Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.
Matthew 16:12
What is our goal at CBI Peru?
In the New Testament, Jesus told His followers to go into all the world and make disciples. A disciple is someone who is a learner and a follower. A person who desires to be exactly like His master. A person who is being transformed into the image of Christ.
Our mission at CBI Peru is to raise up the next generation to be biblical disciples of Jesus Christ. Everything we do falls under that mandate. The questions we continually ask are: Is this helping our students be transformed into the image of Christ? Are they becoming surrendered disciples of our Lord and Savior? We believe our mission is part of the Great Commission, and it serves as our guiding principle for the school
And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
2 Timothy 2:2
Our aim to make disciples involves following God’s guidance in the Bible and mentoring committed individuals to become future leaders. Like Jesus’ personal approach with his disciples, our staff and pastors will engage in teaching, prayer, and personal connection with students, fostering intimate classes that focus on studying God’s Word and sharing valuable experiences. We aspire to create a discipleship base rather than just a lecture environment.
