In preparing a devotional thought for communion at the empty tomb in Gethsemane this summer, I read everything

I could again on the resurrection of Christ. The Case for Easter by Lee Strobel reminded me that this is the most important moment for the Christian. Yes, Jesus suffered and died, but others have done that. Only Jesus arose from the dead and continued to teach and inspire His followers to give their lives for Him so that they too could “rise again”!

After reading the accounts again and praying, I came to the same conclusion that Peter did. On the day of Pentecost he reminded the people that David was still in his tomb and had not ascended into the heavens. He said, “This Jesus God raised up, and of that we all are witnesses.” This is THE point of everything for the Christian.

Boise Bible College exists because of this event in history. All of our classes equip our students with knowledge to preach and teach others the same thing that Peter taught. “He is alive” and this changes everything.

On May 15, we graduated 50 students who have a firmer foundation in the teachings of Christ and the skills to apply those teachings in ministries around the world. It was exciting to watch as students walked across the stage and to hear where they are heading. Already, I am receiving notes from some who are scared, tired, and excited. Some are in foreign countries. Some are in new pulpits or classrooms. All are ready to “fight the good fight” for the Gospel of Christ.

You will read about our mission, values, and vision in another part of this Outreach. Let me remind you that without the prayers and funding of many Christians we would not be able to send as many well equipped Kingdom workers out to the harvest fields. You are important to our fulfilling our mission. We have never taken our eyes off of Christ or the original focus of BBC, which is to prepare young men and women for Kingdom service.

May you have a great summer relaxing with family and friends. Remember our students who are “going” because of your help.

DEVELOPMENT NEWS

Boise Bible College started classes the fall of 1945, so when classes start in August it will mark the 70th year of classes held at BBC. The dream of a few men has grown into an arm of the Church that equips Christians for a life of ministry. The staff and board recently refocused on how we state our mission, values, and vision. Our conclusions

were fairly simple – Boise Bible College has not changed in purpose, but we did find a clear and articulate means to express our direction and purpose. Our desire is that with a clear understanding of the mission and values of Boise Bible College our alumni, friends, and supporters will embrace our vision and encourage students to prepare for a life of ministry at BBC.

4 OUTREACH • SUMMER 2015

In our first two articles, we dis-cussed the desperate NEED for “shepherds” in our churches who

will commit to love and care for the “flock” and, secondly, the absolute necessity that these caretakers be men “above reproach” in char-acter and integrity. This final article will emphasize that the elder must be a man of ABIL-ITY as well. Not all good men are skilled; nor are all skilled men good. The elder must be good AND skilled.

The skills required of the elder could probably be grouped into two broad categories: able to teach and able to manage.

Teaching is part of the job description of an elder. A man who cannot teach should not be an elder. Paul said that he must be “able to teach” (1 Tim. 3:2). The Greek structure of Ephesians 4:11 describes the office as “pas-

tor-teacher”–NOT two offices, pastors and teachers, but ONE

office with two duties, pastoring (“shepherding”) and teaching. 1

Timothy 5:18 says, “Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy

of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching [literally,

“in word,” or “in the Word”] and teach-ing.” To become a “disciple” of Jesus is

to commit to be a “learner”–the meaning of the Word–and the elders are the ones to

insure that each new member is taught (Matt. 28:19-20: “Go therefore and make disciples...teaching

them to observe [keep, obey] all that I commanded you”).Paul is most clear to Titus, when again describing the

necessary traits of all elders (Titus 1:5-11): “holding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teach-ing, that he may be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict” (vs. 9). The elder must be able to “weed and feed.” The shepherd must

feed God’s Word to God’s sheep. He must be a long-time student of God’s Word, a “man of God” who can “han-dle accurately the Word of Truth” (2 Tim. 2:15), since it is the Scriptures which he must use to “teach” the believ-ers, “reprove” them, “correct” them, and “train [them] in righteousness” so that they might be “equipped for every good work” (2 Tim. 3:16-17). He must oversee every teaching arm of the church (Sunday School, Bible studies, youth groups, small groups, etc.) and squelch any seed-ling “weeds” of false doctrines before they have a chance to gain a foothold. Any false teachers, who “teach things they should not teach,” should be corrected or, if need be, “silenced” (Titus 1:11).

