Teachers For The Nations

January 19th, 2010

Teacher for the Nation is one of the schools that Youth with a Mission has to offer and this is accredited through University of the Nation located in Hawaii and Eclesia in Arkansas. When you have completed the course you earn 27 credits towards the degree you are choosing. I have taken several courses that YWAM Tyler had to offer and can truly say that I enjoyed each one very much. This year I am taking T.F.N. and loving every minute of it. Not going to lie….really hard work and long hours just like any other school or work. Jim and Barbara Kilkenny started this school in 1980, the same year they pioneered the Christian Heritage School. I was always terrified of doing T.F.N. because I have been told that is was very challenging and thought provoking. Before starting school…I thought I knew a lot…but have learned how little reasoning power I really had. While you are in the school…this is the kind of curriculum you would be taking: Sentence Analysis, Growing Kids God’s way, History, Philosophy, Education and Government, and Curriculum Development.

History is God’s story of what really happened and the reason we are here today.

I came from Romania and my experience has been that everywhere you go they teach you something different. For example, I was taught in Romania that Ulad Tepes the Impaler was a hero. Someone who loved and protected his country…when I got to America I learned that he was horrible and evil. That is why it is so important to get the right foundations…T.F.N. teaches you how to think govern-mentally and Biblically to reason from the Bible. They teach you to think for yourself and research the truth. People make the mistake of thinking that the school is only for teachers. Not true, it is for anyone who longs to learn how to reason from true principles. The staff is always ready to help in anyway you need. Everyone of the teachers are filled with a passion to teach and make sure you learn to love studying and have fun while you do it. Bet you never dreamed of that. For the first time in my life I love learning for the reason of understanding. It has been life changing for me and because the teachers are all such great teachers and love what they do….they have dedicated their life to teaching the truth to each student.

School Of The Bible YWAM Tyler Texas

January 8th, 2010

School of the Bible is a one year course that is available for you through YWAM. YWAM stands for the Ministry of Youth with a Mission and is located in Tyler, Texas near the airport. The course will go in depth into studying the Bible and learning Greek so you can better understand what the Bible is saying. You will learn about apologetics and thermanectics.

I know these are new words for some, but the school teaches you about all these things and more. It gives you a new perspective on how to read and better understand and apply the Bible to your everyday life. The Bible course is accredited through Eclesia which is located in Arkansas. You will earn 35 credits when you are finished with the course.

Basically it is like going to any college that you choose, only here you get to skip the two years that you have to take Math, English, etc and allows you to get straight to the point of studying the exact thing you want without wasting any time having to take courses that you are not interested in.

I am not saying in any way that there is anything wrong with going through a regular college and taking all the extra classes if that is what you are required to get your degree. I am just merely stating that if you are looking to get closer to God and better understand how to read and understand what the Bible has to say to you personally or about history, the world or any other area of your life than YWAM may your fit.

I took the course and I loved it, because I just wanted to get to know God better and be able to enjoy reading the Bible coming from a right perspective. The staff is excellent and fun, and loving and always ready to help in any area that you may need.

If you choose to go ahead and do the school your tuition will include room and board and yes three meals per day. And if all that is not enough to convince you to join, you get to meet lots of new people just like you who are there to learn about God or work towards getting a degree.

While making friends you are also getting to study and learn more about God’s nature and God’s character. For some it is also a break from real life. Not that this is not considered real life.

To me, doing something like this is like taking a vacation because I will be learning about things that I am passionate about, so it makes it way easier to get up every morning and face the day. So the next time you are wondering what is the next step for you in life, you should consider School of the Bible at the Tyler Texas YWAM base on Christian Heritage campus…it may be exactly what you are looking for.
