General Mission Statement
The mission of the Regional Bible Institute is to help in gathering up the harvest as we prepare for the imminent return of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. This is done by reaching into Mexico and targeting underprivileged young people who have a desire to prepare themselves for the work of the Lord but who lack the resources to accomplish that. The program of our Bible Institute is two-fold: we offer a Christian Grade School program for Middle and High School levels of education, and a college-level missionary training program for those who are ready to go into a lifelong career in missions.

Accomplishments in the past
The Regional Bible Institute was started in January of 1998 as a program for training underprivileged young people from Mexico and sending them back to their homeland equipped to become missionaries, pastors, evangelists, and other forms of church workers. The original intention was to offer only Bible courses but after discovering that the students generally lacked basic academic educational skills, steps were taken to provide remedial courses aimed at preparing them to pass the Mexican equivalent of the GED examination. As our academic program continued to develop, students were subsequently able to obtain their Primary, Middle and High School diplomas as well as a well grounded knowledge of the Word of God.
In 2001, our Institute received approval by the Immigration and Naturalization Service to enroll non-immigrant foreign students. Hence participants who previously came to our institute on a temporary permit, were now able to receive four-year Student Visas to come and study.
In 2003, our Institute was accredited by the International Council on Academic Accreditation, Inc.
In 2004, our Grade School was accredited by the Association of Christian Teachers and Schools.
We are pleased to inform that blessings received in the past have been numerous. Truly we can say that the Lord=s hand has been mighty to save, deliver and to provide.
