Welcome
From the President of Christ For The Nations
My parents, Gordon and Freda Lindsay, founded Christ For The Nations in 1948 as a missionary enterprise originally called The Voice of Healing. During the past 63 years the Lindsay organization has helped complete over 12,400 church buildings world-wide, provided over 60 million pieces of free Christian teaching literature in 80 languages, networked an association of more than 45 international Bible schools and trained over 30,000 students at our Institute CFNI. Bringing the life-changing message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all nations is our sustained mission. CFN's global outreach works to fulfill that call by sharing God's love in tangible ways helping the less fortunate during crises and emergencies, supporting orphanages, building roofs to finish churches, supporting missionaries and alumni around the world all the while equipping ensuing generations for the strategic advancement of the Gospel of Jesus. CFNI alumni around the world have helped us remain focused on that goal. God has set apart Christ For The Nations Institute for the purpose of raising up disciples to become authentic worshipers of God who are passionate world-changers, sharing their contagious faith in Christ. Like my parents, Ginger and I carry on the work at CFN as a team, together with a remarkable family of volunteers and staff. In November 2010 our Board of Directors unanimously elected Ginger Lindsay as Chief Operating Officer further affirming the Lindsay legacy. Ginger oversees the myriad of day-today operations that take place on our 80 acre campus ensuring that we are operating true to our mission. We invite you to join us in Dallas at Christ For The Nations Institute. Discover and develop your Godgiven gifts and deploy your capabilities to advance God's Kingdom on the earth. Remember, Christ For The Nations is more than our name; it's our mission! Blessings, Dennis Lindsay President & CEO

From the Director of the Institute

Hi Guys! If your heart is like mine all Ive ever wanted to do was make Jesus happy and see my generation transformed. I am living that dream right now, but it all started 22 years ago once I had finished my Bible School training. From there I never looked back. May this be a piece of your story as well. Proverbs 4:7 says Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom, though it cost all you have, get understanding. I would challenge you to spend all you have to get a hold of God and his words while you are here at CFNI. Drain these teachers and professors of every ounce of wisdom you can get from them!

Introduction to the Institute

HISTORY
Christ For The Nations Institute was established in 1970 by Gordon and Freda Lindsay. The Institute was birthed out of a long history of missionary and evangelistic endeavors. The Lindsays founded The Voice of Healing in 1948 to bring together healing evangelists in a common bond. A monthly magazine reported what God was doing in this healing revival that spread throughout the United States and abroad. In 1967 the name was changed to Christ For The Nations, and by this time a significant missions outreach was established providing financial support for the completion of native churches and the distribution of evangelistic literature. For several years Gordon Lindsay had been impressed with the need and burden for a school to prepare people for the supernatural ministry, with special emphasis on the operation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Then in 1970, Gordon believing that he had received a mandate from the Lord to start a training center, founded Christ For The Nations Institute and began training students in a bankrupt nightclub. This Institute was one of Gordon Lindsay's last visions before his home going on April 1, 1973. The founding vision of this Institute was to raise up ministers, evangelists, missionaries and laymen who would have a solid foundation in the Word of God, be strong in prayer, able to minister in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and be practically equipped to launch into the ministry of the supernatural. Gordon envisioned thousands of Spirit- filled believers going forth doing exploits for God around the world. After Gordon's passing, Mrs. Freda Lindsay followed that vision and the ministry flourished. Today, CFNI graduates are positioned all over the world. More than 28,000 students, both domestic and international, have been trained at CFNI and empowered by the Spirit to touch others with the same Gospel that has transformed their lives. Christ For The Nations global impact has reached into 120 nations, teaching the Word of God through Bible institutes, publishing books in 81 languages, aiding in worldwide relief projects, and assisting native congregations in building more than 11,000 churches all over the world.

