Berean School of Ministry

For their class presentation during graduation, BSM Batch 23 prepares to perform a group spoken word. Their piece is entitled `Moral Edge’. The piece was originally written by Rev. Rey Calusay and edited by Joses Calusay for the students. The later likewise trained the students.

Twenty out of the twenty five who enrolled this schoolyear 2014-2015 made it. The FARM and BSM staff treated them to a mongolian barbecue dinner at Ysabels. It was also an educational experience for many in eating with chop sticks.

BSM BATCH 23 students take  Comprehensive Exam to prove their learning of the most important truths and principles throughout the training period.

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.
