We Teach Ministry, We Live Ministry, We Are Ministry...
DONATE TODAY & MAKE A DIFFERENCE
EPIC Bible College & Graduate School and its families are very appreciative of all our generous donors. So many lives will be impacted because of their willingness to give. We would like to thank all of you who have given with such generous hearts.
EPIC Bible College & Graduate School would like to express its gratitude to all the individuals, families and churches who value our ministry enough that they not only support us prayerfully, but financially as well.
“I could not even pray for a few minutes without my mind wandering, but thanks to EPIC Bible College helping me, I am able to not only pray more but I am able to take what I receive here into both my daily life and my local ministry work!”
Students are “THE REASON” for everything we do. When I think of my past 35 years at EPIC Bible College & Graduate School (EPIC), I think of students learning and growing, our alumni sharing the gospel all around the world. That’s the focus of our existence; to train students for ministry. Here are opportunities that we can partner together in stewarding the future:
“I failed before at other colleges and was afraid of going back to school, but thanks to the loving staff and key academic support I received at EPIC Bible college, I was able to finish my degree and now I am looking forward to continuing towards earning a higher degree!”
Opportunity “Reach”: The Bible shares a powerful verse on salvation, “How can they hear unless we tell them?” This same concept of sharing the gospel also applies to letting others know about what we do in training pastors for ministry. EPIC needs $50,000 to continue to reach out in advertising through online, radio, events, etc.
Opportunity “Redeem”: Scholarships are so important to helping students graduate. Many times, life’s difficulties come and the opportunity for hard-working students to continue becomes a very difficult challenge financially. Since EPIC is not owned or operated by any specific denomination or group of churches, we depend on financial support by you. We are working towards raising $50,000 to directly help deserving students to continue their call to ministry which God has placed on their lives.
“I came from Japan to learn more about God’s Word and be trained for ministry. Because I have been so dramatically transformed by God in my studies at EPIC Bible college, I am now able to be effective in ministry to the people of Japan in a whole new way!”
Please pray right now and invest in one of the three opportunities needed, as we continue in our 45th year of powerfully impacting this world with the love of God through our students! We have many of our graduates teaching, preaching, planting churches, and starting Bible schools. Your investment in one life will impact many people! It will not only be a tax benefit, it will multiply as an eternal investment in Heaven.
“God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. Hebrews 6:10 NIV”
Many students could not have had an education at EPIC if it wasn’t through generous people who gave. Your generosity is deeply appreciated by all of us. Please take the time to thoughtfully and prayerfully consider the positive impact your gift can have on our students and the families we serve.