Academic Policies
Standards of CFNI
In this day of disappearing moral absolutes, it is imperative for all Christians to be reminded that the Bible is the revelation of Gods truth, and it must determine not only our doctrinal beliefs, but also our lifestyle. In an ever-changing world, the Christian has an unchanging standardthe Word of God. CFNIs standards of conduct are based upon the teachings and principles of Scripture. CFNI seeks to develop personal holiness and discipline which is exemplified in a lifestyle that is glorifying to God. CFNI provides Biblical training for Christian discipleship and leadership with its traditions springing primarily from Pentecostal, charismatic and evangelical roots. Since spiritual education involves intensive Bible study, practical ministry experience, and development of sound discipline, the Institute requires that each student agree to adhere to the following standards while at CFNI: 1) To become familiar with and to abide by the requirements set forth in the CFNI Academic Catalog, Student Handbook and any amendments. 2) To adhere to the standards of personal behavior set by the institute and supported by Scripture, whether or not the student agrees that they relate to a consecrated Christian life. These standards prohibit, but are not limited to, specific acts such as: a. Lying, stealing, cheating, slanderous or profane language; b. Violence, assault (verbal or physical); c. Occult practices; d. Immoral behavior including, but not limited to: abortion, adultery, fornication, any form of extramarital sexual activity, cohabitation, homosexuality, lesbianism, and use or possession of any form of pornographic material; e. In addition, ungodly habits such as the use or possession of alcoholic beverages, tobacco, non-medical narcotics or hallucinogenic drugs, including marijuana, are strictly prohibited; 3) To endeavor to help others abide by the Institutes objectives and standards: a. Neither inciting nor helping another to violate the Institutes standards; b. Encouraging adherence to the Institutes standards by word and example; c. Talking privately with someone observed in a fault in the Biblical manner. The person observed then has a responsibility to correct his behavior. (See Gal. 6:1, 2; Jas. 5:19, 20.) If he/she persists in disregarding the CFNI standards, it then becomes the moral obligation of the student or faculty member to report the violation(s) to the appropriate authorities (see Lev. 5:1; Matt.18:15-17); d. To refrain from any kind of academic dishonesty, including cheating on exams or assignments and plagiarizing. Students must maintain appropriate standards of health and hygiene, such as proper use of medication, rest, and nutrition. Student involvement in any prohibited activity at any time during the school year or during breaks, whether on campus or elsewhere, is grounds for immediate disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal.

In every situation, the student is responsible for entry of correct information in the Add/Drop Request and for making sure that the request progresses through each step in the Add/Drop process, whether the process is conducted in person on the main campus or through faxes, telephone conversations or computer. To be properly executed, the request must be received in the Registrar's Office before the deadline. Any appropriate refund will be calculated according to the date the Add/Drop Request is received in the Registrar's Office. Students are subject to a $25 fee each time a drop is made.

Note: International students are responsible for maintaining appropriate course loads per INS guidelines. All add/drop/withdrawals can only be processed upon approval of the International Enrollment Office and appropriate dean.

Official Withdrawal
It is the student's responsibility to officially withdraw from the Institute when necessary. Failure to officially withdraw through the Registrar's Office will cause the student to receive an "F" in each course regardless of the record at the time one ceased to attend class. (Withdrawal from the Institute does not automatically withdraw the student from housing). After the Add/Drop deadlines recorded on the Academic Calendar, a student may drop one or more courses; this is defined as withdrawal. Withdrawal from ALL courses on ANY date is known as Official (Full) Withdrawal from the Institute. Students will be required to have an exit interview with the appropriate dean prior to Official (Full) Withdrawal from the Institute. If the student has entered into a financial deferment agreement, the student should meet with Student Services before leaving campus. In every situation, the student is responsible for making sure that their withdrawal request progresses through each step in the withdrawal process, whether the process is conducted in person or through faxes, telephone conversations, or computer. Any appropriate refund will be calculated according to the date the withdrawal request is received in the Registrar's Office. All requests are subject to the appropriate fee(s). NOTE: Once the withdrawal period has expired, the grade of "F" will be assigned for courses not completed.

CFNI adheres to the guidelines established by American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers' (AACRAO) guide for the retention of records, the Registrar's Office retains the following documents in a student's permanent academic record: application and correlating documents, academic appeals, and final academic transcript. The following is a list of various records maintained on each student and where they are housed.

