Testimonials from Students Attending Accelerated Seminars.

"It was truly a pleasure to meet the MISD team of professionals who instructed during the Pensacola Super Seminar Week. The commitment to spiritual growth, course of instruction, team building and friendships that were formed at the conference is a tribute to the high standards that Master’s espouses.

As an Army officer of over seventeen years, and having had the opportunity to go through multiple degree programs both in and out of the service, I can unequivocally say that Master’s International School of Divinity provides the most personalized, well structured, flexible, and challenging curriculums in higher education that I have attended as a student.

I would highly recommend Master’s to anyone desiring to increase their knowledge and spiritual growth in the Word of our Lord while pursing an advanced educational degree. Top notch instructors along with an incredibly diverse and talented student body makes Master’s on-line courses coupled with interactive seminars truly a cut above the rest in theological universities. I am truly honored to be an MISD student.

Yours In Christ,
Matt Ballard, Major (P), MI

"I went to my first one last week & it was the best seminar that I have ever attended in my entire life. I left feeling refreshed, energized & ready to complete my studies. I was almost at a point of giving up.  Thanks for offering these. I was really hesitant about signing up for the seminars and at first kept using the excuse that the cost of travel, the seminar cost & the monthly fee I am already paying is too much. When the seminars were offered in St Louis, I used the excuse that to pay my monthly balance & pay for a seminar is too much, but I am so very glad that I did. It was worth it!"

"I am a retired Army Master Sergeant, and also a licensed and ordained minister. I have been a student at Masters seeking a degree in the discipline of Ministry for sometime. Working full time, ministering in the Sunday School, Bible studies and preaching when open doors came available and going to school on line with Masters as time and money permitted me to.

I have studied at some of the other schools, and there are some good ones out there. However, Masters seem to challenge me the most. Masters is serious about religious education and preparing men and women to serve God. Everything that I have done through Masters have been Biblically based. There are no give- a-ways here! I was looking for programs that were online which worked with my schedule, affordable and most importantly legitimate - not a diploma mill - but a college level program that would help me develop as a minister. It is my humble opinion that Masters Divinity is this type of school.

Recently information came to me about a seminar that was being offered in the area in which I live, and though I really did not have the money I felt led to register. I felt the need to come face with my instructors to ask questions and to learn. Also it was an ideal opportunity to jump-start my studies! Although at first apprehensive about how things would turn out, I came trusting God. The teaching was done in a manner that I believed brought glory to God and helped me tremendously in my spiritual growth. I really felt a move of God in my life.

I had been praying for a revival especially in the Church I worship, and when I attended this seminar God revived me! The teachers were extremely knowledgeable of the Word of God and they were not aloof but were men with like passions as I. I attended all five days of the seminar and felt that it was well worth the money and effort, and as the Lord Leads and opens up more opportunities I would like to attend even more. The spirit of all who were there - students and faculty alike - was friendly and willing to assist in anyway. I feel that through Masters I am being prepared to do God’s Work, God’s Way. I challenge anyone that is considering a degree in any of the ministry disciplines to consider Masters Divinity."

"I appreciate MISD and the opportunity I now have to further my education in conjunction with all the other responsibilities as a husband, father of three and full time staff member here at First Baptist Church.

Very shortly after coming on staff, I saw a tremendous need for Biblical counseling in our church, community and surrounding area and felt led to pursue a degree in Biblical Counseling. I met with a friend and Christian brother, Dr. Jim McBride, who had recently worked through Master's to obtain his degree in Biblical counseling. Jim shared with me of his positive experience at MISD, especially at the seminars. After prayerful consideration, coupled with counsel from my Senior Pastor, here I am!

With the self-paced approach at MISD, I find that I can work as rapidly as possible, given my home and work requirements. The staff at Master's has always been very helpful and understanding no matter what my circumstance. The distance learning model has been an answer to prayer given my inability to attend class on campus. The seminars have provided an excellent opportunity for personal interaction with faculty and other students which is sometimes very beneficial for a deeper and more meaningful learning experience.

Thank you MISD for this wonderful, self-paced and affordable opportunity to advance my skills and abilities for His glory and honor!"

"I first became aware of Master's when I attended an IABC Conference in Denver. I enjoyed the classes so much that I decided to go on for my Master's Degree. I finished that degree, and applied for my Doctorate Degree which I am now working towards.

