For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come. Through him then let us continually offer up sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name... Heb. 13:14-16
We are extremely grateful to be able to contribute to the praise and glory of our Lord by training men and women for ministry and the Church. As we read in the in Hebrews 13:14-16. Only time will tell the sacrifice these men and women have given for the service of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We are confident that God will multiply the fruit through the training that has been invested in them.
This June the EBTC completed another year of classes in Berlin, Rheinland and Zurich. The Lord has been so faithful in allowing us to continue with the ministry here in training up men and women for many areas of ministry and proclaim the Gospel here in Germany, Switzerland and many other places in Europe.
Nine years ago in 2004 the first EBTC graduation was held. We rejoiced as three faithful men completed their training and went into ministry. From this 2012-13 year eight men completed their Preachers' Institute, 19 students completed the Biblical Counseling program and 85 students completed the Bible Survey year. We are constantly aware of God planting the seed and desire for His Word. God is building His Kingdom through individuals all over the world, just as we are witnessing here at the EBTC. The classes for the coming 2013-14 school year are nearly filled, Praise the Lord!
Thank you for your faithful prayers, encouragement and partnership in the ministry God is doing here!
Here a few photos of the graduations and what is to come in the next few months before the next school year starts in September.

Thank you so much for your Support and Partnership
The EBTC is financially supported mainly by donations of local churches and Individuals who see the equipping of people for ministry in the church as a part of their responsibility.
We want to thank you again for bearing the financial burden with us. We don’t take any support for granted, on the contrary—we see the Lord’s caring faithfulness and praise God (2 Cor. 9:12-15)!
It is our hope and prayer as the EBTC-Team, that in the continuation of the year of 2013, through God’s grace, that you will grow to be more and more like Jesus Christ our Lord.
