Overview:
Dr. Fabing realized over fifty years ago that Christians had few options to become trained caregivers. They were too often put in situations in which they were not equipped to effectively help others. Bridge of Hope Ministries has made it our goal to present Biblical concepts for training, teaching and counseling for restoration of the spirit, soul and body.
Hope Institute prepares Christians through a series of nine courses designed to guide those who are called to help others and for those who seek the deeper things of God. Biblical preaching and teaching seldom has follow-up with those who need more help in their life.
These courses will prepare the individual on how to use the Word of God along with practical techniques to intervene and overcome problems. It provides a lifetime of valuable resources for counseling. Each course was specifically developed as a result to fill the unfulfilled needs in people’s lives. The courses are comparable to college courses with questions/responses for accountability. These courses are low cost and enable you to complete them at your own pace. Upon completion a certificate of completion is given to the graduate.