I so enjoy attending seminars because I get to know the professors on a more personal level and interact with students who are enthusiastically pursuing their degrees. It is also encouraging to interact with students at every degree level. There never seems to be any partiality on the parts of the professors or the students as we interact in classes.

I grew up Catholic and came to know Jesus when I was twenty-eight. I have been married for thirty-six years and have three children. When Danny, our middle child, was ten, he died with brain cancer. His death changed the course of my life and the life of our family. A few months after his death I was introduced to Biblical Counseling and attended my first seminar in 1989 with the Biblical Counseling Foundation then headquartered in Virginia. After taking their training in lay Biblical Counseling I began counseling in my church. I have been counseling at Grace Fellowship since 1990.

I have been certified by NANC and IABC - both great biblical organizations. I have had the opportunity to teach Biblical Counseling principles across the United States, and in New Zealand, Mexico, Hungary, and the Gallapagos Islands. I long to minister to missionaries on the field who are experiencing relationship problems.

I had always wanted to pursue a degree in counseling and I have a deep desire to know more of the Scriptures and how to use them to minister life to broken people. Master's gave me that opportunity. I am so grateful for a school that actually teaches Biblical Counseling and not "Christian Counseling" (secular counseling methodology with Scripture tacked on at the end). It is a joy to work with the people at Master's. They have a heart for the Lord and are interested in fulfilling the great command: "Love God and Love others - going into the world and making disciples."

Thanks again for all you do,

Cathy Barshinger
 

"I want to inform the staff at MISD of the privilege and honor it was for me to join my brothers & sisters in Christ for a week of impartation and teachings by the leadership team of MISD. They are truly strong men of GOD that blessed my life tremendously with the deeper insight and wisdom of GOD that HE has freely given them.

GOD called me to the ministry as HE has called us all. However, HE called me to service as I mature spiritually in Him. After obtaining my undergraduate degree in Business-Finance from Morris Brown College, GOD led me to attend Divinity School because He wanted me to prepare and understand the importance of knowing and teaching sound doctrine. In my prayerful search of several schools, MISD has proven to be the perfect fit for the preparation of what GOD is calling me to, and is providing the foundation to build in ministry upon.

MISD has provided me the opportunity to not only further my studies as I seek my master s degree in ministry, but the school allows me the opportunity to prepare for the level of service that GOD entrusts to me as His vessel. Since becoming a student several people that I have ministered to has been blessed by the wisdom & knowledge that GOD has given me through my education at MISD. MISD is the perfect school for the serious working student committed to effective ministry.

GOD led me to choose Master s International School of Divinity, to test and examine myself. What about you?"

Humbly grateful and in His service,
Minister LaQuonne Holden

"II Timothy 2:15 instructs us to Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth.

I am 52 years old, was in the Marine Corps for 13 years and have been part of a host of other things.  Today I work for ADT Security Services as an executive commercial sales representative.  My wife (Janas Jackson) and I am Minister’s of the gospel at Evangel Cathedral in upper Marlboro Maryland serving as leaders in the Pastoral Care Department with a congregation with over 4,000.  We also have our own Ministry called Christian Stewardship Ministries, teaching classes on how to be a good steward of what God has given us as well as serving the homeless in the Washington, DC area with clothes, bibles, tracts and love.

My wife is seeking her Associates degree and I my Bachelors degree at Master’s International School of Divinity. Yes, II Timothy 2:15 tells us to study, and I thought after all that I have done in my life, I had studied a lot. Only until I attended the accelerated class offered by Masters did I find out that I have not studied enough!

I learned a lot in such a small period.  I have been trying to get through the degree program for several years, and it has been a challenge because the on-line lessons, the reading and writing assignments have not been easy for me. However, since I did a week in the accelerated class seminar atmosphere it went by like a breeze.  I knocked out four classes, and now I only have two courses remaining.

I am going to get those two done through the seminar format, and then I am signing up for my Master Degree. I can hardly believe how excited I am about what God is doing in my life!  When I got home, I could not stop telling my wife and my friends about the experience that had taken place during the seminars in Indiana.

If you are having difficulty in starting or even finishing your degree, you must attend a Master’s seminar to get a jump-start on your new life and a new beginning.

