Bible Correspondence Courses (BCC) are a critical program offered by many LHM ministry centers around the world. The courses introduce the Gospel to people who do not know Jesus, and reinforce a biblical understanding for people who are growing in their faith. Ministry staff present BCC content according to the needs and characteristics of their local cultures and typically offer multiple courses under a variety of titles. Over the past year, nearly 57,000 people worldwide registered for a BCC and more than 40,000 individuals completed their first course.

BCCs are LHM—Ethiopia‘s most popular program. When someone responds following an outreach activity like film screenings, rural rallies, and musical performances, LHM—Ethiopia invites the respondent to begin a BCC as the next step in his or her spiritual journey. Courses are offered in the Amharic, Oromiffa, and Hadiya languages. To date, around 200,000 Ethiopians have enrolled in LHM’s BCCs.

Several students recently shared how God uses these courses to have a profound impact on their lives.
