World Wide Bible Institute Now Online at wwbionline.org

There are approximately 10,000 Seminaries/Bible Colleges in the world today.
These institutions will only be able to produce approximately 5–7% of the needed pastors, evangelists, and missionaries.
Less than 10% of all ministers worldwide have ever had formal Bible College or Seminary training.
If there was ever a need to have an affordable Bible Institute option, not just for pastors and missionaries, but for Christians seeking to deepen their faith and knowledge, the time is now.
Bible Colleges, Institutes, and Seminaries are struggling in a day and age where cost, competition, and accreditation are driving them out of existence. Many seeking the next level of Bible training cannot afford to go away to school with jobs, ministries, and families, and many find the pace of traditional school impossible to manage. These challenges are exactly why Source of Light Ministries International has created the completely online Bible Institute.
World Wide Bible Institute, or WWBI, is a three-year Bible Institute Curriculum created to be used in a structured on-line setting.
WWBI’s curriculum is one that has been carefully arranged so that it progresses from simple to more complex themes and produces a “building block effect” where each subject and year builds upon what has been learned in another. It also gives flexibility to a student’s particular needs and abilities by allowing a student the opportunity of choosing one or more courses to work on at a time and the functionality of the program allows a student to work at his or her own pace.
WWBI utilizes the very latest techniques in the field of programmed instruction. WWBI’s materials are all produced using the Programmed Instruction Method or PIM. With this approach, small amounts of information are given to the student and then an immediate response is called for in which the student restates in writing the ideas just imparted.
A quiz is used following each section, which requires a second response to that same information. At the end of the “STEP”, a Pre-Test is constructed so that the student again repeats the information given. Almost all STEPs have an In-Service Project to submit and that is graded by the professor which allows the student to practically apply to life and ministry the information and truths learned throughout that STEP.
Finally, a STEP-test is unlocked allowing the student to access it when ready to take the test. With this method, students come away with a firm grasp of the material they have studied. The goal of this particular method is entirely geared towards the student learning the material, having a deeper knowledge and understanding of the Word of God, and the ability to apply it to their life and ministry.