Besides having teaching skills, the elder must be a capable manager. Many terms used to describe the office highlight the need for him to be man with good judg-ment and executive skills. The elder is described as an “overseer” (1 Tim. 3:1-2, Titus 1:7, 1 Peter 5:2, Acts 20:28). This was a term in common use to describe numerous administrative, superintendent positions in governments throughout the Greco-Roman empire. The older trans-lation “bishop” might be a little misleading. The term doesn’t suggest the complex hierarchical structure of Catholicism, Anglicanism, etc., or “the piece that can move diagonally,” as one teen guessed. It suggests an official elected or appointed to an authoritative position of oversight.

Depending on the translation, elders are called “rul-ers,” “commanders,” “leaders,” “stewards” (estate manag-ers), “caretakers,” “administrators,” or “governors” (1 Tim. 3:2, 4,5; 5:17; Titus 1:7,9; 1 Thess. 5:12; Heb. 13:7,17,24; Romans 12:8; 1 Cor. 12:8). They take the lead in determin-ing the course the congregation will follow.

They see that all the affairs and programs of the church are biblically and efficiently attended to. That’s why they must show the ability to “manage their own households well” (1 Tim 3:4; Titus 1:6) before they should be entrusted with managing God’s larger “household,” the church. They are so involved with the flock that they are immediately aware when “spats” develop between mem-bers, and will quickly, tactfully, and fairly mediate disputes. They must assure church harmony.

Besides teaching the flock, they are responsible to also train each member for ministry (see Ephesians 4:11-12). The elders should not do all the work of the church, but see that every member finds his/her place to serve the needs of the body. Their goal is to “present every man complete in Christ” (Col. 1:28-29), so that every

Equipping for the Journey: The NEED for Skilled Elders

Part 3 of 3


Dale has faithfully served as the Greek and New Testament Professor at Boise Bible College since 1980 and retired from full-time teaching at the end of this school year. Next year, Dale will return as an adjunct professor, teaching second and third year Greek classes. Dale earned a M.A., M.Div, from Cincinnati Bible Seminary and a B.A., Cincinnati Bible College. He came to BBC with experience teaching at CBC for three years, two years as youth minister, and seven years preaching ministry. He has been active in the church community in Boise serving as an elder and teacher. He was active in a local prison ministry. He enjoyed playing sports with students, and he and his wife, Janine, have three children and six grandchildren.

believer contributes something to the well-being of the body and the work of the church (see Eph. 4:13-16; Romans 12:4-13; 1 Cor. 12:7-21). Like good trainers, coaches, and parents, the elders are commissioned to develop the skills of others, skills for life and for ministry in this case. It has been said, “A good leader instills in his followers confidence in him; a great leader instills in his followers confidence in themselves.” Great elders provide quality training for their members in life skills (regarding their finances, marriages, parenting, decision-making, etc.) and in ministry skills (able

to evangelize, teach, give a meditation thought, usher, greet, host, etc.) so that they confidently serve the Lord and the church. The elders keep a keen eye on the growth of each member, and recognize when he/she is ready to be promoted to positions of greater responsibility.

Every church needs elders; needs elders committed to love and care for the flock, needs elders above reproach and needs capable elders.

35 Years Teaching at BBC

During Spring Conference, we celebrated Dale Cornett’s 35 years of partnership with BBC. Dale moved his family from Ohio to Idaho in 1980 to become one of three

full-time professors. He has taught Greek, New Testament, The Life of Christ, and Cults among other courses. He has poured 110% into his work and has been loved by hundreds of students over the years.

