Bible school by radio

In Latin America, there are many church leaders who have no access to Bible training, due to cost or travel restrictions.

Without qualified instructors and training materials, it's difficult to grow the next generation of leaders - which is TWR-Venezuela initiated School of the Bible three years ago.

TWR-Venezuela Esecuela Biblica provides a radio curriculum, complementary Bible correspondence courses, and CDs.

The appeal of this format has been steadily growing. This spring, TWR reports at least 50 leaders who have formally registered to receive the lessons on CD and in print, in addition to the radio broadcasts.

Courses are designed to accommodate the registrant's learning pace, and many pastors have little formal education. The fourth installment was recently completed, and now all four courses are available.

Once participants successfully finish the course, they receive a certificate from RTM-Venezuela.

In an effort to further encourage more church leaders throughout the region, the program now airs from TWR's facilities in Uruguay, Bonaire, Venezuela, Chile and Cuba.
