Bible School |
||
|
The purpose of the Bible School is to provide a setting where students can personally discover through the written Word, the daily reality of the living Word, Jesus Christ! It is our desire as a school "...to impart to you not only the Gospel of God, but also our own lives..." (I Thes. 2:8). It is through these personal relationships that the Holy Spirit can begin to truly communicate a heart attitude of willing abandonment to Jesus Christ, irrespective of the consequences. By getting to know Jesus Christ as your risen and indwelling Lord, you will find the joy of discovering that you ARE fully equipped for full-time Christian living, 24 hours a day (II Peter 1:3). |

Study Program |
||
|
The study program is designed to give the student a thorough and functional understanding of the entire Bible as God's living Word to the Church and to the world. The first term (September to December) is comprised of Old Testament books and topics, while the second term (January to March) covers New Testament studies. The third term (April to May), with its lighter class schedule, includes additional Bible study projects, allowing the students to more intimately develop their personal Bible study skills. Holsby Brunn has a well-equipped reference library in which to complete various self-study projects as well as do general research. Most classes are taught in a concentrated one or two-week block form, with five lectures each day (Monday to Thursday). Fridays are set aside for practical work around the campus. Saturday mornings are reserved for small-group family times, while Sundays are for worship and relaxation. (College credit: Many colleges and universities accept courses completed at Holsby Brunn). |

Evangelism and Outreach |
||
|
A vital part of the school program is reaching out with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Outreaches include local churches, schools (English and religion classes), singing and drama teams, youth cafes, scout programs, and many personal opportunities to minister to local youth. God has provided many opportunities to evangelize in local and national sport clubs, schools, and youth groups. By using sports as a means of communication, personal and cultural barriers are broken, allowing for a more effective sharing of the Good News of Jesus Christ. Participation in team sports such as basketball, hockey and soccer, are ongoing outreaches throughout the year. A school basketball team plays in the very competitive Swedish Division II during the Bible school terms. Additional sport outreaches during the Bible School include local gym nights and various coaching opportunities. The center's new climbing wall and ropes-course are a tremendous asset to the summer camp ministry as well as the local outreach during the Bible School. They offer great opportunities to discover and teach Biblical principles of faith, trustworthiness, risk, and commitment in a challenging and safe environment. |
