That's right, you can be "one in a million," according to the vision given by God to Dr. Joseph Kostelnik--to train one million believers for the ministry, who will also use what they've learned to train others!
These courses are full of both doctrinal teaching and practical applications for the ministry. Many of our students have testified that they learned more from these three courses than they did in a four-year Bible college degree program!
We share that kind of testimony to let you know what you will be receiving. Dr. Kostelnik has taught similar courses for other schools, which were priced at several thousand dollars per course.
You are getting this teaching for free! The small fee requested for the printed course is to cover our financial costs of printing and mailing the material. But, the material itself is provided free of charge:
"As you go, preach, saying, 'The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!' Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, and cast out demons. Freely you received, so freely give" (Matthew 10:7-8).
Our primary option is to give you online access to our courses. We now make them available exclusively as PDF files. A PDF (Portable Document Format
) file allows us to put online the same course that we make available in printed format. You may download a free program to view and print PDFs by clicking here.
This also makes it easier for students to download the course for offline viewing and/or printing, giving you, the student, the ability to print only certain pages, or go directly to the last page you read.
Our secondary option is to send printed courses to you via postal mail. As this entails more costs than the online option, we recommend this as a backup option, if you do not have regular or reliable Internet access.

There is a fee of US$25 for the printed versions of the courses, to cover our costs of printing, materials, packaging and postage, but we also offer partial or full scholarships to those who truly cannot afford to pay the small fee.
Regardless of which method you choose, we pray that God will bless your mind as you read, granting you everything you need to absorb the wealth of His Word, as you study these courses!
Once you have registered for a course, we require a minimum of seven days elapse before you may take the exam or register for the next course.
This is to ensure each student actually studies the material, and doesn't attempt to register for the next course right away while skipping the previous one.
Thank you for your understanding concerning this requirement, and we encourage you to take the time to fully study all the material.
