Bible Correspondence Courses
Over the past year, more than 50,000 people registered to participate in LHM’s Bible Correspondence Courses and nearly 33,000 internationally completed their first course. These Bible-based studies enable people of all ages, faiths, and educational levels to explore the Bible’s teachings and the Christian faith from the security and comfort of their own homes. LHM’s ministry centers present BCC content according to the needs and characteristics of their local cultures and typically offer multiple courses under a variety of titles. Many centers offer courses for both adults and children.
Impact of Bible Correspondence Courses
Brigita teaches kindergarten in Latvia, where she enjoys answering children’s questions. Yet unanswered questions tugged at her own heart. As a child, Brigita had visited church, but that was the extent of her experience. She got married and had children. Life grew hectic. “I always felt like there was something missing in my life,” she says. “I always said I believe in God, but I’m not the person who will attend church on Sundays. I felt I don’t belong there.”
One day, while with a Christian friend, their conversation turned to religion. Brigita shared her lingering questions. Her friend encouraged her to seek answers. Since Brigita didn’t feel comfortable visiting a church, her friend recommended signing up for LHM’s Bible Correspondence Courses. This would allow her to explore Christianity at her own pace. The teacher became like a student. Brigita enrolled in the BCC program, and the Lord worked in her heart and brought her to faith in Jesus. Brigita found a local congregation, which she continues to attend today. In receiving the answers to her questions, she learned one of the greatest lessons of all: “Only God can fill your soul,” she says.
