Course Syllabus: http://www.mbseminary.edu/fresno/courses/syllabus/13015792
MBBS Student and Spouse Discount: $25
In order to assure that there will be an audience for the Married to Ministry course, we need to ask that anyone who is interested in attending let us know before next Tuesday at noon. While we are confident that this course has potential to be an important event for MBBS and a valuable opportunity for the spouses of pastors, we will be forced to reschedule if we do not receive a minimum number of registrants. Current MBBS students and their spouses can register for the course for only $25, through next Tuesday at noon.
Everyone else can register for only $50. Following Tuesday, registration will be $100. If you register early, you can pay at the door.

The other January intensive course is "Evangelism and Church Planting," and will be taught by Victor Wiens, who recently returned from extended service as a missionary in Brazil. The course is designed to help each student "develop understanding and skills according to his/her giftedness, ministry calling, educational needs and cultural context." This course will run from January 12-19. For more information, click here.
