Dear student,
On behalf of myself and the Fuzion Bible Institute family, I want to extend a warm welcome to
you.

a reference on a continual basis as it will prove to be a great source of help.
Our commitment to you does not end with this publication as our competent staff is on hand to
address any issues you may have and should you require any form of support, be it technical or

Once again, welcome to the Fuzion family, knowing that you have chosen an institute which
strives towards excellence both in character and Christian education.
Dei Verbum Comitante!!!

The name Fuzion is spelled with a “Z” rather than an “S” as it means “weapon” in the Hebrew
alphabet. The Word of God is our weapon which we are to become Master Swordsmen of.
(Hebrews 4:12 NKJV “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a
discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”)
Institute Motto: Dei Verbum Comitante (Latin) meaning "The Word of God my Companion".
Institute Scripture: Psalm 111:10 NKJV “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A
good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever.”
In 2005, Empact School of Ministry was established with the purpose of training and educating
the laity of the local church. Over several years the need arose for quality Christian Education
that would enable members of the local church to earn accredited Christian-centered degrees.
With this in mind, and the new direction of the ministry, it was unanimously decided to change
the name of Empact School of Ministry to Fuzion Bible Institute. FUZION is accredited through
World-Wide Accreditation Commission of Christian Educational Institutions (WWAC),
headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, USA, under the directorship of Dr. Paul Richardson. The
institute is, therefore, authorized to award accredited Theological degrees to students who have
successfully completed the required courses of study for the relevant degree.
Fuzion Bible Institute offers two types of Biblical Education, namely Online Studies and the
backbone of the ministry, the Extension Campus Program (ECP). The ECP places a Fuzion Bible
Institute within local ministries whether they are a church, home group, prison ministry or
educational organization. This is the main focus of Fuzion which is expounded upon in the
"Vision" section of this manual.
Fuzion Bible Institute is registered with the Commission for Independent Education of the
Florida Department of Education as a Religious Institution.
Fuzion Bible Institute: The word "institute" rather than "training center" or "school" was
selected because the noun form of the word not only means "training center", but also means "a
union" or "association." This reflects the networking aspect of Fuzion Bible Institute, the
sponsoring organization of the Institute. The vision is to work with existing evangelical
organizations in the training of believers.
The word "institute" in its verb form means "to bring into being, develop, create, initiate,
conceive, and give birth to." The Institute is birthing a vision designed to move believers from
vision to reality, from observation to demonstration of the power of God.
Fuzion Bible Institute is not a seminary for those who desire study of theological issues or
training in Biblical languages, archaeology, history, etc. Fuzion Bible Institute is not in
competition with the traditional Bible college structure. For those who are educationally and
financially qualified, have access to a school, and whose circumstances permit, we encourage a
5|Page
traditional resident Bible college education. Our training is for those who do not have
opportunities for such training.
Fuzion Bible Institute, the sponsoring organization of the Institute, is not a denomination, nor
does it desire to create a denominational structure. We are a network working between
denominations, churches, organizations, and nations to raise up laborers for the harvest fields of
the world.
The Institute is not a self-improvement program. God is not teaching self-improvement but is
taking dead men and women and making them spiritually alive. That is radically different from
self-help.
Fuzion Bible Institute is a lay training program designed to reach every level of the Body of
Christ. This Bible based training can be used for individual study and for small group Bible
study in homes, organizations, schools, prisons, and churches on a local, national, or
international basis.
Fuzion Bible Institute was conceived by the Holy Spirit and in answer to a cry from the harvest
fields of the world for materials geared to train the average layman.
The Institute has two avenues of learning:
First - There is the in-house Bible College where a Church, ministry, home-group or even prison
ministry operates an extension campus at their location, which is more formal in nature.
Secondly - Is the mobile format. Through the Internet, the courses can be taken anywhere in the
world. This allows believers to be trained without leaving their present environment. Students
study within the context of their own culture, allowing their daily activities to remain stable
while becoming a laboratory for application of what they are learning. The Institute uses the
distance factor as a positive element in developing learning independence. The goal of education
is not to make students dependent upon teachers, but independent of them.
