For quite a while now, we have wanted to share what God has been doing through the Bible correspondence course ministry here at the Temuco Bible Institute. This ministry provides Bible book courses and Bible doctrine courses for free to those who commit to reading them and filling out the questions. These courses have been able to go places we could have never imagined...more about that later.

Located at the downtown Bible Institute building, the Bible Correspondence Course office is open several days a week for people to stop by to either purchase courses, turn in their completed courses, pick up their next course, or just talk to someone about spiritual things.
Gaby Beyer, our German co-worker, has been overseeing this ministry for many years. She is in charge of the purchase, promotion, distribution, and correction of each Bible course booklet.

There are several groups who are taking these doctrinal courses from local prisons, local Catholic and Pentecostal churches. Those who take these courses are looking for solid doctrine. Many times their own church is NOT teaching them the Bible, so they turn to the Temuco Bible Course ministry for help.

It is exciting to hear of how God is working through these courses. Every Thursday, our missionary co-workers meet for prayer time, and Gaby often tells us of new testimonies of those who have benefited spiritually from the Bible courses.

The Bible course ministry was started many years ago by a GMSA missionary (Janet Drukenbrod). The ministry has gone on ever since and, Lord willing, will continue in the future until the Lord returns.

In the back storage room, the extra Bible courses are kept and organized until orders come in for certain titles. One recent blessing of this ministry is that Mauren, one of my BI students, has been working part time with Gaby in the Bible course ministry. This has provided her a great opportunity to grow in her spiritual walk while correcting the courses and answering the questions that people write on the sides of the pages.
