Many years ago I founded this fledgling home study bible college in order to meet the needs of not only our beloved ministers; but, to also provide affordable and far reaching Bible study opportunities for men and women of faith all over the world who want to study the Bible in such a way as to give them solid, far reaching and practical knowledge so that they can better serve the Body of Christ. Now after many years of hard work and much prayer the Spirit Filled Lights Of The Kings Cross Victory Bible College now beam brightly around the globe as we enroll students from nearly everywhere! This wonderful Christ centered Bible college was a great vision of our founder but that vision was never fully realized during his more than seventy years of ministry. When I began the new work of this church I began to pray about a spirit led Bible College and God began to answer my every prayer concerning not only our founders prayers and vision for a Bible college but the new vision God had placed upon my heart as well. Now that vision and dream is at last a reality and I thank God for answering my every prayer and for the leading of the Holy Spirit who has anointed our studies in such a powerful, loving and mighty way. I thank God also for sending unto me a number of wonderful men and women with great and far reaching backgrounds not only in academic studies; but, hands on street level ministry experiences who assisted us in the development of all of the courses for the Victory Bible College.
We believe that any and all work of the cross should in fact be missionary and evangelistic in it's approach and outreach since the great commission of Christ is for his followers to go into all the world and spread HIS Gospel and without a complete understanding and study of evangelism no work for the cause of Christ can truly be successful. One has only to look at the decrease in the attendance of many churches in all denominations to clearly see that few now Pastoring in the body of Christ fully understand how to evangelize their communities and build a large following of steadfast and faithful followers of Christ and if one looks at most bible college studies it's easy to see why this is true.
Unlike the hum drum of over extended time wasting and often tiresome bible studies offered by other bible colleges or seminaries we at Victory give our students a fast track to enjoyable studies that can be completed rapidly and because the Holy Spirit leads our students in study they will always remain some of the best trained and knowledgeable Christian men and women in the world. Men and women who are doers of the word and not just hearers of the word. Men and women who want to study so that they can become better servants of our Lord rather than study for academic achievement.
Each course of study being offered has been formulated in such a way as to make it easy for anyone with little or no knowledge of the Bible or formal education to begin a study and advance rapidly from one course to the other. The Victory courses are well designed and spiritually formulated and are equal to or exceed in many areas of our studies the standards of nearly any educational program offered by traditional seminary or other college level studies in theology or doctrinal studies; but, with a far reaching and a far greater emphasis on workable application knowledge that can be instantly put to use in the everyday life of great men and women of God who are serving the Lord in the callings, ministry and missions that God has on their lives.
There are many expensive and time consuming places, seminaries, bible colleges and home study bible schools where one can gain with study, extended time, discipline and great expense a good bible education. Many thousands of such institutions both accredited and non accredited offer a variety of bible courses and studies that have been written by many professors who have themselves often been educated far beyond their intelligence and in many cases you will find that they themselves have never conducted a real hands on ministry for Christ. That is why many such courses are over extensive, far to tedious and often to difficult to complete because the emphasis is often on teaching rather than learning and practical application and that is why a recent survey of Bible students showed that as many as 87.9% could not complete the courses offered to them and that is why so many people drop out of Bible education courses before ever earning a degree or certificate of any kind.
The Victory Home Study Bible College however offers degrees in bible studies that are affordable, practical, spirit filled and simplified courses of study that you can truly enjoy as you complete them and then be able to put what you have studied into immediate practical application in the daily activities of your ministry thanks to our exclusive Fast Track Victory Bible Courses. As a home study student at Victory you are more than a number or just another student you are a precious brother or sister in Christ and you will always be loved with the heart and mind of Christ and be provided, as well, a loving far reaching fellowship and a lifetime association with us that you will be proud of. Remember also, that there are no entrance exams, big tuition fees, expensive book and supply fees, dorm fees, travel and food expenses and all the other often hindering obstacles that go along with so many other bible educational schools and bible colleges. At Victory we have after many years of hard work successfully developed courses that get to the meat of Bible study and leave the less important aspects of Bible study to the factors and the process of the day to day living and following Christ as a servant of Jesus and the doing of the work that God has called each of us to do as we are being led by the Holy Spirit! We don't load our students down with busy work just to build high price Bible study courses like so many of the Bible study programs found nearly everywhere today! The religious academic world and theologians who desire to teach and write bible study materials have with exhaustive busy work driven many a saint of God away from organized Bible study and that truly hurts the work of the cross.
Is Home Study A Valid Way To Earn A Bible Degree?
Many a saint of the living God has completed bible study at home and then went on to great ministries all over the world and one has only to look at the glorious history and success of the Moody Bible Institute to see that home study of the Bible is just as valid as any other educational method of obtaining knowledge in any given field of study! Abraham Lincoln for example became not only a very good country lawyer; but, became the president of the United States and led this country through the great civil war, kept the union preserved while freeing a whole people who were bound with the shackles of slavery and all this great man had in the way of education he got through study on his own! Lincoln never held a degree had any letters behind his name or even as much as a high school diploma and from the greatness of his life it is so easy to see that it is not the measure or level of education a person has that determines his or her success in a given field; but, it is the measure of the success that a person obtains through the application and practice of what they have honestly studied and applied to their callings in life!
