Christ for The Nations Institute is a Bible School that was founded by Dr. Gordon Lindsay more than 70 years ago. They have graduated more than 40000 students from over 100 countries in this period. The CFNI association of Bible Schools was established in 1993 to further the expansion of the Kingdom in the nations through strengthening the work of leadership training in associated bible schools.

Accreditation is an important part of certification, as it means that if a college is accredited it meets the minimum standards set by an accreditation agency. Minimum standards mean that there is accountability, that certain criteria are met, that there is good record keeping and that the college has outside recognition.

​

Please note, Lighthouse Ministries totally agrees with Revealed Word Bible College that graduating from a bible college does not qualify anyone to go into ministry. The call on your life and the anointing of God are the main requirements for ministry. Lighthouse Ministries, however, believes that upon completing the first, second or three year course that students will be fully equipped to be primarily disciples, thus followers of Christ and therefor actively involved in fulfilling the Great Commission.

​

Again, what makes Lighthouse Ministries Discipleship School so different? This school only focuses on discipleship. The first, second and third year are designed to equip and empower believers to be disciples of the Lord. The study course is intensive in equipping and training disciples to be active in their calling and purpose to the glory of God. The Lord has led us strongly on this path, for more than ever disciples need to be raised up according to the Great Commission, thus disciples who will also be able to fulfil the Great Commission. A lot of the colleges and schools are designed to raise up pastors, which is wonderful and awesome, but the Great Commission clearly expresses we need to make disciples, not pastors. To be a pastor, which is nothing more than under shepherd to Jesus, is a calling and not a job. If this is how the Lord leads, then become one to His glory, but first be a disciple.

​

Therefore, we believe more than ever followers of Jesus first need to lay the proper foundation of their faith and spiritual walk, therefore what is means to be a child of God and what it means to be a disciple of the Lord. This is important. Before we walk truly and properly in our calling and mandate, we need to first be disciples, and before you are a disciple, you are a son or daughter of the Lord.

​

For Lighthouse Ministries, it is all about discipleship. It is all about the Kingdom, and to know what the Kingdom is about and how to follow the King of the eternal Kingdom.