We honored Dale at the Alumni Gathering with the theme of “Faithful” and held a reception in his honor on Tuesday evening of Spring Conference. Dale will continue teaching some Greek courses and speaking on various subjects at local churches. He also plans to write some books. One of Dale’s famous quotes of the day was, “You can tell the character of a man by the way he deals with children, animals, and a flat tire.” WE WILL MISS DALE!


Here are some of their plans:

• Jakob King (BS ’12) will be leading a group to Haiti to work with Haitian Christian Missions. Students going include: Chris Renk, Danielle and Colin Barth and Ryan Chromey.

The mission is BOLD, but the need to share the gospel is urgent. Help BBC equip leaders by your prayers and financial support!

Equipping Servant Leaders

OUTREACH • SUMMER 2015

Our mission is bold: Boise Bible College GLORIFIES GOD by equipping servant leaders who build up the church to advance the

gospel worldwide. We do that by teaching in the classroom and by experiential learning in the field. Often the best way to teach is to show by example. Each summer we have staff and alumni that lead the way in serving to build up the church to advance the gospel worldwide.

This summer, Danny Harrod (BA ’79), Intercultural Studies Professor, will be traveling to Africa via Germany. He will be connecting with various mission works in Kenya and beyond after visiting with Tony Cole (BA ’10) who is serving in campus ministries in Tubingen, Germany. Dr. Derek Voorhees, New

Testament Professor, will be teaching at a youth camp in Alaska and flying to Thailand to teach at Asia International Seminary in Chiang Mai. He is also speaking at a CIY conference in Florida. Russell Grove (BA ’86), Christian Education Professor and Amber Grove (AS ’86), Christian Teaching Professor and Librarian, will be serving in several youth camps in Oregon and Montana this summer. Several other staff members will be at camps, conferences, and preaching in local churches as they spread the gospel worldwide. Students will be around the world this summer as well. Some will be on short term mission trips, and others will be spending the majority of their summer break serving and learning in missions and churches.

ERIN JOHNSTON - BS Biblical Studies. Speaking from 2 Corinthians 11:23, Erin encouraged us to develop a resume’ similar to Paul’s. She challenged us with the idea that “equipping others to Christ-likeness requires us to boast.” Instead of boasting in our own qualifications, experiences, honors, and references, we should boast in our weaknesses, embarrassments, bruises, and brokenness. When we are weak, He is strong.

JEN RUIZ - BS Worship Ministry. Through a transparent sharing of her life story, Jen admitted that she fights the urge to hide behind masks. From Hebrews 4:15 she learned that “the masks we wear cover up our ability to reveal Christ to others.” The lie is that we need to be ashamed of our story, that Christ cannot use our pain, shame, and anger. She encouraged us to surrender to God and come out of hiding.

LUKE EMERY - BS Preaching Ministry. As we prepare to be sent out, Luke suggested that we need to be ready to receive people. He pointed out that Jesus received lepers, widows, tax preparers, and children (those pushed to the margins of society) and empowered them for ministry. Luke suggested that if we are hurt and are not feeling God’s presence, then perhaps we are not spending time where He is. Have we humbled ourselves and served the insufficient people in this world?

DANIEL MEADOR - BS Preaching Ministry. Daniel used the opportunity to speak in the first person as Moses! Through a creative dramatization, Daniel helped us understand how Moses faced life challenges and yet he became a very effective change agent. Moses had his inadequacies and excuses, but God put him to work and changed the world. Daniel challenged us to respond to God’s call and become agents of change in the world around us.

Highlights From Chapel

One of the high points of the week at BBC, while classes are in session, is chapel service. Twice a week we gather to worship, to fellowship,

and to hear from a visitor, a professor, or a student. The singing, the prayers, and the messages help us center our lives on God and His grace and mercy. Please consider joining us if you are near the college and want to share in the experience.