You may think, but there is so much pressure on me because of all the daily things I have to do.  Let me tell you something, the Lord has a work for you to do, a special part for you to play, a place that only you can fill.  Jeremiah 29:11 tells us, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

If you want to fill that place, you must put yourself in agreement with God and obey his word. Commit to walking with him, commit to finishing or starting your degree with Master’s International School of Divinity, be ready to learn, ready to change, get ready for your mind to be renewed!"

Getting my degree with MISD through the seminar method has been a really great experience.  Being retired, just a Sunday School teacher and not a paid staff member, I questioned whether this was really something I should be investing in.  To be honest, I was more than a little leery of what I was getting into.

 Like everything else in life, you get out of it what you put into it.  But MISD offers degree programs and courses that are very high quality, and not easily found at other institutions.  Educationally, I received more than I bargained for.  I received a strong Bible-based education that I can use in every area of the life God has given me. 

In Christ Jesus,

John Shearer, B.Min., Biblical Counseling, Master's International School of Divinity
 

 I want to thank you for the time and work you put into our Advanced NT seminar.  The seminar was spiritually and content rich.  I hope it met your expectations because it exceeded mine.

The Research and Writing Seminar also exceeded my expectations.  The preparation of my thesis proposal proved life-changing. I have had a clear picture in my heart that God wants me to serve as a Christian Executive/Administrator.  Now, I have a further vision of my contribution to the church.  I intend to champion the care of pastoral staff. I want to speak for servants of God who are not free to speak for themselves on such a topic.  This is a vision I will pursue with confidence, professional integrity and passion.

It was a privilege to be part of these classes.  You were correct when you said that this experience would strengthen my appreciation for MISD.  The spiritual and academic levels of both leaders and participants was inspiring.  I continue my degree studies with renewed enthusiasm.

God's best to you,

David Cox, B.A. Music Education, John Brown University; Studies at Mid-America Baptist Seminary; Lincoln Christian Seminary; M.Min., D.P.Th. in Christian Administration, Master's International School of Divinity

Thank you for one of the best and meaningful seminars I have recently experienced!  Your information will be most helpful in dealing with the women coming to counseling in my office.  I am the only female counselor, and women do request another female. Many of my clients have been abused, or have addictions, or may be suffering from post-abortive stress.  I am excited about the Master's International School of Divinity Programs and have devoted this coming year to more seminars and another degree in specifically this area. I am grateful that our paths have crossed and we know that this is not a coincidence!  God knows what He is doing...sometimes, it takes me, His servant, longer to figure it out.

Anyway, I wanted to thank you again,

Lorraine Griffiths

I cannot say enough about the wonderful experience I have had with MISD. I spent this last week alone with God in the beautiful woods of the Missouri Ozarks and I was reminded of the wonderful students, faculty and staff that God has called to the school and the tremendous impact they have made in my life and the ministry to which He has called me. May God continue to bless His ministry at Master's as he works through each of you to prepare men and women as servants of Christ Jesus.

In His Service,

Pastor Jim Jupin, First Congregational Community Church

Thank you so very much for an enriching experience as I completed some of my Doctoral Program requirements by taking the seminars course. The high quality of the seminars as well as the excellent caliber of the professors provided a scholarly and meaningful experience for me.

The professionalism of your staff consistently provided a comfortable environment for the seminar student. I plan to take additional seminars as a continuing education student.

Sincerely,
Susan Hunt
 

The spirit of the living God moves us who are seeking to know him, as well as others blessed by His spirit and anointing, in mysterious ways. I am still in awe and utter amazement at how the Lord brought me into an educational and spiritual relationship with Master's International School of Divinity. I give all honors and praise to the Lord Jesus Christ for providing to me this divine relationship and communion with God spirited and inspired men and women at this great school. For several years, I prayed to be lead to a divinity school that advocates biblical doctrine as its core. My prayers have been answered!

This is my second seminar with Master's International School of Divinity; and like the seminar before, I have received the richness of biblical teaching from both. The professors/biblical scholars Dr. Frey and Dr. Frazier both possess an anointing and abundance of knowledge. More importantly, their ability to provide sound in-depth biblical interpretation along with their experiences as preachers and teachers make for an extraordinary learning experience. Each learning experience with Master's is a building block that will equip me to grow spiritually, gain greater biblical understanding, and to become better able to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ!


In the Sprit of Christ,
Dr. Petrina D. Revell
