FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the Radio Teacher
Training Program? Is it for me?
L Yes, it is for YOU!
Who can enroll in the
Program?
Anyone who will commit to do the work can participate in the Radio Teacher
Training Program. You must have access to the internet to hear the radio
programs as assigned and to print off the worksheets each week.
How do I register for the
classes?
First, you must register for the training by the deadline set for each
course. You can register by getting the Registration Form off the internet
and attaching it to an email to:
sharon.samson@iblessonsinc.org

sure you have all the information before you call.
To register for yourself: Find the Registration Form (for
individuals) on the website at

OR
www.iblessonsinc.org . Print the form
and fill in the required information. You can scan it and email it to me
or mail it to the above address.
To register a church group:
Find the Registration form on the website for church groups. Be
sure you have a Church Coordinator who will be responsible for the
correspondence and grading the worksheets. List the names of each student
who will be part of the training. Send the completed form to International
Bible Lessons by the deadline for the specific course. You will then
receive the information you need to be the Church Coordinator.
How do I turn in my
worksheets?
Individual registrants
– Send your weekly worksheet to International Bible Lessons, 48711
VanDkye, Suite 102, Shelby Township, MI 48317 or Email them to
sharon.samson@iblessonsinc.org.
Please send them each week.
Church Groups
– Each class member will turn in the appropriate worksheet each week to
the Church Coordinator who will grade the papers and keep the records.
Every 4 weeks the Coordinator will send the completed and graded
worksheets to International Bible Lessons at the above address to receive
credit for the work. An ‘Answer Sheet’ will be send to the Church
Coordinator upon church registration for the specific course. Students
MUST TURN IN WORKSHEETS WEEKLY.
How will I benefit from
the Courses?
You will receive some quality training on a variety of topics (12-13
topics per course). You will be able to participate in an easy-to-do
program – just listening to a 15 minute program on our website each week.
Doing the corresponding worksheet each week will greatly enhance your
learning. You will receive a “Certificate of Accomplishment” from IBL at
successful completion of each course. Your church will also benefit by
having better trained teachers and workers. I think you will get excited
about teaching as you learn each week.
Why is IBL providing this
program?
We have sensed a need for an easy program of teacher/worker training where
workers in the church can get some quality instruction on a variety of
ministry and teaching subjects in a user-friendly manner. This training
seems to be a missing ingredient in many areas and we at IBL would like to
help you to become better and more qualified teachers and church servants.
We are doing it as a service to you – so why not take advantage of this
unique opportunity.
What if I am not really
good on the computer?
Well, you are not alone. We
are allowing you some options so everyone should be able to participate in
the courses. If you are computer savvy, you can do all your work on the
computer. If you are not so clever on the computer, you can print off the
worksheets and mail them to us. If you do not have access to the internet
on your computer, you will need to find someone who does and who will be
willing to let you listen to a 15 minute program for that week and print
off the worksheet for you. (Then follow the above instructions.)
Can a group work together
to get the training?
Yes, that would be good, particularly if a church group is registered for
the class. Individuals could form their own group also.. The small group
would listen to the program together – then do the worksheets individually
and turn them in for grading. (You might want to listen to the program
again after you have done the worksheet and adjust your answers.)
To be most effective this group should meet every week of the
course and do one lesson at a time.
Is there a charge for the
training?
No, IBL will not charge for these courses. They are offered as a service
to you. Of course, we would always accept your donations to the ministry
of IBL – especially if we have to mail things back to you.
We are a non-profit ministry organization funded by donations.
What do I get when I
register?
You will receive all the information you need to successfully complete the
course you register for. You will
receive the schedule of Programs and when to listen to them – one program
per week. On your schedule you will see the week number of the course, the
dates for listening and worksheet completion, the specific program to
listen to each week, and the title of that program.
The completed worksheet is due the same week as the program is
scheduled. At the end of each course, you will see the DEADLINE FOR ALL
PAPERS TO BE TURNED IN. You
must follow this schedule accurately to successfully complete the course.
Our website address is:
www.bible4children.org
and you will find the programs
by clicking on the ‘Radio’ button on the home page Navigation bar.
Find the Program # you need for the week and you will be able to
listen to that program. You can listen to it as many times as you want to.
On the same page you will find the Worksheets for each program. You will
also receive information on who to turn your worksheets in to each week.
What credentials do you
have to teach these courses?
I have been involved in full time ministry to the local church and in
missions in the area of Christian Education since graduation from Bible
College. I have developed and taught the Christian Education courses at
The Evangelical Theological College in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I have a
Diploma in Bible and Christian Education, a Master’s Degree in Educational
Ministries, and a PhD in international education. I have a life time of
ministry and teaching ministry which I am glad to share with you.

for each course? (tentatively 3 courses available)
1.
Listen to the assigned Program on our website each week. Listen at least
once before and one after doing the required worksheet.
2.
Print off the worksheet. Fill in the answers after listening to the
program. (Be sure the Radio Program Number and the Worksheet Number are
the same.) In most cases the choice of answers are given on the worksheet,
so they are not too difficult to complete.

me the same week you are scheduled for that program topic. Note that the