Access to Student Records

Each year this institution gives notice of the various rights accorded to students pursuant to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). You are hereby notified of the following: 1. The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days of the day the Institute receives a request for access. Students should submit written requests that specifically identify the record(s) they wish to inspect to the Registrars Office. The Registrar's Office will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. 2. The right to request the amendment of the student's education records that the student believes is inaccurate or misleading. Students may ask the Institute to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should notify the Registrar's Office of this request, clearly identifying the part of the record which they are requesting to be changed and specifying why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the Institute determines that the record will not be amended as requested by the student, the Institute will notify the student of that decision and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing. 3. The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One such exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the Institute in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the Institute has contracted (such as an auditor, attorney or collection agent); a member of the Board of Directors; or a student serving on an official Institute committee or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities. Upon request, the Institute also discloses education records without consent to school officials of another institution in which a student seeks or intends to enroll, or where the student is already enrolled so long as the disclosure is for purposes related to the students enrollment or transfer. Another exception which permits disclosure without consent is for the disclosure of a student's directory information. "Directory information" is defined as a student's: Name; a. address; b. telephone number; c. e-mail address; d. date and place of birth; e. major field of study; f. enrollment status (full-time or part-time); g. participation in officially recognized activities h. dates of attendance; i. degrees, and/or awards received; j. most recent previous educational agency or institution attended; k. photographic, video or electronic images that are taken and/or maintained by the Institute; and other similar information. A student may request that directory information, in part or in whole, be withheld from disclosure by providing a specific written request to the Office of the Registrar on or before the last day of late registration each term. Such a request is valid for the school year. A new non-disclosure form must be filed each fall. If no request is filed with the Registrar's Office, the Institute may release directory information to the general public upon inquiry. 4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by Christ For The Nations Institute to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the office that administers FERPA is: 17

10.19.11

Family Policy Compliance Office U.S. Department of Education 600 Independence Avenue, SW Washington, D.C. 20202-4605 Pursuant to FERPA, an institution of higher education may disclose to a parent or legal guardian of a student information regarding any violation of any federal, state, or local law, or any rule or policy of the institution, governing the use or possession of alcohol or a controlled substance regardless of whether that information is contained in the students education records if, (a) the student is under the age of 21; and (b) the institution determines that the student has committed a disciplinary violation with respect to such use or possession.

Change of Name or Address

A student who, after registration, changes a local or home address, or a student who marries (documentation required) after enrollment at Christ For The Nations Institute, is expected to notify the Registrar of this change immediately. Any communication from the Institute which is mailed to the name and address on record in the Registrar's Office is considered to have been properly delivered, and the student is responsible for the information contained therein. Current and former students of Christ For The Nations Institute may request a change of name on their student records, including but not limited to academic transcripts, with appropriate documentation. Current and former students who request a change of name on their records must provide to the Registrars Office, in person, the original legal document which verifies the change of name requested. These original legal documents would include a valid marriage license issued by a county or city clerk, a divorce decree from a court of law and/or a change of name decree from a court of law. A copy of this original document will be made by the Registrars Office and retained in the students file. For those current and former students who are unable to produce an original legal document to the Registrars Office in person, a legally certified copy of the original document verifying the change of name may be mailed to the Registrars Office. The certified copy will be retained by the Registrars Office in the students file.

Official Communications
A request that a student report to an administrative office or faculty office may be made in person, by e-mail, by mail, by telephone or through the appropriate dean. Failure to immediately comply with such a request may result in disciplinary action. Communications to the entire student body are considered properly delivered when they are sent to the student's CFNI e-mail account, student portal, placed on official campus bulletin boards, on the campus announcements, or sent to the student's address on record in the Registrar's Office. Each student is responsible for checking their CFNI e-mail account, student portal, and the announcements regularly, and giving proper heed to such communications.

Transcript of Credits
The transcript of college credits is an official copy of the student's permanent record, bearing the school seal and the signature of the Registrar. Copies of the student's transcript are available upon the student's written request from the Registrar's Office. There is a fee for this request. Students requesting transcripts at the close of a semester should allow for delays in receipt of transcripts due to the posting of grades. Transcripts will not be released if the student has outstanding financial, academic, or administrative obligations to the Institute except as occasionally required by law. This policy includes, but is not limited to, the Finance Office, the bookstore, music department, housing office or any other department or agency considered a part of the Institute. Transcripts will not be released until the student is clear with the Financial Office.

Grade Point Average

A student's relative progress toward a degree is measured in part by the grade point average. To determine the grade points earned in each course, simply multiply the number of credit hours for the course by the grade point value of the grade received. For example, a student who made an "A" in a three-hour course would receive 12 grade points for the course (3 credit hours x 4 =12 grade points). The grade point average is determined by dividing the total number of points earned by the number of credit hours attempted. For example, a student who had earned 36 grade points in taking 12 credit hours of courses would have a grade point average of 3.00 (divide 36 by 12 to get the average grade point). 18

10.19.11

The cumulative grade point average for students is determined by dividing the total number of points earned in all courses completed at CFNI by the total number of credit hours attempted. The minimum satisfactory cumulative grade point average is 2.00. CFNI requires a minimum institutional cumulative GPA of 2.0.

