FIRST STUDENT- LED CHAPEL TIME
Tuesday, September 25th, 2013 – first school day of the week was the date for the first student-led chapel time at BSM. Gabby Corro, the student-preacher spoke from Romans 12:1-2 and challenged his fellow classmates to offer themsleves as liivng sacrifices to the Master. It was a heart-warming time for both teachers and students who attended.
E-LIBRARY FOR BSM STUDENTS
For the first four months of their stay in BSM, the students have been doing research the old fashion way only – using the printed page – reference books for Bible study. Early this month of September, three units of laptop were purchased for the school so students can also research electronically. The units have been configured to block Facebook and You Tube during weekdays. Should a student attempt to open his/her facebook account, a message like this will appear on the screen; “Are you not supposed to be studying?” Said sites are unblocked during week ends.

BSM STUDENTS CONDUCT VALUES FORMATION SEMINAR
Culasi National High School, situated at the port area of Roxas City requested the services of First Assembly Roxas Missions to conduct a values formation seminar for the entire high school student body. Armed with a half day seminar material full of creative ideas, the Berean students were trained and tasked to serve the request. Evangeline Palmerola, one of the BSM sudents who by experience is an Early Childhood Education teacher, said that the burden of their hearts is not just to teach the students what is morally right or wrong, but that they may have Jesus in their hearts. Unless the students have Jesus in their lives, on their own they have no power to choose and do what is right. May this endeavor open wider doors of opportunity for ministry to the young generation of our days.
THEY DO THINGS TOGETHER
BSM studwents do a lot of things togther. They sit in class, do research, eat, cook, work, wash clothes, cry, laugh and sing together. But last August 21, 2012, after a fun day at the beach, they did one more thing together: get a haircut.
OUT FOR A SPLASH IN THE WATER
After almost two months of rigid classroom sessions, research work, serious and sometimes heavy moments of group and individual mentoring, the BSM students finaly had a real break last Auguts 21st, 2012. Escorted by BSM Dean of Students Franz Vasquez and Ladies Dorm Monitor Normita Alvarez, they had a day out at the Flatrock Resort. The pictures below vividly speak they had a great and fun time together.
ELEGANT BIBLES TO PREACH FROM

LEARNING TO USE BIBLE STUDY TOOLS
BSM students tackle the use of the different Bible studyd tools in a practicum exam under BSM Academic dean Rev. Zeny Calusay. Studentsw found the experience challenging and neckbreaking. Yes, it was not easy but it was worth it.
NEW BSM STUDENTS INTRODUCED TO FARM FAMILY
At the beginning of each schoolyear, incoming students are introduced to the FARM family members. FARM is honored to have a share in the training of future churchplanters coming from other parts of the Philippines. This schoolyear, students come from Iloilo, Palawan, Negros Oriental, Leyte, Ilocos Norte, Central Luzon and Iligan along with several coming from Roxas City. Since the beginning of BSM, FARM members have untiringly given to help finance the training of church planters by sponsoring needy students in their tuition, lodging and meals. BSM Dean of Students, Franz Vasques also appealed for some to be `Rice’ sponsors. A minimum of 2 sacks of rice are needed by the students every month.
EVALUATING THE RAW MATERIAL
A quotation that reflects the philosophy of training in BSM is: `God accepts you as you are, but will not let you stay as you are’. Students that enrol in BSM are viewed as raw material to be processed, polished, enhanced so they become effective instruments in building the kingdom of God. So students take evaluative tests at the beginning of the schoolyear that have been proven to be helpful for the BSM teachers and mentors in training them. Two of these tests are Evaluation of English Listening Skill administered by Jireh Calusay and Evaluation of Speaking Skill under Mrs. Zenaida Calusay.
