ITS Students

"These People are a very small sampling from more than  2000 students who have earned degrees from ITS without having ever to leave home! Hear Their Stories and Learn How They Did It... Straight From The Student's Mouth!"



    My name is Chris Eckert and I am Senior pastor of a United Methodist Church in
    Alabama.  I earned the Doctorate of Theology from ITS. I found more Christian
    Education at ITS than I found at my other Universities.  I have also recommended
    some friends to ITS.  They found the same caring that I did.  ITS is very student
    friendly and always earnestly cooperating with its students.



 
     I graduated from ITS in 1986.  I had the great fortune to enter into a Youth Pastorate
      with an Assembly of God Church.  Later, in 2000, I was chosen to establish a
      new Assembly of God Church in Bradenton, Florida.  Today, my church is the
      largest A/G church in town and I am the happiest preacher around.
      God bless you ITS and many thanks!      Brian Royer.
 

                         
    My name is Eric and I am a Youth Pastor in South Carolina.  I am so thankful that I 
    discovered ITS on the Internet.  I graduated in 2002, along with the Baptist Church in
    which I work and ITS steadily encouraging me.  I was able to graduate with an enormous
    amount of Biblical Education.  I have recommended several friends to ITS.  They have
    received the same encouragement and help.


 

    I enrolled in ITS after my husband Rob had become a student and I saw what ITS was
   doing for him.  As we work together in ministry, I earned a Masters degree in
   Counseling.  Now I am an Ordained minister with ITSMA.  God has blessed us these 5
   years or so, and now my husband and I are working on our doctorate degrees.  We
   appreciate ITS and all it does to further the Kingdom of God around the world.

   I heard about ITS on the radio announce its program in Counseling while I was driving
   across Florida.  The Lord spoke to me and told me this is where I should enroll to enter
   the counseling ministry into which He was calling me.  When I got home I called and
   enrolled over the phone.  That was 14 years ago.  Today I have earned my Masters and 
   Ph.D in Counseling.  I have been involved in the Counseling ministry for nearly all of
   these years and have been very successful.  I love you ITS! - Cindy Allen

 

                         
    I became a student of ITS to learn about the Bible and all the Bible is about.  I am
    doing just that!  It is amazing that I went so long assuming that I knew so much.
    Now I am well on my way to becoming knowledgeable in the Word.  I know what
    is going on when I hear others preach and teach.  I recognize Bible names, places
     and passages when I hear them.  I also am able to understand more clearly
     what I read.  ITS is awesome.  - Chris.

                                I live right here in Bradenton and am one of nearly 35 fellow Bradenton ministers
    that are part of ITS.  I pastor a local church.  I am thrilled with what I have been able
    to accomplish through ITS.  After transferring to ITS I have earned a Bachelors and 
    Masters degree.  My church is blessed because of what I have learned.  My wife
    also became a student at ITS and finished her Bachelor degree as well.  My entire
    family has been blessed by ITS.  You will be blessed too!  Enroll today.

     I am president and founder of Community Empowerment Outreach in Baltimore
     Maryland. God has blessed me with wonderful success.  I have been delivered
     from tragedy to triumph and opportunity.  I have been able to graduate from 2
     major universities but I am just as excited about my Doctorate degree from
     International Theological Seminary.  In this Institution I was able to build my
     confidence and increase my skill in the Word of God.  ITS has been first in
     many things and it is first in my education. - Lillie Coley

   My name is Gehu Pierre and I pastor a Haitian church in West Palm Beach,
   Florida.  I graduated from ITS and became Ordained in ITSMA.  Since then,
   in the past three years, my church has spread all over.  It is growing with
   a burst of anointing.  Later, my wife became a student also in ITS.  She already
   has a Masters degree in a secular field but wanted to know more Bible.
   She too, is happy with ITS.

 

 
                        
                         
      I am Helen Wise.  I have taught public school in the Bradenton, Florida
      public schools for more than 20 years. I have had a desire for many years to receive
      training in Christian Counseling. I found that training at International Theological
      Seminary.  Now I am counseling adults by group seminars and one-on-one. At my
      recent ITS graduation more  than 40 of my family and friends came to watch me receive
      my Ph.D. in Christian Counseling.  What a night it was!  It was glorious and meant
      more to me that any other graduation that I have had.  Thank you dear ITS!


                                     I graduated from ITS with a Bachelor degree by distance learning. 
     In this picture you see my Chaplain presenting me with my hard earned 
     degree.  What is unusual about this is that I am in prison in New Mexico.
     ITS provided me with the opportunity and courses to graduate, and
     my prison family helped me to graduate. I am now a Licensed preacher
     of the Gospel of Christ with ITSMA. As soon as I am released from
     prison I am going back to China to take this gospel of Christ to my 
     homeland.  In the meantime I have re-enrolled in an ITS Master's degree
     program.  ITS was, and is wonderful.  They were always helpful and
                                    went out of their way to make sure I was taken care of.  Thanks ITS! - Robert
Note:  Robert was released from prison 12/2007.  He has returned to China to preach the gospel.  This is a major story and will receive more future publicity.