Repetition of Courses
If a student repeats a course, the last attempt is a permanent grade for the course. Any previous grades will remain on the transcript, but only the last attempt will be counted in the cumulative grade point average. A student may not repeat at another institution a course in which a grade has already been earned at Christ For The Nations Institute. CFNI grades always take precedence over courses taken at other institutions.

Audit Grades and Policy

A student who has paid an audit fee may visit a course; however, there is no privilege of class participation including taking tests and submission of materials to be graded. A grade of AU will appear on the students official transcript for any audit courses. Any extended attendance requires registration and payment of appropriate fees. Auditors are admitted to classes on the basis of available space. Please contact an Enrollment Services Advisor for additional information.

Grade Reports
CFNI students can access their unofficial transcript through their CAMS student portal. Final grades will be available as soon as they are received from the faculty and entered by the Registrar. While nonpayment of ones CFNI student account results in suspension of a students access to his/her CFNI transcript or printout of grades, the student is permitted to make an appointment with the Registrars Office to examine his/her transcript on the computer screen in order to review academic status. The Registrar is not allowed to print out a transcript and give it to any student whose account balance has not been cleared.

Student Ministries Program

Every semester CFNI offers a wide variety of student ministries, which give the students, in the first and second year programs, an open opportunity to gain practical experience in Christian service as they apply what is being studied. For one unit of credit, there is a minimum average requirement of 2 hours of ministry per week for each semester. The following ministries are available: STM-102 STM-104-E STM-105 STM-107 STM-108 STM-110 STM-111 STM-113 STM-115 STM-116-F STM-116-M STM-116-W STM-116-O STM-119 STM-122 STM-123 STM-124 STM-125 STM-126 STM-127 STM-128-E STM-128-S STM-132 STM-133 STM-134 STM-136 STM-138 STM-140 Children & Family Evangelism Hospitality and Special Events International Connection Jail and Prison Kids For The Nations Local Church Spanish Multi-Media Prayer and Intercession RA Leadership (Families) RA Leadership (Single Men) RA Leadership (Single Women) RA Leadership (Off-Campus) Service Hosts Student Council Yearbook Technical Arts Tuesday Night Missions Worship & Arts Ensemble Youth For The Nations (English) Youth For The Nations (Spanish) Spanish Audio Spanish Music The Remnant Community Events Museum of Earth History Spanish Translation

CFNI Spanish Program

The Spanish Program at Christ For The Nations Institute trains and equips Hispanic students from around the world to teach the Gospel. Each student plays a vital part in becoming a part of our family at the Spanish Program, and helps to turn it into a place where they can experience God's presence. Each day begins with times of prayer and intercession, followed by praise and worship. The classes not only allow the teachers to express their biblical knowledge, but to also share their experiences, along with the moving of the Holy Spirit. This powerful combination makes the Spanish Program at Christ For The Nations a place that is training leaders for this generation and beyond. The Spanish Program offered at CFNI consists of the first year foundational studies of the three year Bachelor of Practical Ministry Degree. First year courses are offered in the Spanish language, and then students continue their second year in the English program where some Spanish classes will be offered. Before entering the second year English Program, Spanish Program students are required to take the English proficiency test to determine whether or not Remedial English will be needed during the course of their second year. The students then have the opportunity to complete one of our Third Year Majors. Our goal is that every student will have the ability to graduate with a Bachelors degree from Christ for the Nations. 42

10.19.11

The second year English Program consists of a required class entitled Principles of Healing and Miracles I, a choice of second year Major Courses, as well as several electives, some of which will be offered in Spanish, and Student Ministries from which students may choose. Students are encouraged to contact the Spanish Program offices for more information.

Remedial English Program

Remedial English courses are required for international students who need assistance with the English language. Classes are offered at Level I through Level III and are held one night per week. Remedial English is offered in addition to regular day classes, and is also available for domestic students who desire additional training in the English language. Tuition is $165.00 per semester. International students are required to take the English proficiency test at the beginning of their first semester to determine if Remedial English is required. Spanish Program students are required to take the English proficiency test upon completion of the one-year Spanish Program prior to entering second year classes. Please contact the Remedial English Program at 214-302-6498 or email remedialenglish@cfni.org. Any appeals regarding the testing requirement or results for Remedial English placement should be directed to the Academic Affairs Office.

