WEEKEND MINISTRY: Involvement in the local church is essential to the well-developed Christian. Students at the institute become involved in helping local churches on weekends throughout the year. Students are also taught how to minister through open-air evangelism, drama, puppets, sports and music teams.

WEEKEND RETREATS and SUMMER CAMP: The students gain counseling and camping experience at various weekend retreats during the year. The climax of the school year is Eternity Week. During this week (usually in February) the entire BI staff and student body travels to a selected area of the Philippines for an intense week of evangelsim and discipleship. April and May are spent in on-the-job training and practical experience through counseling and supervising at Word of Life Camp. During the college, high school, sports, inner city, and open camps the BI students learn how to minister to needs, present the clear message of salvation, and experience the thrill of guiding new believers into a closer walk with the Lord.
