. It is safe to say there were many other great church planters after the death of the apostle Paul, such as Peter and John. I plan to elaborate on the main issues facing each of the churches addressed by the General Epistles.…

    This mission reminds us that for the Kingdom of God to continue to break in, individual lives need to be changed, while being motivated and equipped for transformation. Our Book of Discipline offers this cue: “God has used our church to save persons, heal relationships, transform social structures, and spread scriptural holiness, thereby changing the world.” When we change lives and introduce people to the all-loving nature of God, we indeed transform the world. When making disciples, the Church welcomes people into community, educates them on God’s call for Christians, and equips them toward using their spiritual gifts to serve as change agents playing a role in bringing about the Kingdom of…

    The Jesus Creed has really helped me to look at Scripture from what I believe is a more biblical and Jesus centered perspective. While I have read the words Jesus used from Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and Leviticus 19:18 many times in Scripture, I never considered how all His teachings might have stemmed from them. I did not know Jesus had amended the Shema of Judaism because I didn’t know there was a Shema before reading this book, but now knowing this I can more clearly see what Jesus was doing. He was correcting a misunderstanding how some used and understood the Torah. Most paid excellent attention to the letter of the Law; however they had failed to grasp the message that God had called them to partake in His redemptive mission. Just as the Israelites got tangled up with the letter of the Law and missed their calling, are we as the Church today also failing to answer the same call? I believe it’s far too easy to make a case that we are, especially in America. Jesus redefines what it means to love God, instead of showing love to God by observing the Torah, Jesus calls people to follow Him, and in doing so He equates loving God to having a personal relationship with Himself thereby amending the Shema, making it personal. Next, He adds to the Shema by using a Leviticus passage saying “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love of God and love of others is the core of Jesus’ Shema and loving God means following Jesus. McKnight believes the Jesus Creed is the foundation of everything Jesus teaches about spiritual formation and after having read his book I have to say I agree. Everything Jesus does is out of love for God and for others as illustrated time and time again throughout the Gospels.…