CFNIS Music Education Department

Training students with a heart of worship, and a spirit of excellence The story of David in the Bible and the Book of Psalms, and many other passages, teach us about the power of music. Its not merely an emotional crutch or beneficial entertainment music in praise can be a mighty weapon in fighting the fight of faith. In linking music with Gods powerful, life-giving word we not only honor Him, we also find courage, and a pathway for healing of body, soul and spirit. As the daily disciplines of worship prepare CFNI students to love and obey God more, opportunities are also available to develop musical skills through CFNIs Music and Arts Lessons. From the very first semester students may enroll in private or group lessons in voice, or private lessons in piano, guitar, drums, and much more. These course are in addition to the degree plans offered and do not count towards the degree completion requirements. Our teaching team consists of experienced and dedicated professionals, who are eager to respond to the enthusiasm and potential of CFNI students.

CFNI Evening & Weekend Program

In keeping with its mission to train world changers, CFNI provides practical ministry training for those individuals unable to enroll in the daytime classes.

International students who desire to complete the Advanced Diploma of Practical Ministry, Diploma of Practical Theology, or the Certificate of Biblical Studies must successfully complete one summer term as part of their course of study. Students are not permitted to fulfill their summer term requirements through any other means than the following two options: 1) CFNI Missions Outreaches: Each summer, faculty and staff members lead outreaches to various countries including the U.S. Students are given cross-cultural experiences that will enable them to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with different people groups using various methods and teaching tools.

The Summer Outreaches are announced each year in October and again in January. Students must adhere to the summer outreach behavioral guidelines. 2) CFNI Internships: Students are able to earn their summer credit requirement by registering for credit and participating in one of our on campus or local CFNI internships.

Gordon Lindsay House of Prayer

On October 28th , 2007, the Gordon Lindsay House of Prayer opened twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. It is a place where hundreds of students can find solitude amidst the stirrings of dorm life on the CFNI campus. As the leadership of the school has so desired, it has become a place of intimacy with God for students and faculty alike. The GLHOP (as it is affectionately called by those who volunteer regularly) is not only a place to find personal alone time with God, but even in the beginning stages there were over forty hours a week dedicated to corporate prayer meetings. These corporate prayer meetings consisted of student and faculty volunteers who gave sacrificially of their time each week offering their voice as a sweet fragrance before the throne of heaven in loving worship and intercession. Over one hundred people served in various positions in the House of Prayer as musicians, singers, prayer leaders, and overseers. They came in agreement with Gods heart on a variety of issues, including the campus and student life, different countries, Israel, different political and governmental issues, local church bodies, and the end-time harvest. Jesus said Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His Harvest. ( Matt. 9:38 ) The House of Prayer is intimately related to CFNIs vision of raising up and sending out laborers into the mission field. It is in the place of prayer that people grow and are nurtured to hear the voice of the Lord. The House of Prayer is a practical setting where students can take the principles they have learned in the classroom and lead other students into the presence of God and participation with His plans. There is no better training ground for the future generation of world changers. The GLHOP is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for students and faculty to seek the Lord. For more information visit the website at www.glhop.com.

Attendance
Attending Christ For The Nations is both a privilege and an honor. We have found there is a direct correlation between those students who practice good attendance habits and those who become most successful in Christian service. Impeccable attendance builds Christian character and integrity, and is an integral part of the CFNI discipleship program. CFNI students are challenged to grow in integrity and character by being good stewards of class time. We believe that God has called each student here and will empower him/her to act responsibly in attending all classes and services. Further explanation of the attendance policies is located in the CFNI Student Handbook under Student Disciplines.

New Student Orientation

Each semester every new student is required to attend an Academic and a Deans' Orientation the week prior to Opening Rally. These two orientations will introduce the student to the deans, faculty, and administration from Christ for the Nations Institute. (More information is given to the student upon campus arrival)

Student Dress and Appearance

CFNI enforces dress code rules that apply to all single and married students, their spouses, and dependents living on campus, as well as all off-campus students. Modesty and femininity are the guiding principles for women's dress at CFNI. The guiding principle for men is to be well groomed, clean, and neat. Please refer to the Dress and Grooming Code in the CFNI Student Handbook for more details.

Campus Security
All students are asked to be watchmen, reporting suspicious strangers on campus immediately to the Security Department.

If you have a very serious or lifethreatening emergency, call 911 before calling Security.

