"I thoroughly enjoyed going through INSTE level 1 and 2. Level 1 really solidified and grounded me in my faith and I think everyone should take Level 1. Level 2 also really solidified and grounded me in my faith. It was a long road, but I thoroughly enjoyed everything I learned. There is a wealth of knowledge and information in those books. If you are called to be a leader I highly recommend taking level 2."

"Disfruté mucho pasando por el primer y segundo nivel de INSTE. El primer nivel realmente se solidificó y me fortaleció en mi fe y creo que todos deberían tomar el primer Nivel. El primer nivel también me solidificó y me fortaleció en mi fe. Fue un largo camino, pero disfruté mucho de todo lo que aprendí. Hay una gran cantidad de conocimiento e información en esos libros. Si usted es llamado a ser un líder, le recomiendo tomar el segundo nivel”.

"It was a tremendous blessing to have studied at INSTE in the company of my wife. Despite all the setbacks, I came to the end with the satisfaction of having grown in the knowledge of the Word of God through the study of each of the subjects. The study of the doctrine of Christ and the history of the church were some of my favorite subjects. Thank you to all INSTE staff for their work in the Lord's work."

"I'm from the Democratique Republic of the Congo, originally from the East of the country. I am married, God has blessed us with one boy.
"Now since I came to the U.S., my ambition was how I can take Bible college courses, but it wasn't easy for me, but thank God in 2012 that is when I found out through Open Bible Church in Cedar Rapids, at that moment I joined the team.
"At that time it was very difficult for me, but thank God because he has a plan for everyone of us. When God calls you to reach out to those who are lost, you will face many challenges, but thank God he gave me strength and courage.
"I didn't know I could make it because when we started we were 8 students, but 5 left we remained 3 students. I'm so thankful for my colleagues and my Mentor for their encouragement."

"Soy de la República Demócrata del Congo, originaria del este del país. Estoy casado, Dios nos ha bendecido con un niño.
"Ahora que llegué a los EE.UU., mi ambición era cómo puedo tomar estudios bíblicos, pero no fue fácil para mí, pero gracias a Dios en 2012 fue cuando me enteré a través de las Iglesias de la Biblia Abierta en Cedar Rapids, en ese momento me uní al equipo.
"En ese momento era muy difícil para mí, pero gracias a Dios porque tiene un plan para todos nosotros. Cuando Dios los llama a tender la mano a los que están perdidos, enfrentarán muchos desafíos, pero gracias a Dios me dio fuerza y valor.
"No sabía que podía hacerlo porque cuando empezamos éramos 8 estudiantes, pero nos quedaban 5 estudiantes. Estoy muy agradecida por mis colegas y mi mentor por su aliento".

"A deep truth that has impacted my life through my studies in INSTE is the concept of the Church, Christ’s Body, being a microcosm of Heaven on earth. As believers in Christ, we are responsible to live righteously; acting and thinking in line with the Word of God. We are living testimonies to GOD’S
Infinite love and mercy when we truly care for each other. We are to walk with our eyes fixed on our hope of glory, Jesus Christ. This is only possible with the magnificent help of the Holy Spirit who abides within every born again child of GOD.
"Thank you to my classmates for hanging in there with me and to all who have made this journey an incredible experience!"

"Una verdad profunda que ha impactado mi vida a través de mis estudios en INSTE es el concepto de la Iglesia, el Cuerpo de Cristo, siendo un microcosmos del Cielo en la tierra. Como creyentes en Cristo, somos responsables de vivir con rectitud; actuando y pensando en línea con la Palabra de Dios. Somos testimonios vivientes del amor y la misericordia infinitos de DIOS cuando realmente nos cuidamos los unos a los otros. Debemos caminar con los ojos fijos en nuestra esperanza de gloria, Jesucristo. Esto sólo es posible con la magnífica ayuda del Espíritu Santo que permanece dentro de cada hijo nacido de nuevo de DIOS.
"Gracias a mis compañeros de clase por estar allí conmigo y a todos los que han hecho de este viaje una experiencia increíble!"

This certificate program is structured around four crucial discipleship habits: personal devotions, Bible study skills, relationships, and ministry. This program focuses on the character development of the disciple. Intensive discipleship (being) plus foundational Bible and theological input (knowing) lead to ministry (doing). Each believer has gifts, talents and skills that are to be used in the Kingdom of God. Through this program, maturing disciples find their places in the Body of Christ, in which they can serve the Lord with joy and effectiveness.