We always look forward to Spring Semester when we ask some senior students, representing each academic department, to speak and share what is on their hearts. This group of thirteen students did an exceptional job and set a new standard for others to follow. To hear and be blessed by the messages visit www.boisebible.edu/student life/chapel resources.

SPRING CONFERENCE 2015

Dr. Gary Johnson and the e2Elders inspired all who attended to both understand Biblical leadership and apply it in their roles as elders and leaders. Our

morning speakers made a strong case for leading in God’s name. Two hours of workshops each morning emphasized various ways to “Equip for a Life of Ministry.” Dr. Johnson spoke each night, ending with a powerful message on the importance of prayer. (Copies are available of all the sermons and some workshops are available. Send an email to [email protected] if you are interested.)

Students, staff, and visitors were able to attend many different events including: a dinner theater under the direction of Professor Russell Grove, a networking lunch to meet our professors and speakers, a women’s luncheon, the alumni golf scramble, and afternoon workshops. Between sessions there was plenty of time for fellowship and meeting other leaders from around the country.

A highlight of Spring Conference is the awarding of scholarships to students. This year we were honored by having CH William Robinson, BBC graduate and US Air Force Chaplin, on hand to present the “Medal of Honor Scholarship” to David Hamilton. We awarded over $30,000 in scholarships.

The conference ended with the singing of “How Great Thou Art” acapella as the presidents, Dr. Kenneth Beckman (1949-1972), Dr. Charles Crane (1990-2007), and Terry Stine (2007 to present) came to the stage.

Reflections on Life at BBC by Dr. M. Ben Williams, professor of Preaching and Old Testament and Prof. Rebecca L. Owens, professor of English and Literature.

When Ben Williams first conferred with Chuck Faber about

his teaching at Boise Bible College, only one question gripped his mind: Is equipping for ministry what BBC does or is equipping for ministry something BBC does? Within five minutes, Ben had an answer – Boise

Bible College equips for ministry, period. When Rebecca Owens first considered a faculty

position at Boise Bible College, only one inquiry motivated her decision: Was this ministry the Lord’s will? Over the next ten days, the Lord affirmed that teaching at BBC was a fulfillment of her God-given identity.

Ben and Rebecca quickly realized that ministry is not an afterthought at BBC, nor does it compete with other degree programs. At BBC, ministry in the Kingdom of Christ means life. A curriculum too focused on training Christians for careers can easily neglect to teach Christians for life. 1 John 5:11-12 proclaims: “God has given us eternal life, and this life

is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.” Ben found a faculty who disciples their students. Rebecca found an administration that follows the Holy Spirit. Both have found a training ground balanced by Christ’s grace and truth and focused on Christ’s ministry – His life.

Although Ben teaches preaching and Rebecca teaches English, both are instructors of ministry. Both are ministers of the Gospel. This truth fulfills their lives at Boise Bible College because the board of directors, the administrators, and the faculty all recognize that ministry is people-centered communication, whether verbal or written. In fact, this people-centered communication translates into every degree program at BBC: Helping Professions, Deaf Ministry, Christian Education, Children’s Ministry, Intercultural Studies, Biblical Studies, Preaching Ministry, Youth Ministry, and Worship Ministry. This is why Ben and Rebecca appreciate the heart and soul of this school, because every aspect of it intentionally seeks to promote the Kingdom through spreading the Gospel worldwide.

CAMPUS VISITS ARE THE BEST!In a digital era where web sites and slick promotions drive the race for student

enrollment, the campus tour is still king. In fact, a strong percentage of our student body made the decision to attend Boise Bible College after stepping foot on campus for an event or a tour. Campus tours are uniquely designed to form a sense of belonging to the school’s unique mission and vision.

For this reason campus tours are important to how Boise Bible College recruits future students. We have several unique opportunities this fall for campus visits, including: the Connect Conference for middle school students; two Perspective events in November; Third Thursday Tours and we will gladly arrange an individual tour when requested.

