CREATIVE COOPERATION

 

After publishing “Who Killed the Bible College?” I heard from several individuals concerning the continued prosperity of some schools. That was great news because the success of biblical institutions of higher learning is exactly what I would like to see, and is the reason I wrote the book.

One of those individuals was my friend Rick Brooks who has served with Word of Life Bible Institute for many years.

It has just been announced that Word of Life has formalized a new partnership with Dallas Theological Seminary. This involves three primary components. Word of Life and DTS will become symbiotic partners across all Word of Life regions. This involves unity and continuity theologically, ministerially, and philosophically. Secondly, the two entities will provide a united framework for collaboration in biblical and theological education worldwide. And finally, it will allow regional agreements to be formed as opportunities develop. This is already underway in Brazil and Argentina.

This creative cooperation will be of great benefit both to Word of Life graduates and to Dallas. Rick says, “I think this is going to be a super alliance!”

I personally thank God for every effort which is being made to support the continuing success of our biblical institutions. It is hard to see some close, but we give thanks for the diligence being shown to make education available for the generations to come.
