THE MANDATE
The mandate God has given to the President and founder revealed in (EXODUS 18:19-21), is to teach His Word, show His people how to Walk and the Work they must do just as Jethro encouraged Moses. Therefore, our focus is the WORD, WALK and WORK.
- To teach the WORD: To create a Biblical worldview of His people as opposed to the worldly humanistic worldview. Teaching God’s ordinances, statutes, precepts and doctrines based on the Bible is central to the Institute.
- To show the WALK: The Christian life is not just knowledge, but a practical application of divine wisdom in our daily lives. The institute purports to show students how to walk so they can please God (1Thessalonians 4:1-7, Colossians 1:9-11).
- To show the WORK: Training and equipping God’s people to do God’s work is central to the Institute. The church is the physical Body of Christ and is therefore commissioned to continue His work of Church building and development in the quest of “making disciples”
