TIBI receives the Platinum Seal from GuideStar (Candid) for 2023

Guidestar (Candid), the world’s largest and leading source of information about nonprofit organizations, has awarded TIBI its Platinum Seal of Transparency for 2023.  This is the highest seal awarded.

It indicates that TIBI is among the top one percent of the 2.7 million nonprofits in the US in terms of transparency regarding our goals, methods, metrics, data, and results.

More than 10 million people visit GuideStar each year for guidance on how to give charitable donations.  Those with the platinum seal receive twice as many views, and receive 53% more donations than the some of the other seal holders.

All major US-based donor-advised funds use Guidestar (Candid), as well as millions of visitors to donation platforms like AmazonSmile, Facebook, JustGive, and many more.

We strive continually to achieve our mission the best way possible, and to be transparent about our work and results.  We hope this will benefit TIBI.  We welcome any questions you might have.

On Saturday, January 29, IBIT sponsored an academic seminar with Dr. Adolfo Roitman, who is the curator of the Dead Sea Scrolls, at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.

The topics covered in the three hours were:

  • The Dead Sea Scrolls—past and present
  • The sectarian phenomenon in ancient Judaism and the Jerusalem temple and its impact on the Jews
  • The origins of Christianity and the Essene matrix.

Although the seminar was given to train IBIT faculty, everyone was welcome.

You can see the seminar at this link.

 

AETH Certifies TIBI’s Bachelor’s Degree!

In August, after a process lasting almost two years, TIBI received word from the Asociación para Estudios Teológicos Hispanos (Association of Hispanic Theological Studies) that they have officially certified our Bachelors Degree, the Licenciatura en el Ministerio y Estudios Bíblicos (Bachelor of Ministry and Biblical Studies).

AETH | Asociación para La Educación Teológica Hispana

This certification is extended in collaboration with the Association of Theological Schools, the main accrediting agency of seminaries in the US.

This is a valuable external endorsement of our program which will allow our graduates to apply for graduate studies at any seminary in the US. We also expect this to result in an increased enrollment, as more people will find out about TIBI.  We are grateful to God for this blessing!

Our Mission

At TIBI–Texas International Bible Institute, or IBIT in Spanish–our mission is to make disciples who will make other disciples, planting and nurturing churches that are biblical, evangelistic, mature, and relevant.

The textual or ministerial information which our students learn at TIBI is only a part of what we teach.  We are convinced that we must also help students think clearly, in a creative, logical, and profound fashion.   Since it’s impossible to teach all Bible text and ministry skills in just two years, we emphasis the process of how to think, organize, and share what they learn here.

In addition, the atmosphere which we create for students is critically important.  We know that, along with all the good which students possess, there will also be differences of opinion, difficulties, and misunderstandings that emerge due to different backgrounds and distinct personalities which the students bring to TIBI.

We strongly believe that TIBI should be a safe, receptive place, where students can seek answers to difficult questions, make mistakes, and disagree with others–but do so with respect and love for all.  We want to set the example for how to maintain and open dialogue, seeking the truth passionately, even if at the end of the discussion we may not all be in agreement in every detail.

But we can be united in the core gospel–the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Christ, and how one is saved through Him.  This gospel we read in places such as 1 Corinthians  15:1-4,  Matthew 22:37-40, Matthew 23:23, and Ephesians 4:4-6.
