Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ
I need your help to develop the world’s first FREE On-line Bible School. The vision is to provide a resource that would prepare people for the work of ministry. These people may be in the third world or here in the west and have a heart for ministry, but perhaps do not have the finances, time or access to a Bible school. My company has helped numerous educational institutions develop on-line e-learning systems, so I can use these same web based applications for this web-based Bible School. This e-learning system will enable people to work through the Bible School curriculum, including the quizzes and exams, with very little or no human intervention, as everything is automated, including the student’s final course marks.
I will provide these e-learning systems, and the hosting services free of charge, but here is how you can help.
1) I’m looking for Bible School text books that are old enough not to infringe on any copy write laws, or curriculum where the publishers like the idea of this e-ministry and will offer the free use of the materials – I would be willing to offer such a publishing house indefinite exposure on the On-line Bible School for the use of such a resource. ONLY TEXT BOOKS THAT ARE CONCERVITIVE EVANGELICAL IN THEIR CONTENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Donations are preferred, but I will be happy to cover the cost of shipping if you wish.
2) I will need help to get these resources upon the web. The text books will need to be OCR scanned, placed in Word documents, and then cut & past in the web systems content management system. I have some people in my church who would like to help, but as you may appreciate, this is going to be an enormous task and more help will be needed.
3) I will need to set up a board of directors – I live in the Toronto area, but if the project excites you, and you have the right qualifications, I would love to know how you feel you could contribute.