The Institute does not spend millions of dollars on brick and mortar to build evangelical training
centers. The training can be offered in existing facilities, whether a home, church building, or
school. Jesus did not construct buildings, yet He took men from vision to reality. It is the
content, not the physical facility that establishes a training institute as an effective spiritual force
for God.
A great leader in the United States, Benjamin Franklin, once said, "Give me 26 lead soldiers and
I will conquer the world." He was referring to the printer's lead type of the 26 letters of the
English alphabet. He recognized the impact of the printed page. The distribution and translation
record of the written Word of God, the Bible, demonstrates the effectiveness of this form of
communication.
In its printed or computer disk format, Fuzion Bible Institute can be taken into nations without
customs problems or expensive shipping costs. It can be downloaded from the Internet free of
charge anywhere throughout the world. The curriculum is then reproduced in the individual
countries, keeping costs at a minimum which can be paid by the average believers.
6|Page
The Institute is not a traditional correspondence course. Such schools are effective only where
there is a good postal system. Since the Institute targets unreached people in remote locations,
the correspondence course method is not effective because of limited postal service to such
areas.
The Institute is a decentralized training program. This means that the “micromanagement” style
of control is not exercised by Institute headquarters. We provide curriculum and guidelines for
reproduction, translation, and organizing training schools. The Institute also promotes a culture
of accountability whereby we act as a spiritual covering to the extension Institutes without
infringing upon the Apostolic covering of the hosting ministry. Decentralization enables rapid
growth and provides the flexibility necessary for a cross-cultural program of this nature.
Curriculum emphasis: The curriculum of Fuzion Bible Institute emphasizes two major areas:
First: What Jesus taught by word and demonstration to raise-up trained, motivated, lay
leadership. Training focuses on what He taught to transform simple men into reproductive
Christians who reached their world with the Gospel message in a demonstration of power.
Often great emphasis is placed on the teaching methods of Jesus with little attention to the
content. But what did He actually teach that turned men from fishermen and tax collectors to
international harvesters?
Second: The curriculum emphasizes what was demonstrated and taught during the times of the
Acts and Epistles as His plan was instituted in the early Church.
This emphasis in no way discredits the value and inspiration of the remainder of Scriptures.
Jesus often referred to the Old Testament in His teaching. He based His life and ministry on the
total revelation of God's Word. The Institute equips students with creative Bible study skills to
enable continued study of all the Scriptures following basic course training. But the primary
focus of the Institute training is teaching what Jesus taught to move men from vision to reality
and the strategies revealed as His plan was initiated in the Church.
The curriculum emphasizes demonstration, training believers to be participators rather than
spectators. Intellectual knowledge of God is not enough:
But be ye doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own
selves. (James 1:22)
True knowledge is gained only by experience. Study results in gaining information, but not
experience. Teaching is factual while training is experiential. Jesus is a living person, not
merely a fact. Relationship to Him is based on experience, not just knowledge, facts, and
information. The aim of the training is not accumulated knowledge, but action which converts
the possibilities of ministry into reality. It is not just articulation [talking about the power of
God], but demonstration [putting it into action]:
7|Page
And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's
wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power; that your faith
should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
(I Corinthians 2:4-5)
We stress training rather than teaching. Although teaching is part of training, teaching leaves the
learner the option to accept what is taught or reject it. We desire that students...
...mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou has been
instructed. (Luke 1:4)
The curriculum takes students beyond teaching to training where participation is required. The
participation to which students are challenged is that of spiritual reproduction.
Christ's first appeal to His disciples was centered on reproduction:
And He saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
(Matthew 4:19)
His final command was to reproduce spiritually:
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost;
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you...
(Matthew 28:19-20)
Progression: For complete intensified training to move believers from vision to reality, use the
courses in the order explained in the "Curriculum" file. Each module and course is independent
of all others, however, permitting a course to be used separately if so desired. For example, a
pastor can use "Foundations of Faith" in a class for new converts without ordering other courses
offered by the Institute.
