While at BBC I’m realizing
that to make an impact in
people’s lives, it is more
important who we are rather
than what we know.

Heather - Wales
One of the things that attracted me to Belfast Bible College was the opportunity to gain a general grounding in theology and biblical studies whilst at the same time maintaining a focus on mission through class, world focus and practical placements. I constructed my course Pathway carefully to achieve this.
Jennifer - N.Ireland
Jennifer had worked in Northern Nigeria for Wycliffe Bible Translators designing an alphabet for a pre-literate people group- the Hungwere. She returned to take the Masters Course.
“Before I knew it. I found myself studying theories, principles and examples of contextual mission that will help guide my decisions back Nigeria and wherever else I may work. I was able to debate the pros and cons of various ideas with experienced lecturers, and will long remember these thought-provoking and often hilarious discussions!
The most important aspect of the course for me, however, was its flexibility and freedom in allowing us as students to create our own modules in our areas of interest. This meant that I was able to spend time investigating the questions that I needed to be answered: theories and practicalities of orality, literacy and all Christian communication.”
Joanne - N.Ireland
Johanne works with Crosslink’s in a city in the Sahara Desert, North Africa, having completed the certificate in the Bible and Church’s mission
“The very practical nature of the mission
studies, helped greatly in my preparation for life overseas- demonstrating God’s love in everyday life.
We covered things like culture shock, financial support, the importance of feed back and forgiveness and communication with other members of the team – having realistic expectations of others, each with their faults”
Colin and SunHwa - N.Ireland
‘My practical training placement with Seamen’s Christian Friends Society was invaluable. It inspired and prepared me for the long term mission commitment I have made to be their Port Missionary for Cork, Ireland.’
