Biblical training should produce more than students who have completed lessons. It should produce men increasingly capable of teaching others.
One pastor has now taught through Courses 1–4 and nearly the entire New Testament epistle curriculum, with only Romans, 1–2 Timothy, Titus, and Revelation remaining. Another has completed Courses 1–4 along with 1–2 Corinthians, Galatians, and Ephesians. Two additional pastors in training have already taught Courses 1–2 and are now working through Course 3.
This is not merely information transferred from missionary to student. The goal is truth entrusted to faithful men who become able to teach others also (2 Tim. 2:2).
A healthy ministry should not remain dependent upon the missionary to do all the teaching. Maturity should increasingly reproduce itself.
If years of preaching produce listeners but not mature believers who can teach others also, are we actually making disciples, or just filling seats?