Discipline Policy
The Student Affairs Committee consisting of several faculty, administrators and staff handle disciplinary matters. Every student should be familiar with the CFNI Student Handbook, which outlines personal accountability. When needed, special counseling is available for students. The dean's department follows several rules to implement discipline when it is necessary, which in extreme cases can lead to the student's dismissal.

Personal Conduct
In this day of disappearing moral absolutes, it is imperative that all Christians be reminded that the Bible, as the revelation of God's truth, must determine not only our doctrinal beliefs, but also our lifestyle. In an ever- changing world, the Christian has an unchanging standard, the Word of God. CFNI's standards of conduct are based on the teachings and principles of Scripture, seeking to develop personal holiness and discipline exemplified in a lifestyle glorifying God.

Student Handbook
Since spiritual education involves intensive Bible study, practical ministry experience, and development of sound discipline, the Institute requires that each student become familiar with and to abide by the requirements set forth in the CFNI Student Handbook and any amendments while at CFNI.

Course Descriptions
First and Second Year
I and II Peter BIB-235 I Peter addresses Christian living in the midst of persecution. His exhortations of faithful living provide the backdrop for the reason of the hope that is within Christians; we have a heavenly inheritance. We will see how developing patience in the midst of unjust suffering equips the believer to become a redeeming force in the wo rld in spite of suffering. II Peter is a letter that gives instruction and exhortation as he is nearing the end of his life. Whereas I Peter encourages Christians to maintain their hope in the midst of persecution, II Peter warns Christians against false teachers within their own fellowship who would try to lead them away fro m Christ and into apostasy. Fidelity to the apostolic teaching is the main theme because heretical teachers are within and without the church. I, II & III John is an in-depth journey into the life of the Apostle John and the letters he wrote before his exile on Pat mos. In this course the student will receive a clear p icture of the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, who is light, love and life. The student will also gain a greater understanding of what it means and looks like to truly live in fellowship with Him.

MIN-259

Today, we live in an increasingly secular-minded world, within which someat besthave only a fading Ch ristian memo ry, one that only barely influences culture, if at all. Despite our decidedly Christian beginnings, our Judeo-Christian ethical values are factoring less and less into the development of citizens inner constitutions, with the result that, though many pay lip service to a Christian agenda, many really know nothing about it. Most people live philosophically rudderless lives, after wh ich they are thrust into a Christ-less eternity. Mindful of the erosion of Judeo-Ch ristian faith, virtues and vision in our culture, and its replacement with hedonistic visions and values, it is imperative that serious-minded believers be enabled to offer a ready and steady defense of the Gospels truth claims, and its demands upon believers todaythus the purpose for this course. Hopefully, we will find this process both intellectually invigorating and spiritually stimulat ing, as we consider the essence and substance of our faith, and how we might creat ively advocate for its out workings in modernity. This class will endeavor to thoroughly acquaint the student with the seven fundamental doctrines that form the foundations for growth and maturity in the Christian life. This course examines the basic questions of our faith such as Who Is God, Who Is Christ, Who Is the Holy Spirit, What Is Church, How Are We Saved, How Has God Revealed Himself, etc. The course is designed to be informat ive, inspiring, and challenging. The student will come away with a deepened faith and a desire for further Biblical and theological study. This course aims at identifying and imp lementing basic Biblical financial principles, and how they apply to a Christians life. Specific emphasis will be placed on the concept of personal finances and the miraculous. Specifically, we will look at how God provides through work as well as divine provision. We also will cover practical fundamentals such as budgeting, savings and debt elimination, (yes, elimination!). Additionally we will contrast such topics as contentment versus covetousness; tax evasion versus tax avoidance, and treasure on earth versus in heaven. This course is an overview of the ancient Hebrew Language. You will have the ability to read and write the Hebrew alphabet, speak and recognize a large vocabulary, and have the ability to search the scriptures and decipher the words and their meanings fro m the orig inal text. We will discuss the importance of the Hebrew language, and how your knowledge of this can help in your ministries, as well as when you personally study the Bib le. We will also touch on how the Hebrew Language has held the people of Israel together for many centuries in the Diaspora. This course focuses primarily on the contextual study and application of the book of Acts for Ministry in the 21st Century. This course looks at the history of Acts, current practices for Acts min istry, and thought for the future. The course will look at a plethora of theological topics and practical ministry elements as it relates to the early and present day church. The course will challenge you as a minister to know your bib le and relate Jesus to a world that thinks he is not relatable. The Book of Esther is an in-depth journey into the lives of Gods chosen people after their release fro m Babylonian exile. In this course the student will receive a clear p icture of the providence and sovereignty of God. The student will also learn the value and importance of possessing a godly and teachable character that they may become vessels of honor fit for the King.

