Church Based Leadership Training is a Bible College type ministry using the extension method of holding local church-based training classes for the 5 categories of men given to the church according to Ephesians 4:11. The BEE program uses a discipleship method of training laymen for active or full-time ministry on a local church basis. This ministry closely follows Jesus' and Paul's example. To accomplish this CBLT uses a three pronged emphasis in the preparation of church leaders. The three main components are: Academics, Character Development, and Ministry skills. 1. Students receive Biblical and Theological preparation during personal study time and seminar discussions. 2. The personal development of Christian character skills and values, which promotes diligence in serving Christ, is a main focus of the teaching. 3. Practical ministry experience. Each course has many hands on assignments. Students complete the assignments as work for that course. The emphasis is on developing the student's character by using academics as a tool. The result of developing character is greatly benefited by spiritual productivity, measurable in the form of ministry skills. Students who do exactly as prescribed in Ephesians 4:12 have made this ministry extremely blessed and fruitful. They follow the instructions Paul gave to Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:2. BEE disciples through a curriculum consisting of 20 courses, building church leaders right in their own local churches and country. The courses survey topics such as Basic Christian Life, Galatians and Romans, Evangelism/Discipleship, New Testament, Old Testament, How to study the Bible, How to Teach, Christian Life and still others. The BEE Crimea core prepares existing untrained local laymen to become active and possibly full-time church leaders. A note about the uniqueness of the BEE Crimea ministry: It is seminars-not seminaries | going (instructors traveling)-not students coming | discipling (modeling)-not teaching | discussion-not lecturing. Transferable curriculum | limited time frame | local responsibility from the beginning | NT small group oriented church structures | student oriented-not teacher oriented. Academics (know), Character development (be), and Ministry skills (do); (know-be-do). Our focus is on people, not materials or buildings. Foreign induced "by extension" becomes nationally owned "church-based" education. The Ministry has sufficient character and denominational acceptance to offer degrees. Degrees will be a combination of academics, character above reproach, and active ministry. BEE Secrets to Success has been: 1. Practical assignments based on the course under study. 2. Trainees receive course training by successful students who completed the same course. The crucial element of this ministry is Matt. 28:19: "Go" not "Come". So, the course coaches go to conduct classes in local churches. The students do not come to a stationary program. Another unique BEE focus is to develop a team of local church leaders as according to Eph. 4:11. BEE Crimea is a ministry that not only prepares church leaders but also simultaneously prepares specially gifted nationals to train others. A specific leadership program (LTS) is offered in workshop format to progressing students. The outcome of this training is the establishment of regional Training Centers using the "Church Based" method of teaching and discipling. Because of the "GO" emphasis, they are called BEE CBLT Centers (Training Centers) rather than Bible Colleges. Each province has such a BEE Center from which the course coaches are sent out to conduct discussion seminars in local churches. The results have been blessed phenomenally. Demographic studies of previously resident areas are completed in order to plant new churches. Course coaches and students use the summer season to plant new churches on the basis of the demographic studies. Several new churches are established annually and preparations are made for multiplying churches throughout the nation. This ministry truly has become a miraculous movement of the Lord. BEE trains ten times more students in Ukraine than all other organizations put together. Yet the training costs of BEE students are less than one tenth of others. We truly thank God for that. The fruit and blessings that the Lord has bestowed upon these efforts in numerous countries has been phenomenal and totally beyond our imagination. Some have called the movement that the Lord has begun here a modern miracle, a re-enactment of the Book Of Acts in modern times. We are humbled by the privilege God has given us and praise Him with grateful hearts. Hallelujah!
