More than a theological institute a comprehensive training institution for life.

He said to his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few. (Mt 9:37)

Although the apostle Paul encourages God's servants to take part in the work of pastoral ministry from position (I Tim. 3:1), nowadays, in most cases it is obvious what is the ministry outcast. The current economic socio-Satan whose architecture has much to do-determined values ​​of social status weigh much when parents decide what course they should take their children professional.

I'm a father too, and of course I want the best for my children. Not only does he want, but this in a biblical responsibility to guide them in life to do as well as possible (II Cor 12:14). But, if I want to act as a committed Christian, one of the first options you should put forward the way of my children is the ministry in all its areas.

I'm not suggesting that all our guys should end up being pastors, teachers, evangelists, musicians, singers, etc, rather I am suggesting that many of them might be, but have moved away from that purpose encarrilándolos systematically along the path, consider humanly was more economically beneficial for them, as if economic factors were the only, or most important in the happiness and welfare of our children.

The usual reason for rejecting the ministry is that the economic outlook and the potential conflicts that are projected in these conflicts are many and proven. This argument can not be dismissed simply spiritualizing, for indeed, it is right and legitimate expectation which aim to eat every day at certain hours, and nutritionally, a roof to live, a wife and children who, in turn, require education , clothing, recreation, medicine etc.

You should then have a balance, handling viable and responsible as possible for our claim that believers mentality change regarding the ministry. Because it has been clear that the mere exposure of the glories of the ministry as well as the divine mandate to be part of this not been sufficiently persuasive to a rule that believers seek to engage their children in ministry. It is then clear that the ministers of the Lord called to establish a solid foundation of Christian education and biblical training of the servants of God, we face a challenge that demands an open mind, wisdom and creativity.

Our proposal to balance this situation is a Bible college education combining pastoral ministry with technical and vocational training, only in those areas that are demanded by society, but at the same time, represent a profession that allows graduates own their time.

But this scheme, that nothing is new, requires a dramatic reengineering of the administrative structure and curriculum, infrastructure, teachers and the average duration of the study program. It's challenging, but not impossible, Catholic polytechnics have been doing so for decades with remarkable results.

This is not a task you can do alone, but require the help of everyone who in one way or another be aware that we can change the current scheme of theological training, static, and disconnected from the surrounding world by a dynamic model, integrated and alive. Therefore, if you have recently been meditating in some decent work, to give yourself to join or where you want to donate resources, we propose our own. The great benefit of contributing to a project like this is that it is a social investment with a guaranteed return, "immediate" and that if it does not benefit you directly, it will indirectly through her ​​children, grandchildren, family, friends and acquaintances to whom you want to route.

Help us to realize this project so that there is a remarkable transformation in educational enrollment regarding ministerial theological training, so that we have pastors who live for ministry and not afraid of a life of deprivation "because the ministry" we contribute to restoring honor and brightness to the most honorable activity that you can see and we contribute a beacon of hope and an environment for our Christian youth.