The epistle to the Hebrews is said to be the finest commentary on the relationship between Christ and the Old Testament[1]. Through personal inductive study and classroom lecture this class is designed to provide the student with an in-depth understanding of the superior person and min istry of Jesus Christ as He is contrasted with the people and min istry of the Old Testament. The student will discover how the theological truths and principles of this book apply to New Testament faith and practice. Special attention will be given to the Seven-fold Excellencies of Christ, The Priesthood of Christ, The New Covenant, The Five Major Warnings, and The Exho rtations for Superior Living. A look at Ro mans as a kind of Christian manifesto of freedom through Jesus Christ. Pauls letter contains the greatest doctrinal development recorded in Scripture. The student will see unfolded freedom fro m alienation into reconciliation, fro m the wrath of God into the favor of God and freedom fro m enslavement to sin into liberated loving service in behalf of the crown rights of King Jesus. This mo rning chapel provides students with an opportunity for worship and to hear fro m special guest speakers. This course is designed to assist Christian workers and those going into pastoral ministry with the basics of biblically based counseling techniques. Case studies and other experiences will be d iscussed in group settings. The main theme of each chapter will center on how to let the Ho ly Sp irit move in the counseling procedure. The Apostle Paul wrote as a pastor to the saints in Corinth. The church was a focal point for trade, the capital o f the province of Achaia, and ho me of the Ro man proconsul. Corinth was not only a famous city of culture and trade, it was a city of sin, known fo r its problems and shortcomings. In Corinth, we get a realistic view of the early church, and situations that prevail in the church yet today. Paul dealt head-on with heresies and practices of vulgarity and immorality in his letter, yet with fatherly affection and instruction for the people of this church that he founded during an 18-month stay while on his second missionary journey. I Corinthians 1:10 sums up Pauls purpose for his letter, ...that you all speak the same th ing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. The Corinthian letters give practical instructions for dealing with sin and misconduct in the church, as well as valuable teaching for successful leadership and spiritual ministry through the gifts of the Holy Spirit to the Church. The theme could be success in life and min istry. The study of The Corinthian letters is foundational for every believer, and musthave instruction for church and ministry leaders. The messages of Paul to the Corinthians will make you a better Christian, a mo re powerful witness, and a well-equipped minister of the Gospel. A study of the evolutionary theory versus creation science fro m a b iblical standpoint. Provocative ideas regarding the flood and other catastrophic biblical events will be discussed, including those that are to occur at the end of the age. This lab will provide students with an opportunity to explore evidence of creation science outside the classroom.

THE-237

The fact that Jesus first act of healing involved the casting out of a demon (Luke 4:31-36) is an affront to some twentieth century minds, and many would want to dis miss the deliverance aspect of Jesus ministry as a delusion of first century understanding. But to do that, necessitates labeling Jesus as having been deceived by the limitations of his own culturehardly an acceptable conclusion pertaining to the Son of God. Jesus said, When you see the finger of God casting out devils you know that the Kingdom has come Any ministry that is King dom effecti ve has embraced the whole ministry of Jesus; not only healing, but also the casting out of devils. And Jesus went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil (Acts 10:38). So me healing cannot come without deliverance. The healing ministry of Jesus was totally balanced, mean ing that He min istered, not just to the temporal body, but to the entire man, spirit, soul, and body of people as well as delivering them fro m the powers of darkness. A ministry which ignores any of these aspects could be considered to be unbalanced. The ministry of Jesus must be the ministry of the church today. This course is designed to help you understand and to come into the practical min istry of Jesus; the how-tos, as well as the pit falls to avoid. We will deal with various subjects concerning: Min isterial Conduct and Defilements in this Ministry, Out of Control Behaviors, Sexual Perversions and its Effects, Satanic Accesses, Demon ic Influences and Curses, Kingdom Authority Principles, Sanctificat ion Freedo m Principles, and Bib lical Apologetics for the Deliverance Min istry itself. In this course the student will learn through the study and the knowledge of Gods word, and spiritual weapons, and the authority that the believer has delegated by Christ on the devil and demons. The students will also learn about war strategies and how to develop spiritual and practical skills, and how cast out the demons. (2 Corinthian 10:4) Ministry to children and preteens is exciting and rewarding. These young people are most definitely a generation of destiny. This course will examine who they are and how to effectively reach them with the gospel and train them to be World Changers. This course examines the Book of Revelat ion and those parts of the Book of Daniel, which relate to end time p rophecy. This course will be a co mparative study between the major interpretive approaches. The Book of Revelation is an encouragement to believers throughout the church age who endure persecution, as well as, a book of hope proclaiming the triu mph of good over evil. This course is designed to lay a foundation of evangelism that will remain in your spiritual D.N.A. for the rest of your life. We will review the mandate given through scripture that calls all believers to win souls. Not only will evangelistic methods be taught, but strong principles to help you move in the power of God while sharing with the lost. This course covers power evangelism, p rophetic evangelism, servant evangelism, developing your personal testimony, and so much more. You will not only increase your burden for the lost, but will receive training to effect ively move in the Power of God wherever you go or in whatever field God has called you. This course is designed to assist the student it developing an awareness of the mean ing of the call of God and identify various life experiences that conveyed a sense of destiny and the call of God. Th is course will explo re various issues that are used to develop and sustain those called to min istry.