"Success" said ; W. Clement Stone; "is achieved by those who try and keep trying!"
A bachelor of divinity for example or any other bible study degree earned by home study can be just as valid as a four year on campus study; but, can be earned quickly. But, because of the method the degree was earned it may not meet some of the standards set down by academia; but, the practical application of it can be just as meaningful and have even greater and far reaching success than the four year on campus study and the earning of the same degrees at a formal university or on campus bible college. Thanks to the computer age and the internet thousands who could never have earned a degree in many fields can now achieve it at home in far less time than expensive on campus study programs and education.
Just remember this!; It is not the letter behind your name or even how many or how few of the worlds academic hoops you had to jump through to get it!....it is what you do with it and how you apply what you have honestly studied and then applied fully to your goals in the fields of interest you may have.
Our Standards Of Study And The Bible Study Degrees We Offer At Victory!
Our goal in the development of this wonderful outreach bible college has never been to hold ourselves out as all knowing, perfect or somehow superior to more formal four year bible educational programs and the academic degrees offered by them; but, our goal has always been to keep Christ at the center of all that we do and study. That goal and our study programs and the degrees we offer may not meet with some or any of the standards set forth by some in academia; but, in the end according to God's word they don't have to.
Rather than our bible college being made up of a collection or a collage of professors of academia with lecture halls and all the expensive needs of academia, our bible college is made up of a collective group of studies that we have developed for the furtherance of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and not the furtherance of or for the standards set forth by academia which we feel in many ways often hinders the real work of the cross.We believe what is important in Bible study is that we study God's word in such a way as to prepare ourselves to further the work of the cross and the great commission of Christ and that important far reaching work has in our opinion never been done with the head knowledge gained in or the degrees earned in academic studies alone; but, rather that work is done with faith and the heart knowledge of true believers and followers of Christ Jesus our Lord and by great men and women of faith whom God has called to the work of the Kingdom that are anointed of God and are filled with the Holy Spirit! We at the Victory Bible College feel that the standards God has set forth in His word for the study of the Bible and the furtherance of the Gospel of Jesus Christ far outweighs every standard set forth by man and the academic world of educational studies. We feel as a body of believers in Christ who are at liberty and are called unto liberty by our Lord, that we have met God's standards fully and therefore we offer our bible college degrees of study on His standards and not on any of the standards of academia or of so called higher education!The Goals Of Students At Victory
The goals of any bible student should be clear for there are many goals and achievements that every bible student wants to achieve. If for example your goal is to compete in the academic world for teaching positions or professorships at a four year formal college campus setting then the BmM, MmM & DmM degree studies we offer at Victory in our ministerial education department you would along with other studies find very useful.
Depending on the goal of the bible student there may be a need by some for a more formal academic bible education at a four year on campus university if your goal is strictly academics. Our courses and the degrees we offer are not intended to compete or compare with a formal on campus educational programs. Our courses and the degrees we offer are for the furtherance of the Gospel on the mission fields of the world by our ministers and others who are or want to become fully engaged in the daily activities of the spreading of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour!
Yes! If your goal is to become a better more well equipped servant of Jesus Christ, a better pastor, a better evangelist, a better missionary, a better bible teacher and a better student of the bible and God's living word then you would find our current studies and degrees very useful in furthering the work of your ministry as a called man or woman of God!
The Kings Cross Victory Bible College
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
Concerning Degrees And Accreditation!
All Courses At Victory Are Accredited By Our
World Missionary Education And Prayer Council!
Many in the body of Christ mistakenly believe that they need the endorsement of man made accrediting organizations to begin a ministry. Today most accreditation or some form of it can be bought for a few thousand dollars by anyone with the bucks to lay down and in the end it really means absolutely nothing to the real work of the cross and the cause of Christ! In our view some of the standards set by most of the organized academic accreditation sources in the world today restricts ministry rather than enhances it and accreditation by them offer very little in the way of furthering the real work of the cross and the great commission of Christ. However, accrediting can be an important factor in some areas of ministry; that is why we like many other Independent Bible Colleges have created a far reaching educational accrediting board for the educational accrediting of every course offered by the Victory Bible College. This accreditation is equal to any offered or accredited by any other Bible education program offered by any other church, denomination or Bible Educational College in the world even though many in academia and large on campus colleges may not want to recognize that accreditation simply because it may not measure up to what their ideas of accreditation or meet some dictated standards that has been set down in the educational world of academia and then applied to bible study. The bible and the spiritual heart felt study of it does not belong to the teachings or the whims of academia or the set forth standards of man devised accreditation; but, its standards of study can only be accredited by the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer and the followers of Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour!
