Testimonies of the BMin
Graduates
 Ibrahaim Kiarie
Pastor, Liberty Gospel Church, Kapcherop
Glory
to God for His guidance throughout the BMin programme. Through the
programme, I learned to be disciplined in my time management, to do my
assignments and at the same time my church work. I was blessed by studying
the doctrine of Bible preservation. I came to understand that if the Word
of God was not divinely preserved 100%, then we have nothing to call the
infallible Word of God. In practical terms, I learned that it is my
responsibility as a Bible student to teach the truth always, to teach and reteach and never be tired to teach the same truth. I was made to do many
assignments and in the process improved my writing skills. Thus, the BMin
programme is a godsend for us ministers of the gospel to help us to be
better equipped to stand up “for the Word God and for the testimony of
Jesus Christ.”
 Patrick Matheka
Pastor, Ngomongo Bible-Presbyterian Church
Lecturer, Bible College of East Africa, Nairobi
Through the intensive and systematic courses, I have been able to acquire
a diversity of knowledge to benefit my spiritual life as well as the flock
of God. I benefited much from the course on Charismatism. After the course
I straightaway began to teach the truths that I had learned to my church
members. Many were fully challenged and thanked God for such teachings. It
is my prayer that God may help me to commit such truthful teachings to
faithful men who will teach others also (2 Tim 2:2).
 Daniel Muindi
Pastor, Bethel Sanctuary, Kibwezi
The
BMin programme has been an eye-opener for me; it has enabled me to see
things in the biblical way. Through the course on the KJV-NIV Debate, I
could see that many heresies of modern-day Christianity come from the
corrupted translations of the Bible. I have taken a bold step to teach my
congregation to use the King James Bible.
Before I entered the BMin
programme, I supported the charismatic way of preaching and worship
because I thought it to be very dynamic and led of the Holy Spirit. When
Dr Jeffrey Khoo taught on Charismatism, I had my eyes opened. I discovered
that the Charismatics employed wrong hermeneutics which led to wrong
interpretations from the Scriptures, thereby misleading their followers.
The BMin programme has
caused me to be mature in the knowledge of the Word. Through this
experience, I am geared to defend the faith, not giving the devil a
chance, but proving through the Scriptures what I believe. This experience
has reformed me to be a defender of the faith in the 21st century in line
with the 16th century and the 20th century reformers. I therefore
appreciate what God has done to me through FEBC.
 Julius Mulili
Pastor, Africa Church, Nairobi
The
lectures in class have been a blessing to my heart. The new lessons on the
KJV Debate have opened my eyes to defend the Bible. The humility of Dr J
Khoo challenged me a lot for it is a virtue I want to emulate. Moreover,
his memory verses exam challenged me to have a scholarly attitude. I also
learned much about the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the OT through the
study of Genesis and Exodus under Rev Quek Suan Yew. The seriousness and
strictness of Rev Quek raised our concentration level in class and made us
to pray a lot more that we might pass our exams. I also appreciate the
pastoral heart of Rev Das Koshy.
 Nelson Mwangi
Principal, Fundamental Bible College, Machakos
Since entering this BMin programme, I have improved so much in my personal
devotions and study of God’s Word. It has helped me so much in the
teaching ministry as well as in evangelism. It has turned out to be a
great help and edification to my family and the church of God as well. May
the Almighty Father continue to give my teachers more strength to continue
to help others.
 Richard Nduva
Pastor, Africa Church, Katituni
Lecturer, Fundamental Bible College, Machakos
One of the important
things I have learned in this programme is how the work of missions should
be properly done. It has also given me the recipes of holy living that
pleases God. I have learned the maxims of Dr Carl McIntire which are very
encouraging. I have also learned that making a vow is a serious thing. Rev
Dr Timothy Tow is a son of his mother’s vow. His mother’s vow was
fulfilled in his life.
My prayers are for this
BMin programme to continue so that many other ministers might be helped to
live righteously in these perilous and deadly days.
 Peter Ngao
Pastor, Glory Bible Church, Kangundo
The independent study
assignments that I had to do while in ministry required much discipline.
It humbled me to seek the Lord’s help because in the ministry, resources
are lacking. When I worked on my research paper, I discovered that I could
learn a lot of things, that even without a lecturer, I can still study the
Scriptures independently. The independent work encouraged me to do all
things keenly because the papers were all checked for accuracy,
theologically and grammatically, even the spellings. I give God all the
glory.
 Robert Nzomo
Pastor, Africa Church, Kathaana
Lecturer, Fundamental Bible College, Machakos
Praise be to the Lord God
Almighty who used the Far Eastern Bible College lecturers and Rev Dr
Timothy Tow to offer the Bachelor of Ministry programme at the Bible
College of East Africa. I have grown much in the grace and knowledge of
our Lord Jesus Christ. All my lecturers were very devoted, spiritual, and
even the books which we used were very spiritual. Concerning the Bible, I
have come to know that there are many translations like the NIV, RSV, and
TEV that are not good for they are based on the Westcott and Hort text.
I have received great blessings. I would like to thank my teachers who
have come from so far—Singapore—to teach me.
