Thanks and appreciation for chairs sent. The first of the year we desire to have funds on hand to send additional chairs and hex tables in 2 pallets. Cost $5,000. The 3 pallets sent including delivery to churches and schools were $7,400. There were some funds provided or promised by Jamaica churches and schools to help with the dock, storage and handling fees on that end ($1,400 approx. included in the $7,400).
Jamaica Bible Seminary is not a full time college, with permanent residences and a cafeteria. It periodically has weekly classes where the local Jamaican leadership can leave their family, jobs and churches, study the scriptures and return for the next 2-3 months to work in their churches before the next session begins. Saturday afternoon classes, taught by capable Jamaican leadership, are being phased in and will be conducted in a timelier manner of 15 weeks of 2 hour classes. For those desiring full time studies for a fast track to a Bachelor degree, we highly recommend Windward Island School of Evangelism in St. Vincent or Winston-Salem Bible College in North Carolina.
We are not accredited, but have successfully transferred students to accredited colleges in the United States including Lincoln Christian College & Seminary and Ozark Christian College. We offer a Certificate or Diploma in Bible and Preaching/Teaching, Associate in Sacred Literature and also a Bachelor in Sacred Literature degree. We provide a low cost Bible education to our students. God bless. Dr. Richard J. Geringswald, President
