Strategy

The strategic goal of Theologische Schulungs-Service (World Reach Europe) is to teach Christians in their linguistic, cultural and social environment in association with local Churches how they can:

  1. grow in faith
  2. reach out to others and win them for Jesus
  3. become able to fulfill their various tasks in Church
  4. train and disciple others.

This strategy can be applied to all cultures and countries.

Finances

Theologischer Schulungs-Service e.V. (World Reach Europe) is a “faith” ministry, trusting God to provide the financial resources necessary to do the work of ministry. All team members are responsible for raising their own financial support to sustain their public ministry and private lives. The amount of support necessary for this is defined by the Board. Financial support for a team member may come from a variety of sources based on his personal contacts.

All donations are used for the designated purpose. However, an administrative fee is assessed (12 % in the States, 5 % in Europe) to help cover costs to promote Mission work. On your donation, please indicate, how you wish the funds to be used.

Our Beliefs

Doctrinal Statement – We believe:

  • That the Bible, consisting of sixty-six books of the Old Testament and New Testament, is the inerrant and complete Word of God, the final authority in all matters of faith and practice. (2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Pet. 1:20-21; Jude 3)
  • In a God, who is eternal, a threefold person: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Deut 6:4/Mt-28:19/Lk.3:21-22)
  • That Jesus Christ is God´s only son, conceived through the Holy Spirit , born of the Virgin Mary and he was truly God and truly man ( Lk.1:30-35/John 1:18/3:16/Phil.2:5-11)
  • That man was created in the image of God, that he sinned and through his sin caused not only bodily death but also spiritual death, by which man now is separated from God. Man’s nature is sinful and he is a sinner in thoughts, words and deeds. (Gen.1:26-27/2:16-17/3:6-19/Rm.3:10-23/7:18/11:32/Gal.3:22)
  • That the Lord Jesus Christ died as a substitutionary and complete sacrifice for the sins of the whole world and that only those who believe in Him are saved, and this on the basis of His shed blood. (Rom. 3:24-28; 5:8-10; 1 Tim. 2:5-6; 1 John 2:1-2)
  • That the Lord Jesus Christ arose from the dead in the same body in which He was crucified; that He ascended into heaven in His resurrected, glorified body and is now exalted at the right hand of the Father as Head of the Church. (John 20:1-19; Acts 1:9-11; Eph. 1:20-23; Heb. 1:3)
  • That both the believer and unbeliever will be resurrected bodily in their own order: the saved unto everlasting bliss; the lost unto everlasting and conscious punishment. (1 Cor. 15:1-50; 1 Thess. 4:13-18; Rev. 20:11-15; 21:22)
  • That on the sole condition of personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, men are born again by the Holy Spirit; that at regeneration, all believers in this age are indwelt by the Holy Spirit, baptized by the Holy Spirit into the in the Body of Christ and sealed by the Holy Spirit unto the day of redemption. (Rom. 3:24-28; 8:9-11; 1 Cor. 12:13; Eph. 4:30)
  • That sanctification, which is separation unto God, is threefold: positionally, the believer was sanctified at his conversion by virtue of his union with Christ; progressively, he is continually being sanctified through the Word as he walks in the Spirit, thereby overcoming the lusts of the flesh and producing the fruit of the Spirit; ultimately, he will be completely conformed to the image of Christ when he sees his Savior face to face. (John 17:17; Eph. 5:26; Col. 3:1-4; Heb. 10:14; 1 John 3:1-3)
  • That the Lord Jesus Christ will come after his Church, which is His Body, at the end of times. Later He will return to this earth personally, visibly and bodily. (John 14:3; Acts 1:10-11; Eph. 1:22-23; Phil. 3:20-21; 1Thess. 4:13-18; Titus 2:11-14, Heb. 9:28)

Services

We as Theological Teaching Service (TSS) provide you the following subjects. We like to adjust to your and your Churches needs or even develop new curricula for other topics. Because of the experience we had running Bible College Yalta, we can also provide several guest teachers in addition to our career missionaries. How the information of the curricula will be conveyed depends on the time frame and the students. We´d like to adjust to your needs or be challenged to prepare a new topic.