Institute staff: Although the curriculum is designed to enable a local pastor or Christian leader
to conduct the training sessions, the headquarters of Fuzion Bible Institute provides guest
teachers upon request according to the availability of the ministerial staff. Many of the teachers,
writers, editors, and others involved with FUZION do not receive salaries. As a networking
ministry, many are involved in ministries of their own and contribute their time and abilities.
Because of this, we request that should you make use of our team, that travel, modest lodging
and food costs are paid by your ministry. For further information, please contact the International
headquarters.
Curriculum Contributors: Associates of Fuzion Bible Institute involved in curriculum
preparation for the Institute represent a variety of leadership in evangelical circles. Some hold
graduate degrees from recognized institutions. We have not limited contributors to graduates of
8|Page
theological schools or Bible colleges. Some contributors are actually out on the front lines and
vitally involved in lay training programs around the world. Their inclusion as contributors helps
avoid purely theoretical training and focuses attention on the practical aspects as well. They
bring to the program an international viewpoint from the front lines of Christian service. All
contributors are qualified, born-again, Spirit-filled, fundamental Christians who believe in the
divine inspiration of God's Word. Their common bond is a vital concern for the training. This
has united them together in a new network of evangelism for the purpose of raising-up laborers
for the harvest fields of the world.
International: The word international means "between or among nations." Our vision is global
in nature, with special emphasis on people groups yet unreached with the Gospel message.
Network: A network is the joining together of many segments to make a whole. Simply stated,
it consists of people communicating with each other, sharing ideas, information and resources to
achieve a common goal. (For FUZION, that goal is reaching the world with the Gospel of the
Kingdom.) This can be compared to a knotted fishnet which creates a multitude of cells of
varying sizes, each linked to the others directly or indirectly. The New Testament definition of
the Church is an example of networking. The Church is pictured as a united body with many
parts; believers functioning together, in their gifting, in ministry and mission (I Corinthians 12:431). The controlling power of the network is the authority of God's Word and the headship of the
Lord Jesus Christ. We desire to work between denominations, organizations, and nations
forming a new network of evangelism.

Statement of Purpose
Fuzion Bible Institute is a non-denominational Institute established with the purpose of training
and equipping End-time Laborers for the Great Harvest. This is done by offering quality
Christian education to perspective students at an international level.
Our purpose: Training Tomorrow’s Leaders, Today.
Our mission: Win the World for Christ.
Vision
Fuzion Bible Institute exists to further the cause of Christ upon this earth. In 1998 Colin Blom
received a prophetic word while studying at Christ For the Nations Institute. It revealed that he
would be linked to an international training center which would be multi-ethnic, multi-national
and multi-cultural. In 2005 he established, alongside his Assistant Pastors, Empact School of
Ministry, at the Church he was pastoring at that time. Several years later, through a meeting with
a Pastor in South Africa, the Lord birthed the vision to establish an accredited Bible College
which would offer low-cost quality Christian education to local Churches across the globe.
The Vision:





To offer low-cost Christian education to Developed and Emerging Market countries. The
finances raised from these Bible Institutes will be used to establish additional Bible
Institutes and Ministries in Third World countries at no cost to the locals. This means that
each paying student will be directly involved in world missions, as a portion of their
tuition will be used to establish such Ministries and Institutes.
For students upon graduation to be able to continue their involvement with the Third
World ministries by working in those countries.
To provide a limited number of scholarships each year for those who have a desire to
study the Word of God, yet, do not have the financial means to do so. Contact the
Institute to see if you qualify.
For FUZION to establish Bible Institutes on an International level, considering
Ministries, Home-Groups, Outreach Teams and Christian educational ministries as the
Local Church.
To be a catalyst in networking ministries together globally.

11 | P a g e
Fuzion Bible Institute has been formed as a Christian educational ministry under the Lordship
of Jesus Christ. Our supreme desire is to know Christ and be conformed to His image by the
power of the Holy Spirit. We are a non-denominational, Spirit-filled ministry, yet we are not
opposed to denominations as such, only to the over-emphasis of the doctrinal differences that
have led to the division of the Body of Christ.
