MISSION &
VISION

GLOBAL
BIBLE TRAINING

The Most Urgent Need of the Church Today
95% of Pastors Around the Globe
Have No Formal Biblical Education

50,000 new believers are coming to faith every day around the world. Who will pastor them? 

Our Mission and Vision
“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for
teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in
righteousness, that the man of God may be complete,
equipped for every good work.”
2 Timothy 3:16-17 ESV

The Fully Equipped Bible Institute’s mission is to biblically “equip
for every good work” through providing challenging pastoral and
leadership bachelor’s degree programs with biblical integrity and
practical ministry application.

We are highly focused on equipping Christian pastors, Christian
leaders, and serious followers of Jesus to obediently fulfill the call
of Christ on their lives, fully equipped for every good work.
Our vision is to remove the obstacles of geography, finance, and
technology so that believers in developing nations have the
access to biblical higher education that empowers them to
effectively fulfill their callings to pastor and lead in a challenging
world.

DEEP DISCIPLESHIP
TRAINING ROOTS

The Fully Equipped Bible Institute has been over two decades in the making. The vision was birthed in missions trips to Africa by Dr. Stephen Isaac and his wife Victoria. Dr. Isaac and Victoria were teaching at a leadership conference for pastors and profoundly impacted by the hunger for God’s Word and need for resources to learn from.

Shoeless pastors walked for miles in the winter rain  to attend the conference, only to walk back home and return again the next morning in the same conditions. After each teaching session we were approached with flash drives, asking if our content could be downloaded to their drives so they could use them at their churches.

It was a stark contrast to Christian conferences in other parts of the world with robust sales from tables loaded down with Bible training books and discipleship training curriculum DVD’s.

From that pivotal experience, the vision for the Fully Equipped Bible Institute was born – to remove obstacles and provide access to pastors, churches, and believers around the globe who desire to be fully equipped for every good work.

Dr. Stephen Isaac

Dr. Stephen Isaac’s mission is to spend a lifetime fulfilling his call to serve. After humble beginnings in pastoral ministry, he spent nearly fifteen years pastoring in mega-church ministry and over six years as the Missionary Man, hosting Radio Hope’s nationally syndicated late night radio program.

In May of 1999, he and a group of friends formed a small community of believers simply known as the Reunion Church.  Over twenty years later, the Reunion Church is now a flourishing community called to love God, teach His truth, and to care for one another in fellowship, communion, and prayer.

Dr. Isaac continues to learn and pursue his calling – shepherding, writing, teaching, mentoring, and serving through relational ministry. He provides discipleship training for Christian leaders and higher education Bible training for pastors and ministry leaders.  Dr. Isaac has published “Love Beyond Love, A Christian Community’s Manifesto to Loving Beyond Itself”.  It unveils the honest expectations of God for Christian leaders and the Christian community to align with biblical love, serving beyond our human capacities and prejudices to be Jesus to a hurting world.  It is available for purchase HERE.

His heart remains faithful to loving and being loved by the disenfranchised, wounded, and to walking with those left “out there” on the margins.  His deepest passion is reading and writing, and these days he views his mission simply as “cura animurim” (care-taking the human soul), desiring above all to be faithful to the real message of Jesus, to his family, and to God’s people.

Dr. Victoria Isaac

Dr. Victoria Isaac is called to Christian education and is passionate about Christian discipleship training.  She develops and teaches Bible training courses at the college level and at her local church.

Her background in missions has deeply impacted her mindset for equipping the Church to be the hands and feet of Jesus to the “least of these”.  From serving the homeless in inner cities, advocating for orphans, and ministering in Africa, her heart is drawn to the downtrodden and broken.

Dr. Victoria loves God’s Word deeply.  She has spent the last fifteen years teaching through the Bible from Genesis through Revelation in a chapter-by-chapter, verse-by-verse format.  She draws on this deep study of Scripture as a foundation for equipping Christian leaders with strong biblical foundations and practical discipleship training tools.

Dr. Victoria has published “The Grid of Truth, How to Think Biblically in a Deceptive World.”  She developed the Biblical Worldview course curriculum and teaches it at conferences, ministries, churches, and at the Fully Equipped Bible Institute.  It is available for purchase HERE.

Her newly released book, “Love Made Possible – How to Do What is Most Important” is the basis for the Biblical Priorities course at the Fully Equipped Bible Institute.  It is available on Amazon HERE.  For more information on the Biblical Priorities course, go HERE.
