Dear Prospective Students:

The apostle Paul in a letter to Timothy says, "Study to show thyself approved a workman that need not be ashamed rightly dividing the Word of Truth." We should take to heart what the Apostle is saying as there is a great need for education amongst the laity and the leadership in the present day Church.

CCBI is a correspondence college which is meeting this need amongst Christians world wide. We have taken the Great Commission of our Lord seriously and are training laity and leaders internationally. The students who have chosen to educate themselves are being more effective in their personal witness and have aspired to that of Christian leaders among their people, therefore bringing to fulfillment the Call of God upon their ministry.

With this in mind I want to take this opportunity to introduce you to a College through which you can do long distance learning from the comfort of your home. It is no longer necessary to leave your place of residence to study in America, you can now study at your pace without having to disrupt your lifestyle or family. CCBI provides an affordable high quality education for leaders around the world. Our founder, Dr. Raymond Saunders, with hard work and many changes has managed to accomplish this goal in CCBI. He is fond of reminding us, "Many of our students tell me, 'What I study tonight, I use in my ministry tomorrow.'"

One of the things which have so impressive me as I have worked with CCBI is the solid foundation on which this school is built. The resources from which we draw are not, "dead men's words out of a dusty textbook," but ministry experiences from men and women who have proven these techniques in the ministry. They have developed these ministry approaches through years of practical application. What these professors teach is what they have done.

Our academic program offers pastors, evangelists, missionaries and Christian workers a full range of undergraduate and graduate studies, which lead to earned degrees through extension work. Courses are graded individually by professors and communication is readily available with them for questions or further study.

God is blessing CCBI, and it is with anticipation that I invite you to become a part of this great school. I look forward to you becoming a part of our student body.

May the Holy Spirit lead you in your decision!

Dr. Desmond H. Rose. B.A. MDiv. D.Min.