The Holy Scripture - We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, infallible, irrevocable and complete
Word of God and is therefore our supreme and final authority in all matters that it addresses. (2 Tim. 3:16,
17)
The Eternal Godhead - We believe that God is Triune, existing eternally and simultaneously as three
distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. All three persons in the Godhead share equally and
completely the one divine nature, and are therefore the same God, coequal in power, nature and glory. (1
John 5:7)
Jesus Christ - We believe that Jesus Christ, the second person of the Trinity, is God the Son who has
neither beginning nor ending. He was conceived in the flesh by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
and is fully God and fully man. Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and arose bodily on the third day. He
ascended into heaven and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father as our only mediator, high
priest, and advocate. He will return in glory to resurrect and judge all mankind. (Matthew 1:23-25/John
1:1/14:3/Acts 4:12/1 Corinthians 15:3-4 & 20/Philippians 2:5-11/ 1 Timothy 2:5-6/Hebrews 4:14-16/1
Peter 2:22.)
Holy Spirit - We believe that the Holy Spirit is God, the third person of the Trinity who is coequal with
the Father and Son. The Holy Spirit's ministries include: Convicting all people of sin; calling, bringing
regenerating, indwelling, and baptizing believers into the Body of Christ; setting them apart to a holy life;
and teaching, keeping, and empowering them day by day for godly living and spiritual service. The Holy
Spirit distributes spiritual gifts to each believer according to His will. God in His sovereignty still works
in miraculous ways. (John 3:5-8/Acts 1:8/5:3-4/16:7-14/1 Corinthians 2:9-12/3:16/12:3-13 & 2831/13:8-11/Galatians 5:16-25/Ephesians 1:13-14/5:18/Hebrews 2:3-4)
The Fall of Man - We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God to fellowship with
Him and give Him glory. Adam and Eve through voluntary disobedience chose to rebel against God and
as a result all of mankind became separated from God. The only remedy for this is redemption through
faith in Jesus Christ. (Rom. 5:12)
Basis of Salvation - We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, signing the pardon of
all who believe on Him and confess Jesus Christ as their Lord. We believe that Jesus Christ is the only
way to salvation and that there is absolutely no other way to be reconciled back to God the Father. (John
3:16; Rom. 5:8, Rom. 10:9-10; Acts 4:12)
12 | P a g e
Salvation through Grace - We believe that before salvation we have no righteousness of our own and
must come to God through the righteousness of Christ. (Eph. 2:8)
Repentance and Acceptance - We believe that upon sincere repentance and a wholehearted acceptance
of Christ as Lord, we are justified before God.(1 John 1:9)
The New Birth - We believe that the change which takes place in the heart and life at conversion is a
literal one and is the result of being born of the Spirit of God.(2 Cor. 5:17; Gal. 2:20; John 3:5-7)
Daily Christian Life - We believe that it is the will of God that we live a sanctified and holy life,
growing constantly in the Faith.(Heb. 6:1)
Water Baptism - We believe that baptism by immersion in water is an outward sign of the inward work
of salvation.(Matt. 28:19)
The Lord’s Supper - We believe in the commemoration of the Lord’s Supper by the symbolical use of
the bread and the juice of the vine.(1 Cor. 11:28)
Baptism of the Holy Spirit - We believe that the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is to endow the believer with
power, and that His empowering is after the same manner as in Bible days. (Acts 1:8; 2:4)
The Spirit-Filled Life - We believe that it is the will of God that we walk in the Spirit continually. (Rom.
8:1-2; 14-16)
The Gifts and the Fruit of the Spirit - We believe that the Holy Spirit has gifts to bestow upon the
Christian and that we should show spiritual fruit as evidence of a Spirit-filled life. (1 Cor. 12:1-11; Gal.
5:22-23; Rom. 12:6-8; Eph. 4:11-13)
Divine Healing - We believe that divine healing is the provision of Christ to heal the sick in response to
the exercise of faith, the prayer of faith, the prayer of agreement, anointing with oil, the gifts of healing or
the laying on of hands. We believe that this provision of Christ is for everyone today.
(1 Peter 2:24; Matt. 8:17; 18:18-19; James 5:14-16; 1 Cor. 2:9; Mark 16:15-18; Matt. 24:35; Mark
13:31; Luke 21:33)
The Second Coming - We believe that the Second Coming of Christ is literal and inevitable. (1Thes.
