Earn an Accredited Masters Degree
DO YOU DESIRE to earn an accredited
masters degree? n About the Masters Degree Program … HarvestNet took a bold step to achieve a new level of equipping for the Body of Christ in northeast Ohio. We have entered into an agreement with The Orlando Institute to offer qualified candidates a two-year accredited Master of Christian Ministry degree program starting in the Fall of 2005. This new program streamlines our ministry preparation training and adds greater value to that training. The Orlando Institute is an evangelical graduate school of theology located at the headquarters site of Campus Crusade for Christ. Begun in 1948 by the now deceased Dr. Bill Bright, Campus Crusade is the largest Christian ministry in the world, and hugely respected.
n Is HarvestNet for you? I have a friend, a former HarvestNet student, who was hired to be a staff pastor at a good sized growing church in Columbus, Ohio. After graduating from college, my friend worked for a large corporation for several years. In fact, he did this right up until he resigned to accept the open door to vocational ministry in Columbus. He is like many of you. He worked his job and took HarvestNet classes. He was a husband and father raising a family with several small children, and took classes. He sacrificed time, effort and finances – in order to take classes. And he, like many of you, enrolled because he believed God had called him to prepare for vocational ministry. He also understood that God’s Word does not idly say, “Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman who does not need to be ashamed….” Recently he shared a testimony about how thankful he was to God to be able to see a dream unfold that he has carried since before he entered college. He spoke of how he realized that if the Lord had really called him to vocational ministry, then he needed to be more intentional about preparing himself, and that’s why he enrolled in HarvestNet. And then he said something very simple that struck me as quite obvious, but at the same time quite profound. I want to share it with you. He said: “Once opportunity comes, there’s no time left to prepare.” That is a very mature understanding of life as well. If you feel similarly,
and you believe HarvestNet training can help you to prepare for more
effective ministry, then consider the STEPS TO BEGIN listed below to
