Word Growth Institute (WGI)


Word Growth Institute (WGI)


What we have done, in order to make the implementation of the International Curriculum as simple as possible, is to divide it up into a systematic five-semester training program. Each semester will take roughly 12 weeks to complete, provided that only three hours of material is covered each week. The five semesters will take about a year and a half to complete at this pace. This is only a recommended structure, but it is based on past experience and an intimate knowledge of the material contained in the Curriculum. The semester format also provides a manageable means of releasing the material on the mission field, and helps to facilitate which material to translate and duplicate first in any country.

Each course on the curriculum has special notes that complement the video training. These notes contain a written overview of the video content, group discussion ideas, homework assignments and tests. There is a student workbook with blank spaces for pupils to fill in key words and phrases. The program is called the International School of Ministry. We will provide a Certificate after three semesters and a Diploma after five.

Literally thousands of schools can be started all over the world using this program. We invite pastors, missionaries and national church leaders to partner with us to start church-based training centers in many countries and languages. Using International School of Ministry materials, we can multiply disciples by combining the Principle of Twelve understanding with cell leader training.
