White Stone Missions’ main goal is to provide Bible curriculum, materials, and support to men and women in remote locations around the world to equip them with a high quality Biblical education to Disciple their own people and to produce their own Pastors, Missionaries, Evangelists and Bible Teachers. This will end the constant need for Missionaries from the outside and the constant flow of Money. We have provided Discipleship programs in language groups as small as 40 people.
These Biblical Studies Centers (or the name they choose) are owned and operated by the Churches that use the materials. We provide the 4 Part Discipleship Programs in their language. No constant sending of monies is required or desired. Once materials are in their language, the Director takes responsibility for the Learning Center. This includes registering, handing out materials, giving tests, recording grades, etc. They own it! They operate it! The directions are in the materials.
With God’s help we are providing an in-depth, self-contained, Biblically-based curriculum to equip any people around the world, who would otherwise have no access to such materials. They will train their own people to be Pastors, Missionaries, Evangelists and Bible Teachers.
Each Center for Biblical Studies is administered by an indigenous ministry leader who serves as the Director of the Center. In the first year at a Center for Biblical Studies, each student will complete a thorough reading and study of the entire Bible as well as learn how to effectively study book of the Scripture.
Each student is held accountable by the Center Director to follow the syllabus for each course, which includes extensive reading of the Bible as the primary textbook, as well as the completion of detailed coursework and tests in a timely manner. They are also given the opportunity to put the knowledge they have gained to use. Each student is required to serve five to ten hours each week in an approved ministry for the Ministry and Service course.
All of the materials for the classes (using their Bible) are provided by White Stone Missions in association with Charnock Institute of the Bible (charnockedu.com) free of charge to each center location and language. Once established, no more resources, money, or missionary assistance is required.
