-- This ministry does not personally vouch for, or claim any association with the ministries of individuals receiving our certificates.  In fact: while we do our best to ensure a thorough application process, it is impossible for us guarantee that all who apply and are approved for our course, are always of the standard of Biblical character required for Christian Ministry.  
-- We hold every confidence that the Lord will open and close doors where He sees fit and that He will provide protection from those who would cause more harm in a fallen and lost world.   Our intention is to provide education and encouragement, to those who claim a call to Christian Ministry and then through the lessons and prayer, with faith, provide the opportunity for these individuals to follow the call that God has given to them.
