Charnock Institute of the Bible In-A-Box

The College in a Box program will allow us to Plant Bible Colleges anywhere in the English speaking world. Charnock Institute of the Bible, along with White Stone Missions, has completed the “College in a Box.” The Box is being displayed and contains the complete first year of classes (with answer keys & tests) for mission fields. This fully self-contained program will be used to start Bible Colleges on any English speaking Mission Field. We have students in Nigeria waiting even now for these Boxes to arrive by this Summer.

Description of the College in a Box program

Planting Bible Colleges for little $$$
Charnock Institute of the Bible and White Stone Missions are planting a Bible College in Nigeria in the next few months. The entire curriculum has been completed and is being readied to ship. We have students standing by awaiting the arrival of these items to begin their education. This is a dream-come-true for us.

How do we plan on proceeding?

Planting Bible colleges anywhere & everywhere in the world is very possible with today’s technology. The Box contains the complete first year of class curriculum (with answer keys & tests) for the mission field College. The courses are fully self-contained. This fully Self-Contained program will be used to start Bible Colleges on any English speaking Mission Field.

How does it work?

The college will use the existing building as its facility. The pastor, missionary, or their appointee(s) will simply issue materials and grade the tests. Students will then be required to participate in ministry 10 hours per week, serving along side missionaries or church staff, so actually benefiting their churches.

When does the program begin?

We have 12 students in Nigeria waiting even now for these Boxes to arrive in a
few months. Many more boxes are needed NOW.

What are the costs?

For one box to be completed and shipped to Nigeria (costs will differ with locations) the total cost is roughly $1,050. After a student completes the course, the next student comes in using the same books as the student before him with minor costs (less than $100) for replacement of tests and workbooks.

Comparison - There is no way to place missionaries on the mission field to educate students to become pastors or missionaries for this price. We plan on using existing staff to work with students in the discipleship context which already exists. This addition of the college curriculum will take their discipleship to a whole new level.
