This year the Bible Institute is commencing a series of seminars for pastors and church leaders.
The series will be part of ongoing theological education, designed to offer solid, edifying Bible teaching to equip Pastors and church leaders for ministry.
This is a notification of the first seminar of the series. The Saturday half-day program includes three talks. The cost is R60pp (payable on the day), which includes a light brunch and a complimentary copy of one of Brian Edward’s books
BI is pleased to start off 2012 with a continuation of last year’s series of Monday night lectures (which looked at Early and Medieval Church History). This two-term course will look at Reformation and Modern Church History and will enable understanding of events that have influenced every evangelical Protestant believer, irrespective of denomination, for the past five centuries. The course comprises two 50 min lectures on Monday evenings, spread over 14 weeks. No previous theological training is necessary.
Cultural Evening, started by a student some time ago is student driven and loads of fun. Each "Table" repesents a Nation where guests, served by students in national costume, enjoy natonal food items followed by a presentation on the specific Country. These picture collages tell the story well...
The International Society for Science and Religion (Bene’t House, St Edmund’s College, Cambridge UK) ran a competition where the prize was a set of library books. Mr David Fitz-Patrick, our registrar and Librarian entered the competition and BISA was one of a select number of colleges to win the award!
I had a feeling that I was being watched. I looked up suddenly and he bolted round the door. Shocked, I couldn’t move for two or three seconds. Pulling myself together I headed on after him armed with a broom. With one smooth motion I lurched forward. WHAM!! I nailed him on the head. I had just killed my eighteenth mouse; a task I’m becoming freakishly good at!
Part of me wants to tell the story, when I come home to SA to visit, of the mice I kill, but I usually stop myself. Nobody wants to hear that!

One of the most frequently asked questions we have regarding the Distance Learning Programme is ‘How many students are enrolled?’ This is a good quesion, considering that most of our students live far from the BISA campus and are seldom able to attend classes. Yet, despite seeming to be ‘invisible’, they are a very real and active part of the BISA community.

Greetings from the Bible Institute at the beginning of another academic year. It is always an exciting time in the life of the college as we welcome our new students onto campus.
An essential part of the Bible Institute's on-campus training is ministry experience - and notably the annual Ministry Outreach Week. This year, between 19th and 28th March, 7 ministry teams were hosted by churches in the Cape Town surrroundings and further afield, where they had hands-on exposure to various local ministries.

There's more to theological education than most people realise.
Just about everybody does. The tougher question is: “Who wants to be a missionary?” 
At a Christian leaders post Lausanne meeting, a recurring theme was “Bible literate Christians,” or should I say the lack of them?
