Testimonials from
Students Attending Accelerated Seminars.
"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!"

"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!"

I was very pleased with the Accelerated Advanced New
Testament Seminar. Having taken a number of New
Testament survey courses, I was impressed with the
content, scope, pacing, and pragmatism of the advanced
seminar. The emphasis on the spiritual dimensions of the
New Testament and the intentional connections made with
the four Gospels and the Johannine, Pauline, and Petrine
Epistles made the presentations both captivating and
thought-provoking. The multiple handouts, which were
distributed to help guide discourse, were a valuable
adjunct to remarks and illustrations. The handouts will
also be useful in the future for revisiting the notes I
took in class, for aiding in the preparation of
subsequent lessons and sermons, and for structuring
additional Bible study.
The style of presentation was easy to follow and
comprehend. The professor's anecdotes and supporting
comments were enlightening and entertaining. His
encouragement of active participation in the seminar
permitted the students to enrich and extend the
information presented. Spirited discussion, punctuated
with diverse points of view, created a vibrant learning
community, which accentuated the seminal points raised.
Challenging participants to reflect and apply new
insights and information made the seminar both edifying
and practical.
On balance, then, the Accelerated Advanced New Testament
Seminar was masterfully planned and orchestrated. It has
enlivened my interest in pursing more seminar
opportunities at MISD.
All Master's International School of Divinity staff
members are to be commended for an outstanding seminar.
Please express my sincere gratitude to each of them.
Personally and spiritually, the seminar and its
attendant activities were an unqualified blessing for
me.

My
experience with MISD has been totally positive. The
three seminars I completed were all well organized and
developed (they were also demanding). What has
impressed me the most is the teaching staff's emphasis
on becoming "doers of the word." I have taught
philosophy and world religion for a number of years and
have become increasingly aware that talk is cheap. I
have learned that we will fight for religion, pay for
religion, debate endlessly about religion, even die for
religion-- we are good at just about everything but
living it. My relationship at MISD has given me new hope
for the application of Christ's teachings.
May God
bless Master's International School of Divinity, and may you fully
understand how valuable you are as you throw your
"little" weight onto the eternal scales of good and
evil.
With love
and fellowship,

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.

Christ Jesus,

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 MGSD. 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;

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,

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.
