Berean School of Ministry

To further help students develop their communication skills, they underwent a training in organic acting with Pastor Joses Calusay.

Berean Students participated at the wedding of Charles-David Navigar Hamot, and Eve Baclangen that was officiated by their instructor in Pastoral Ministry Rev. Rey Calusay. Eve Baclangen is a BSM Alumni.

To sit down in her class was a treat for the BSM Batch 23 this year. Meet the newest guest teacher of BSM this year, Dr. Dynnice Rosanny Engcoy . She’s  presently working as Registrar of ICI Global University  Philippines and a Church History faculty at Asia Pacific Theological Seminary (APTS). Dr. Engcoy earned her Ph.D in Church History from Asia Graduate School of Theology. Dr. Engcoy was a schoolmate of Rev. Zeny Calusay, BSM Academic Dean when they were both taking up Bachelor of Science in Chemistry in Central Philippines University, Iloilo City.

As a supplemental  activity in studying a target place, students were given a visit to the Capiz Museum. The experience was purposed to let them see   the value of looking at the history of a place in planning evangelistic and church planting strategies.

It was a heart warming morning in the BSM classroom, as  students  express in prayer how they feel about their future ministries – honest moments before the Lord.

   An integral part of the training of our students is their exposure to our local church  life and ministries.  Many aspects of the ministry are better caught than taught.  Students learn better when they see patterns, observe others do them or when they themselves participate in them. Being a church-based school is a natural setting for such opportunities. We will train our students to do what we do.  One very important ministry thay have to learn and expereince is disicpleship. They  have to go through   the `Moving Experience’ discipleship program of FARM church and lead another to go through it. These pictures show the students participate  in processing a number of new believers  in the discipleship class of Mrs. Calusay.

We will train our students to do what we do. They have the opportunity to learn many aspects of the pastoral work by participating in each of the purpose-based teams of FARM church: Magnet Team, Membership Team, Ministry Team and Missions Team.

Pastor Rey Calusay announced at the beginning of year 2015 that FARM focus is to BECOME PEOPLE OF THE BOOK. FARM as a church family are reading and studying a Bible Passage throughout the week. Then they will share insights with one another when they come together the following Sunday. BSM students came back from Christmas vacation and joined in this movement.

After having so much fun at the rooftop in a Christmas party, the students were presented a claim card for an ESV Global Bible as gift, courtesy of Philippine Bible Society.
