Rizal, Palawan, Philippines is a five-hour drive southwest from Puerto Princesa, the capital of Palawan. Our local partners, Pastor Rodney Dela Torre and his wife, Nena, are exceptional servants. On average, we host 35 pastors and leaders, both men and women. Although some trainees have biblical training, most of these pastors and leaders are homegrown with minimal formal or informal training. Some of these pastors are church planters, and many serve in tribal areas where the gospel is very limited, and the need is enormous.

CURRICULUM
Course 2 - Knowing the Bible's StoryCOURSE DESCRIPTION
Course 2 explores the general flow of Christ-centered redemptive history from Genesis to Revelation. Major themes that appear throughout—each including aspects of continuity and discontinuity—are God’s kingdom, covenants, people, kingship, priesthood, prophetic ministry, and mission. Each theme is embedded within Scripture’s testimony to the fundamental storyline of God’s plan to reconcile the world to himself under Christ’s kingship for his glory. The point of the whole course is to equip the trainees to answer the hermeneutical Question 2: How does it fit in the Bible? The issue of the Bible’s whole story is hermeneutically potent and foundational to handling individual texts and passages rightly.