However, this should by no means be viewed as the only tool in recruiting students. A sense of belonging is best accomplished through a multi-

level scaffold approach. There are many layers in making this happen and each is vital in calling prospective students into BBC’s mission and vision.

Our alumni do a great job of establishing a sense of belonging as they live for Christ, promote Boise Bible College, and challenge people toward ministry. The local church is regularly finding creative ways to partner with Boise Bible College. Youth Ministers create a culture of belonging when they bring students to youth conferences on campus. BBC students serve the local church and proudly tell others about their God and their school. When we all do our part to expand the mission and vision of Boise Bible College we create a sense of belonging that cannot be measured. The campus visit exists to prove everything they’ve seen and heard is true. Students don’t go to Boise Bible College. They BELONG to Boise Bible College.

Do you know someone who needs to schedule a campus visit? Contact the Admissions Office about sending the students you’ve been investing in to one of our Third Thursday Tours or Perspective events.

The leaders at Boise Bible College place a high priority on an educational experience that provides students with opportunities to grow and expand in practical ministry preparation. We are in partnership with Johnson University who, like us, requires all ministry students to fulfill an internship prior to graduation.

This summer Johnson student, Tate Abernathy (a junior working for a B.A. in Management of Nonprofit Organizations), is interning under the mentorship of our Dean of Students, Cody Christensen. Tate requested this opportunity specifically because he noticed that BBC stands out among other colleges as one that administers godly stewardship and is intentional through the “waypoints” system in transformational education. Tate’s passion for equipping Kingdom workers makes him a great match with our commitment to equip servant leaders who build up the church. We are enjoying having him on campus.

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT: ADAM BAKER (BS ‘95)Starting over for Adam Baker meant leaving everything behind and seeking

God’s blessing for a whole new life. At age 30, from the tent he called home in Boise, he found an advertisement for BBC in the Yellow Pages. After visiting campus, he remembers praying, “God, if you want me to do this, you’ll have to pay for it.” He had no home, no job, no money, and no Bible. God answered that prayer and today, in his Oakland, Oregon barber shop, he proudly displays his BBC diploma alongside a “Paid in Full” receipt from our Business Office.

Ministry did not come easy for Adam, and after a short located church ministry he again asked God for direction. God’s answer was, “everything you need for ministry is already inside you, now just go and use it!” Today Adam is using what he learned at BBC, and God is blessing the community through his little barber shop, his painting, and his writing. His first book, Taking Them Back! Restoring the Man God Intended You to Be, is available on Amazon.com.

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT: BEN SMITH (BA ‘03)

We honored Dale Cornett at the Annual Gathering during conference week with the theme of “Faithful.” The food was prepared by Ray DeLoe (BS ‘90) and Val Welch, BBC Business Manager. Thirty-five graduates were welcomed into the Alumni Association through the presentation of engraved “2015” wooden crosses. Danny Harrod (BA ‘79) was the auctioneer. The auction and golf scramble helped raise over $11,000 for scholarships and alumni projects to encourage students.

ALUMNI GATHERING AT SPRING CONFERENCE

alumni news

Ben has been serving alongside Terry O’Casey for the last eight years at High Lakes Christian Church in La Pine, Oregon. The church recently announced that beginning in September Ben will be the Sr. Pastor and Terry will be moving into full-time work with Northwest Christian University.

Ben and his wife, Angie, and their three daughters are entrenched in the community. Ben’s response to the announcement was, “I’m humbled by the response of the church at the news. Our best days are ahead of us as we continue to press into our community as witnesses of Christ. My prayer is that of Solomon from 1 Kings 3:8-9, ‘Your servant is here among the people you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count or number. So give your servant a discerning heart to [lead] your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to [lead] this great people of yours?’”

Boise Bible College is pleased to see another alumnus serving as a servant leader building up the Church! Best wishes to Ben and family as he begins leading from a different seat!