This course is designed to equip an aspiring youth worker with the tools needed to become a youth specialist for th is generation. This course covers current trends that are consistently changing each year in youth culture. It will also cover some of the long term issues that keep our teens in a state of crisis. Through extensive research projects, challenging and thought provoking discussions and interactive classes this course will give each student a realistic view of youth ministry today. This is a required reading assignment for all new students as well as returning students that have not completed this during their time at CFNI Dallas. The purpose of this assignment is to ensure an understanding of the lives of our Founders, Gordon and Freda Lindsay, and the history of Christ For The Nations. The Gordon Lindsay Story narrates his conversion, call to ministry and early years on the evangelistic field. It also tells of God s call to organize great salvation and healing campaigns, the inception of The Vo ice of Healing, and how God used it all to spearhead apostolic min istry all around the world. In 1976, Freda Lindsays book, My Diary Secrets, was published giving readers an intimate look into her early years, her marriage to Go rdon Lindsay, and the min istry God gave them. Freda, The Widow Who Took Up the Mantle is the continuing chronicle of how God moved in her life and the min istry at Christ For The Nations. An overview of the foundational grammar and vocabulary of Ko ine ("Co mmon") Greek, the language emp loyed by the Apostles, the other inspired writers of the New Testament canon, and the Septuagint (the most ancient translation of the Hebrew Scriptures that is of great value in Old Testament research). The princip les taught in this class will be to help students understand and recognize the voice of the Lord. They will be fascinated and encouraged as they explore the many facets and ways of hearing His voice. Emphasis on understanding of the Word of God and how it relates to hearing and developing sensitivity to Him will be an integral part of this course. Ult imately, students will learn confidence in hearing His voice as they experience and judge what they hear. Students will desire to apprehend and challenge themselves to experience the voice of the Ho ly Sp irit in a way that will make a difference in their lives both personally and professionally. A study of the transmission and translation of Scripture and of the principles and procedures of their interpretation and application. HERM ENEUTICS: the study of the methodological principles of interpretation (as of the Bible); a method or principle of interpretation. Attention will be focused on the function of the Holy Sp irit in the areas of communicat ion, ad min istration, and motivation. The student will be taught about the sovereignty of the Holy Spirit and His function as our Pathfinder. An in-depth study on the person of the Holy Spirit and His operation in the Church. An overview will be conducted of the on the Holy Spirit s work in salvation, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the Ministry gifts and the Fruit of the Sp irit. The course is particularly designed to help students develop a deeper appreciation, Biblical foundation and growth in their relationship with the Ho ly Spirit. A study of the art and science of preaching as well as a look at useful communicat ion skills. In additional, the course will offer a thorough examination of effective biblical co mmunicat ion.

As the title informs, herein students will consider Israel in history and prophecy. History, of course, speaks of yesterday, whereas prophecy speaks of tomorrow. Our wh irlwind tour begins with the Jewish peoples origin, rise and subsequent temporary demise. The nations eventual and providential reemergence as nation state will be considered, as will the particulars of her miraculous re-constitution. In sum, we will follow the people across the spectrum of human h istory: fro m Abraham to the battle of Armageddon. In conjunction with our so doing, the story of Israels estranged Arab cousins will be considered, in brief. Th is will not only give one additional background for understanding biblical literature and present problems, but it may well shed light on things to comein what perhaps may be the not-too-distant future.
