The Logic of the Study Plan

This plan corresponds to the mentoring process. The initial goal of the mentor is to ensure the student is hearing personally from God out of the Word, being guided by .Him and growing in faith. Therefore, it is essential to start with Avivamiento Personal.

WHY IS IT ORGANIZED THIS WAY?

This study plan is part of the mentoring program. The initial goal on the part of the mentor is to ensure that the student is hearing from God through the Word, guided by Him and growing in faith. This is why we start with the Personal Revival course.

The courses that follow are Christian Leadership I&II. Some sectors of Latin America have only known dictatorial leadership styles. These two courses help the student see a new model of leadership, the christian one, founded on the concept of service, along with practical managerial skills.

After these come two important doctrinal studies: First, Justification. Most students lack a clear comprehension of the foundations of the Gospel and how to deal with the errors of Catholicism.
Then comes a study of the reformed doctrines of grace so the student may catch the vision of spreading the message that God is sovereign.

Finally comes a series of practical studies on themes like how to preach and teach. By this time, the student is already thorougly involved in ministry.
