The Thompson Bible International Institute (TBII) in its efforts to empower Christians in the Philippines on how to maximize the use of the Thompson Chain Reference Bible is organizing series of workshops.
In a recent release by its National Director, Pastor Johnny C. Gaco he said that this is an opportunity for Filipinos to avail themselves of this priceless Thompson Chain Reference Bible which is being giving out free to registered participants only.
According to him, the workshops will be held in Tagbilaran on September 9-11, Zamboanga, September 20-22, Pagadian, Sept 23-25, Maddela, Sept 27-29. Others are Dumaguete City, November 29-December 1, Bacolod City, December 2-4, while that of CSM Paranaque, will come up on December 9-11
Gaco noted that TBII seeks to motivate God's workers toward Spirit-directed Bible study, which will enable clear and effective communication of God's word adding that the ultimate aim is produce mature reproducing followers of Jesus Christ who live their lives in accordance with His Word.
On how TBII came to be in the Philippines he stated that in 1982, when Dr. John Jauchen, who’s the International Director & Bible Teacher, TBII, U.S.A., was ministering on the remote island of Mindanao in the southern part of the Philippines, and he noticed that good study tools were rare and in great demand in the country.
“Responding to the requests of Filipino pastor-friends therefore, Dr. Jauchen made an informal study of the major Study Bibles available at the time. He came to believe that the Thompson Chain-Reference Study Bible is one of the best one-volume study tools for people who were teaching and preaching on a regular basis. It has no study notes, forcing the student to rely on the Holy Spirit for his primary understanding of a passage,” he added.
Gaco stated that the Thompson Bible has more than 600 pages of reference material including a concordance, maps, and biographical helps and that its foundation is an excellent study system containing more than 4,200 topics, organized in an easy-to-use fashion.
In his words: “This study system facilitates the preparation of message series in a short amount of time. Using this Bible, the servant of God can preach topical, verse-by-verse, and biographical messages - all for the building up of strong Christians who will reproduce themselves in the lives of other people.”
In his own contribution, the facilitator, TBII workshop in Dumaguete City, Dr. Success Kanayo Uchime said that the TBII Dumaguete City workshop is going to be awesome. “You need to do an early registration to avoid last minute rush as limited space is there for participants - only 100 participants.”
He said that the venue for the Dumaguete workshop is Victory Christian Fellowship, located at #2/F Japi Building, 56, Ma. Cristina, (Beside Mero Bank), Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental and that the date is still November 29 - Dec. 1, 2010, starting at 7.00 am
“This is a two and a half day Seminar featuring the latest version of the Thompson Chain- Reference NIV Bible. Upon graduation the delegate will receive the latest copy of the Thompson NIV Bible direct from the USA, for free, a diploma qualifying the delegates to teach the Thompson Bible course and a personalized name inside the Bible,” he noted.
On the number of delegates required for workshop, Dr. Uchime said that the number of participants is limited to one hundred only, and that the registration fee is only P1, 600, “But early registration is P 1, 400.00, which is only on until October 30, 2010.
