Note: Since there are many Tuition Centres using our material, we prefer that you do not try to enroll far-away students.

We believe in contact training but some students cannot get to classes, so we have developed a distance solution:We believe in contact training but some students cannot get to classes, so we have developed a distance solution:


The Distance Tutor

1. Appoint a Distance Tutor who lives near the student. (The student may also help by finding one.)

2. Guide the Tutor to:• Spend time with the student for encouragement

• Explain the material and our e-learning method

• Disciple the student to form Christ-like character


Take Action

• Consider the Great Commission task of discipleship before you

• Ask for God’s wisdom• Get leadership behind you• Require leaders to do training

A Bible School is the solution which brings restoration and new life to every Church! Plan, order and start!
