OVER 1,500 GRADUATES ARE SERVING IN ALL AREAS OF CHRISTIAN MINISTRY!
Perhaps no other measure of an academic institution is quite as telling as the quality of its graduates.  Since our founding in 1999, Master's has been blessed by the high level of ministry accomplishment, and widely diverse areas of service represented by those who have made us their Divinity School of choice.  For the most part, these extraordinary individuals were already on the cutting edge of Christian ministry prior to enrolling in a program at Master's.  These discriminating men and women were drawn to Master's because of our high quality (and practical) programs, as well as a shared commitment to vital Christian ministry.  The academic degrees they earned through Master's helped them to be even more effective in their God-directed area of service. The individuals recognized below are representatives of hundreds of these distinguished individuals.

As a pastor I cannot tell you how much I appreciate and value the education I received at Master’s.  I started my studies at Master’s when the school first formed in the late 90’s.  I was a pastor on an Island located in the Southeast panhandle of Alaska.  Living on an Island put me in a very precarious situation; I desired to further my education but was in no position to be able to travel to attend a school.  In 1999 I began a search on the internet for a distance education that would give me a solid biblical training but would not require me to leave my home.  Through the providence of God I was led to Master’s.  I was impressed with the class offerings, the helpfulness of the staff and the format of the classes.  Master’s worked with me to help me find the right program and to structure the right classes so that I could further my training.  As a result I was able to convert my Biblical Studies Diploma I received at another Bible school to a Bachelor of Practical Ministry degree and then to go on and earn my Master of Practical Theology degree and continued on for my Doctor of Biblical Studies degree.  I cannot recommend this school highly enough and would encourage anyone who is considering this school to enter into the process – you will not be disappointed. 

Dr. Stephen Leston,
Pastor Teacher, Kishwaukee Bible Church DeKalb, Illinois

There are many distance education choices available. Some are adequate, others are simply chatter and blather resulting in a degree that won't withstand academic and real-life scrutiny. Master's International School of Divinity is world class professors, caring staff and state of the art information delivery systems. I have had the benefit of a world class secular education as well as other distance education opportunities and Master's leads the field.

Dynamic professors such as Dr. Frazier, Dr. Frey, and Dr. Moen, and many others, have enhanced my learning experiences to levels unequaled in the secular world. The most important aspect of my experience at Master's is in the drawing of my heart ever nearer to God, serving Yeshua in real ways, knowing the Bible and our God in a soul-deep way which comes only from a committed staff and faculty, tear-stained pages of my Bible, carefully selected textbooks, and coursework designed to stir a hunger and thirst after righteousness. If you seek a Bible-based, meaningful world class education  delivered in a state-of-the-art process, world-class professors and challenging assignments, Master's International School of Divinity is for you!

I entered the Navy in 1973, and served faithfully as an enlisted member for 10 years before receiving a commission as an officer and serving an additional 22 years. I was called into the ministry at an early age, and most of my career has been spent serving in the military and part time as a Co-Pastor and Associate Minister, and head of Outreach Ministry at various churches throughout the country.

Having a strong desire to continue my studies in ministry, I started the Doctorate Program in Practical Ministry at MISD.  What has impressed me the most is Master's true allegiance to teach from a biblical perspective, the true Word of God. Each time I attended a Seminar, I felt the compassion, presence and power of the Almighty God guiding each teacher. The passion for the Word of God and the teachers concern for each of the students welfare added more consummation this was the school for me and my continued studies.

Course work was not easy, you must put the time and effort into your studies, but in the end you will know it was well worth the effort.

CDR Howard L. Brown, USN Retired

"It was the power of the Holy Spirit that inspired me to go to MISD.  I usually visit BibleStudyTools.net and the schools banner was always flashing, I ask God if I should attend and twice God said...Go for it!

The classes were very insightful and I was tremendously blessed with greater insight on the Word of God.   It's blessed me with the opportunity of working here at TBN and it's been fun.  There is much more God has for my life out side of TBN and I'm grateful for my Daily Quiet Time with the LORD.  Reading the Bible once a year has impacted my life in such a way that the overflow of Christ flows so freely out of me.  School might be done, but studying Word is forever.

I'm so grateful for Master's, because God said to GO.  That's all I need is the power of Holy Spirit.  Doesn't take much to get this former Muslim going ...Hallelujah!  Much Blessings!"

Thayer Diab, Low Power TV Engineering Coordinator, Trinity Broadcasting Network, Inc.

"The cry for anointed, expository preaching in God’s churches rings louder than ever. No one responds to that cry greater than the late Dr. Stephen Olford. Master’s gave me that opportunity to have studied under Dr. Olford and receive academic credit for such work. Preparation and presentation of Biblical messages are now reinforced by the fine instruction through the Olford Center and Master’s International School of Divinity. I am truly grateful for my work with Master’s Graduate School of Divinity."

Dr. Ray Burks , Senior Pastor Lakeview Baptist Church, Selmer, Tennessee

"I really enjoyed my doctorate from MISD . . . I feel it was practical and attainable.  The courses were biblically based and not so overwhelming that you couldn't spend adequate time on them.  With a little diligence and perseverance, you can easily finish the degree.

I was constantly using the course material in my messages and counseling.  For years I looked for an external degree program that was designed for those in ministry that wasn't a diploma mill or mutually exclusive.  Master's met that agenda and blessed my heart.

Thank you for a job well done . . . May your tribe increase!"

Dr. Duffy Johnson, Windham Community Chapel, Dummerston, Vermont

"I attended Master's International School of Divinity to obtain my Bachelors and Master's degrees. Since graduating, I have become a Chaplain with Conservative Baptists of America and run a website for women who suffer from mental health issues and are trying to maintain a walk with Christ. Additionally I am currently the Executive Director of a Pregnancy & Sexual Health Resource Center.