The Freedom to preach and minister in any way is God ordained and cannot be truly spiritually accredited by the standards of man devised accrediting organizations of any kind. If He has called you and you live in a free society who or what should hinder you in that call and your study of the scriptures? We do not limit anyone for their seeking for a furtherance of Bible study by our courses, as Bible study is a lifelong pursuit and a degree accredited or not is never the end; but, rather a beginning!
If you can agree with the foregoing it should answer any questions you may have about accreditation of your work with The Kings Cross Victory Bible College. It is you and God together who make up your ministry. Our loving and far reaching effort is to provide you with spiritual tools of study to make your God called and chosen effort more effective for his glory. This was certainly the view of Jesus, our Lord, as he spoke of it to the Scribes and Pharisees. The gift by Him of the Holy Spirit is the source of education given to build His Church. It is free to all with no restriction.We accredit your work not only with what we feel is viable evangelistic academic accreditation standards; but, with prayer and lifetime loving Christ Centered Fellowship.
At Victory our emphasis of study is always upon the Lord Jesus Christ and not on the formation of the things that many organizations have devised that hinder rather than build up the Body of Christ. We have prayerfully sought His guidance in the programs we present and in the way that He would have us present them. Our certificates and the degrees we offer are first of all God awarded before you ever receive our beautiful educational awards and well earned documents to hang on your wall and since we know that they are well earned they become expressions of our love for all of our brothers and sisters in Christ the world over who study the Victory courses, as well as, our prayerful and continuing support in all that you carry on to do in His name. Your prayerful and Holy Spirit led study needs the importance of such loving and heartfelt recognition and the loving prayerful and our heartfelt accreditation program that goes with it. The unsaved in the world to which you minister needs to know that you are a qualified representative of our Lord and Saviour, Christ Jesus. So we encourage you to earn the Victory Bible study degrees proudly as we proudly grant them for His Honor and Glory and for the evangelistic work of the cross which is the great commission of Christ that he has given his followers to go into all the world and preach HIS Gospel!"

He Recently Completed His Studies At Victory!
"I would like to thank, from the bottom of my heart, Dr Davy for making the wonderful degree courses available to me.I am sincerely grateful to all of you at FCGM and at the Victory Bible College for the courses and the
precious certificates I have received upon the completion of those very inspiring studies. I am particularly
proud --- in the good sense of the term --- of the valuable Doctor's degree. Frankly speaking, I would
never have thought I would, one day, hold a doctorate because of the high costs involved.
But it is true that our Lord really works wonders in our lives and blesses us
well beyond our wildest expectations. Praise to His Name!
What is impossible with men is possible with
God!" (Luke 18:27).
~Dr. Jean Augustin
"We ordained this precious man of God and then Dr. Jean completed all of his studies with
our Bible College as he studied at home and earned three degrees including his Doctor
Of Missionary Ministries! He is now helping to lead all of the people on his Island
Homeland And Nation to the Cross of Christ. Dr. Jean is a wonderful Bible
teacher and a beloved and trusted minister of the Gospel in this
wonderful outreach missions Church. We are looking
Forward to having Dr. Jean on some

programs!"
"We Love You Dr. Jean!"

New Theology Courses Now In Long Term Development!
It has always been our goal at Victory to at some point in time to perhaps offer higher educational degrees in theology that are truly 100% Christ centered and God led to us several years ago a well studied man with some of the best educational degrees from some of the most renowned bible colleges in the world who began a great work in writing a set of courses in Christian theology for us.
The expanded study courses in theology that are now in long term final development by Dr. Davy and many others working on the expanded courses in that home study department where we will be offering a B.D. (Bachelor of Divinity) Th.M ( Master Of Theology) and a PhD. ( Doctor Of Philosophy in Theology) possibly in the fall of 2012 and are they designed to meet God's standards first and not academic standards met by most college level study departments at other bible colleges, but our studies would indeed serve you well in most any professional Bible teaching setting.
Our Courses Are Accredited By The World
Missionary Educational and
Prayer Council!These important degrees like all studies at victory are accredited by the World Missionary Educational and Prayer Council which we formed independently of any outside organization and that accreditation is just as valid as any other accrediting organization in the world. In fact our developing PhD.( Doctor Of Philosophy in Theology) in many areas exceeds the standards of the degrees offered and accredited elsewhere, as they will equip the student for the preaching and the teaching of the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus and the standards that must be met according to the scriptures and the living word of God! Yes! Our courses in theology will help most any servant of the Lord in any area of ministry they may aspire to for the furtherance of the Gospel! We will accept and give credit for previous work in the study of theology regardless of where or what bible school or colleges the work was completed and most Christian educators and colleges will also give credit for work completed by any student at Victory and we will provide a transcript of credits earned at Victory just like any other bible college! We as a Bible college, church and a far reaching ministry have not sought the academic approval of any state or governmental agency in developing our Bible study programs , nor will we, what we have done is to allow God, The Holy Spirit and Jesus to guide us every step of the way and the results have been a blessing to so many all over the world who now study our others courses with us!
