Who are we?

The Bible Institute of the Air is a ministry of HCJB Global. For over 50 years, this ministry has been helping people go deeper in their study of God’s Word.

What do we do?

We promote the study of the Bible because we believe it has the power to transform lives. We offer 21 courses in Spanish, which include studies of the Bible, Christian doctrine and ministry.

Radio Programs

The goal of the radio programs in Spanish and Quichua is to help and encourage those who want to study the Bible. The subjects taught on the radio are based on the lessons in the advanced level courses and give the student a broader perspective of each subject.




Courses

Basic

This level includes two introductory courses:
  • "The Life of Jesus Christ," - a study of the Gospel of John.
  • "The Church of Jesus Christ," - a study of the Acts of the Apostles.

Intermediate

We offer one intermediate level course called "Rebosando" (Spanish for "overflowing"). This is a Bible survey, which includes lessons such as:
  • "What Does the Bible Teach?"
  • "What is Salvation?"
  • "The Bible - Spiritual Nourishment for the Christian"
  • "The Abundant Life"

Modes of Study

Correspondence

The series of 21 courses in Spanish can be studied in coordination with the radio programs or independently.

Quichua

In January of 2003, HCJB began producing the Bible Institute of the Air radio program in the language of the Quichua people of the Andean highlands. The students study by correspondence and meet once a month for a class session, using the materials in Spanish.

Extension Courses

The advanced level courses are also taught as extension courses. The students meet for classes and have reading assignments, homework and a final project to complete outside of class. Each course lasts 8-10 weeks.

Students who complete all 18 of the extension courses receive a diploma, which is recognized by the Seminario Sudamericano (SEMISUD) in Quito, Ecuador, and Miami International Seminary (MINTS) in Miami, Florida.

Internet

Three of our advanced level courses may be taken free of charge via Internet. For more information about these courses, visit our Spanish website:

How can you help?

Pray for our students, that they would “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” Also pray that God would give us wisdom as we endeavor to help and encourage our students in their study of His Word.

Inform any Spanish-speaking person you know about this opportunity.

Sponsor students. Most of our Quichua and extension course students are church leaders with limited resources. You or your church could sponsor a group of students, helping them with the cost of a course. The student pays half the cost, and the sponsor pays the other half.
