Burning Bush International
Bible Institute
by Stephen E. Jones 1/04/07
In the past year I have been working closely
with Robert Burgess on setting up an online Bible School. This came as the result
of a prophetic word given to him over a year ago to set up a Bible School. He
contacted me not only for confirmation of the word but also for help with the
curriculum. I have known Robert since 1994 when we both lived in Washington
State. I taught "Secrets of Time" at his house for many months with
my chart. I believe in helping people with their callings in any way that I can,
and so I was led to participate in this project as well. In fact, I have long
wanted to do something like this, but never seemed to have the time. I knew it
would require someone else to do it who had that calling. The Lord found Robert
Burgess. There are workbooks for each course in this school, based upon
each text book. Robert has coordinated the work book projects as well as the people
who are willing to check the answers when students send in the answers to the
questions. There is a nominal tuition charge, all of which will go toward
the expenses of the School. But we are also working to find "Scholarship"
money for those who cannot afford the tuition. We really do not want to turn anyone
away for lack of money, because that would defeat our main purpose. There will
also be the matter of purchasing the text books, but since I publish most of them
myself, and put all of my books online free of charge, this should not be a financial
burden to anyone. All interested prisoners will be given scholarships, as
we do not expect them to pay tuition costs. And since they do not have access
to the internet, their workbooks will have to be handled by the postal service,
rather than online. This online Bible Institute is the most inexpensive
way to teach the Scriptures. We do not have to buy land and buildings. We have
very little overhead in comparison with "regular" schools. Most of our
help is voluntary or paid only nominal amounts. None of us are doing this for
a living, but because we believe in it and have the calling to do our part. We
are not going to try to gain "accreditation" as such. We want no government
agency to tell us what we can or cannot teach. Even so, we will be issuing Certificates
for each degree. These will not be of much use in a denominational church, of
course, because they will only be impressed if you go to one of their schools.
Our purpose is to teach the Scriptures in a more coordinated manner and to recognize
each student for his/her diligence in completing the curriculum. This learning
will also help to prepare those who feel called into any particular type of ministry,
pastoral or otherwise. Those who are interested should go to the following
web site. It will give you overviews of the curriculum as well as an online form
that you can fill out if you are interested in enrolling.