Masters has enabled me to stay at home while my children were growing and also maintain current in a work environment while I was going to school. I would recommend the school to anyone who is serious about full time ministry. The education I got there was superior to any other school I attended before due to the fact that knowledge retention and practical applicability are built into the course work."

Ch. Cheryl A. Durham, D.B.S.

"The courses, textbooks, tapes and seminars at Master’s International School of Divinity have been instrumental in helping me to obey the Apostle Paul’s charge to 'Study to show thyself approved unto God.' The school is on the cutting edge of ministerial training and it has, and will continue, to equip me for service in the Master’s Kingdom.


Dr. Dan Whitelaw, Associate Professor of Theology at Milwaukee Theological Institute;  Greater Milwaukee area representative for the Amachi Program; a program designed to recruit and train mentors for children of incarcerated parents; Presently serving as full-time Youth Pastor at the New Testament Church in Milwaukee; Co-Chaplain for the Milwaukee Bucks Basketball Team of the NBA.

"God called me into ministry about 1996. Even called, I was poorly equipped for the vineyards in which I found myself...specifically, a maximum security prison!  By the bountiful grace of God, I was able to reach some desperate souls with God’s Holy Word.

In 1997, I became a circuit rider, serving two small churches in northern Texas. With all of the difficulties found in any church, I began to deal with the same problems any other pastor would be exposed to.

I recognized that in some areas, my practical experience was inadequate. One day, while “surfing the net," God brought me to the Master’s website and the answer to my prayers. Here was a school offering exactly what I needed, even though I didn’t know it, and a financial plan that could be made to fit my budget. On top of that, they offered world-class instructors that some conventional schools could only dream of. Excellence in training men and women to do God’s work is paramount to the school’s goal.

Since being allowed to complete several classes at Master’s, I have been especially blessed by the affiliation with faculty and other students. My church administration has improved and both medical personnel and ministry friends now invite individuals to visit with me as they begin to face their life problems.

Master’s has made an immeasurable and positive difference in my family and church life. The influence Master’s learning provided to me has had far reaching effects in my community. Individuals known only to God and I have been brought into salvation as a direct result of my experience with Master’s.

Professional staff, top quality affordable learning, I encourage everyone to come join the professionals working for the Lord’s vineyard. I really believe the last barrier to Christian education has been removed."

Dr. Bob Wilson, Pastor, First United Methodist Church, Alvord, TX; Chaplain, Wise Regional Hospital, Decatur, TX; Mayor, City of Alvord, TX; Former Chaplain, Alred Maximum Security Prison, Wichita Falls, TX.

"First let me take this opportunity to thank you and the staff of Master’s International School of Divinity for the excellent curriculum and service you provide. You have made it possible for people like myself to pursue an education that would otherwise be impossible to achieve through conventional educational methods of attending a seminary full time. For many of us, this simply is not an option – we have jobs and families to support first.

I completed my degree, a Bachelor of Practical Ministry in Chaplaincy, completely off-campus. I was able to transfer my previously completed college credits from our local community college and therefore all of the classes in my Bachelor’s curriculum were core ministry classes.

I found the classes to be very straight forward and based on a simple “learn at your own pace” methodology. The combination of audio lectures and text book follow standard college format of lecture and text book and advisors were always available should I need clarification of any point.

I was actually quite surprised at how quickly I was able to complete the courses and receive my degree. Like any educational institution or opportunity, you only get out of it what you put into it. Your program made it possible for me to achieve my goal.

A degree isn’t going to make anyone a better Christian. It isn’t going to make anyone suddenly wise. What it does is provide a sound foundation in Christian theology, history, or practical applications that can’t be taught in a church environment. It gives you the confidence needed to progress to the next level of your Christian walk in service to others.

I have been the Associate Pastor at our church for over a year now and it has been the best experience of my life. My degree didn’t make this happen, but it provided me with a solid foundation to build on, taught me the skills to minister to others in diverse circumstances, and gave me the confidence necessary to accept the challenge. Being a Pastor isn’t easy – but it is worth every step of the journey.

I would just like to say thank you Master’s for understanding the needs of those like me. God bless you and yours."

Dennis Miley, Associate Pastor, Hollywood Church of the Brethren, Fredericksburg, Virginia.

"I made myself a promise when I entered the ministry in 1981, that first of all I would finish the Masters degree that I had started and secondly, that I would not coast in the last half of my ministry, but that I would finish strong. Master's International School of Divinity helped me keep both promises. What I hadn't anticipated was how blessed I would be by my involvement with Master's. The classes became an avenue for personal spiritual renewal. I found myself signing up for the next seminar with great anticipation of what God would speak into my life next. I was never disappointed! The icing on the cake was the retooling with significant ministry tools for the last half. I can't thank you enough for the affordable opportunity that you provided to me. You were a God-send!" 

Rev. Dr. Robert T. Sievers, First Baptist Church, Ontario, Oregon


"My degree from MISD helped me to obtain the opportunities for doing both Visitation and Discipleship Ministries through my local church. I have had many exciting experiences because of this, and have even had the privilege of leading others to the Lord as a result. I lead small groups and will be teaching a Growing in Christ discipleship course for new believers. My Pastor gives me referrals of people to visit. They can be at a hospital, nursing home, or at home visits. I recently expanded to doing visitations at jails also. I do follow-up phone calls for those who have recently committed their lives to Christ during the services. I believe that my training at MISD equipped me to do the ministries that I am currently doing. I earned a B.S. in Practical Ministry (Chaplaincy Program). And I am now enrolled again at MISD in the Master of Ministry Biblical Counseling program. I have had a great experience with Masters . I would highly recommend it!"
