We all have that internal compass, that part of us that hopes we are heading in the right direction and choosing the right pathway for this short time we have on earth. Before I came to Harvest Bible College, “north” on my compass would change almost daily. I wasn’t sure where I was going or what purpose I was fulfilling in life, but I knew that God had a set course for me, and I didn’t want to miss it. During my time at HBC, God called me to serve, to study His Word, and to seek His kingdom first. He did some “heart” work on me, slowly changing my desires toward His. Now, my compass is fixed. No matter the storm in life or wind of opportunity that may come my way, He is my “north,” His Word is my map, and heaven is my destination. HBC has shaped me and prepared me for so many aspects of ministry that I never could have dreamed of, and I look forward to serving Him wherever He leads.

"Harvest Bible College has helped root me in God’s word and grown in my faith and knowledge of who God is. It has equipped me to minister in all areas of the church. I am now a part of the AV team in my local church and have been able to help in other churches where needed. I am also on staff at HBC as an assistant to the Academic Dean. Every two weeks, I am responsible for our National Children's Network of Prayer publication!"

“I attend HBC because I wanted to deepen my understanding of the Bible. I was raised in church, but I will always get excited when the Word of God becomes alive even after reading the same scriptures many times before. HBC not only taught the history of the Word but the instructors to how the Bible is still applicable today. The practical training I received has strengthened my personal and private ministry. My wife and I are a part of the Associates in Missions program with the UPCI, assigned to the UK. I also work for the promotions department for UPCI Headquarters in the Short-term Missions Department, Compassion Services International, and HBC. Fulfilling my love for missions.”

“Bible collage has deeply impacted my life. I graduated in 2013 and completed year two in 2022. I have been a part of various aspects of ministry from praise and worship, preaching, creating bible studies, and starting my own outreach ministry (Coffee Shop Ministries). I have also assisted my family in starting daughter works, extensions of our home church. HBC has given me many practical tools, from understanding the Bible and being able to research and create Bible studies to the physical aspect of ministry and reaching others.”

"The decision to attend Harvest Bible College (HBC) was one of the greatest investments that changed the trajectory of my life and ministry. The reward I gained was far more than any formal education could offer. I found HBC to be a unique learning experience; the theory and knowledge gained within the classroom was balanced with practical ministry opportunities in the field. Today, as a church planter, teacher and Pastor’s wife, I am grateful for the invaluable experiences that undoubtedly paved the way"

"I attended in 2012 and I’m thankful for everything I was taught. One of the most important things I learnt was finding time to pray. This is an essential part of one’s walk with God and HBC encouraged me to really invest in my prayer life, because it’s what will keep you firm, especially when you’re faced with the storms of life afterwards. This became evident post-graduation when circumstances arose that I could only survive in trusting the Lord. Through my experience in HBC I’ve learnt to pursue a deeper relationship with God, that has also enabled me to obey and find my joy in Him."
