Hi Jesusfreak2...

Best place to start is go see your youth pastor or pastor and share with them how you feel called by God to go to Bible College. They'll give you heaps of advice on what avenues of service are available and tell you the preliminary steps you need to take. Talk it over with them and ask them to pray with you and for you.

Good on ya

Pray is the best advice i can give you

Yes, I agree that prayer is the best think to do in this matter JF! Maybe you are called to the ministry!

Hi welcome to the forums.

Keep praying and ask God for guidance. And ask your pastor too for any more info or details. There are plenty of bible colleges around.

Other than that, just keep obeying His will and you'll find out if you need to get into the college or not in time.

I agree to all of the above!!!

Fantastic!!! God bless you as you follow him!!!!!!

Keep in mind that "going into ministry" does not neccessarily require going to Bible College... It depends very much on what form of ministry God is directing you towards... In some cases it may be essential... in others not...

I would suggest that you do three things ... four really and they are (in order...
1) Pray...
2) Pray some more...
3) Discuss the matter with someone who you trust in the Lord, preferably a Pastor, Elder, etc
4) PRAY...

If this is what God wants for you, He will open doors you didn't even know were there and equip you fully to do His work...

Hi,
The best thing you can do is read the Scripture yourself first (at least once).
From cover to cover (don't miss out on any of the hard bits - they are God's Word also). I have found that very few Christians have read God's Word - but they have gone to Bible College or some other theological training centre.
His Word should form the basis for any work the Lord may have called you to.
Without the Scripture as the foundation, you have no foundation.
Read it - and be prepared to obey it - and He will guide you.

16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
May He bless you as you seek to obey, love and serve Him.

Sorry, but I forgot to give the Scripture reference for:

16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy, chapter 3:16,17 (but please read the whole book to put it into it's context).

I live in a remote area and study by distance education. Maybe you could start off with a unit or two and see if you like it.