4:16-17)
Church Fellowship - We believe it is our sacred duty to identify and actively participate with the local
and visible church of Christ. (Acts 16:5; Heb. 10:25)
Civil Government - We believe that the laws of the land should be upheld at all times except in matters
opposed to the Word of God. (Rom. 13:1-5)
The Final Judgment - We believe that all shall stand one day before God in final judgment, and there
receive eternal reward or eternal judgment. (2 Cor. 5:10; Rev. 20:11-13)
13 | P a g e
Heaven - We believe that heaven is a literal place, eternally existent. (John 14:2; Rev. 7:15-17)
Hell - We believe that hell is a literal place of eternal torment for all who reject the Lord Jesus Christ.
(Rev. 20:10,15)
Evangelism - We believe that evangelism is the Great Commission given to the Church and as the church
every believer is spiritually obligated in fulfilling this commission. (James 5:20; Mark 16:15; 2 Cor.
5:18-21)
Tithes and Offerings - We believe that the method ordained of God for the support and spread of His
cause is by the giving of tithes and freewill offerings.(Mal. 3:10; 2 Cor. 9:7; Heb. 7:8)
Worship -We believe that “acceptable” and “true” worship is prescribed by God Himself in His
Word. This embodies individual and corporate expressions of praise and thanksgiving and
reverence in holiness. We believe worship of God should be spiritual. Therefore, we remain
flexible and yielded to the leading of the Holy Spirit to direct our worship. (John 4:24; Psalm
150)
Church Government - We believe in church government to ensure order, and we believe in loyalty to
those acting in rightful authority as they lead us in the Lord. (1Peter 5:1-5; Rom. 13)
Unity, Understanding and Love - We believe that in essentials there must be unity, in nonessentials -understanding, and in all things - love. We believe the only true basis of Christian fellowship is Christ's
Agape love, which is greater than any differences we possess and without which we have no right to
claim ourselves Christians.

Fuzion Bible Institute is accredited by the Worldwide Accreditation Commission of Christian
Educational Institutions (WWAC), overseen by Dr. Paul Richardson. The following statement
has been approved: “We Fuzion Bible Institute is fully accredited by the Worldwide
Accreditation Commission of Christian Educational Institutions (WWAC). Anyone wishing to
contact them for verification may write to:

In the United States, accreditation of Universities and Seminaries is a voluntary process with
accreditation granted by private, non-governmental agencies. Governmental agencies never
provide theological or ministry accreditation. Additionally, there is no absolute 'national'
standard for educational accreditation since the educational world is currently re-examining
criteria for accreditation, focusing less on institutional inputs and more on educational outcomes.
There is no such requirement as Federal or State accreditation of a religious institution, because
the civil government has no authority to regulate religious teachings or which certificates or
religious degrees upon completion of such education may be issued. This is a matter of
separation of Church and State. Politicians and civil authorities must never be allowed to
officially endorse or disapprove directly or indirectly the beliefs and practices of Churches or
their schools.
Please keep in mind that most Bible Colleges and Christian Universities do not have secular
regional accreditation.
STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
State Authorization
In the United States of America, jurisdiction over degree-granting institutions rests with the
individual state governments. Compliance with state regulations is the necessary condition for
offering a legitimate, legal American degree. Fuzion Bible Institute grants degrees under the
authority of the Florida State Board of Independent Colleges and Universities in compliance with
Section 1005.06(1)(f), Florida Statutes. The state of Florida does not require regional or
theological accreditation. Please Note: Fuzion Bible Institute as well as other Christian colleges
are NOT required to be regulated by the Florida Department of Education (FLDOE);
therefore, Fuzion Bible Institute is not listed with the FLDOE as a 'regulated' institution.
Fuzion Bible Institute has received approval (authorization) as of 2010 from the FLDOE
that Fuzion Bible Institute is in compliance with the statutes of the Florida State Board of
Independent Colleges and Universities to offer legitimate, legal American degrees.
15 | P a g e
Fuzion Bible Institute (FBI) does not have a regional secular accreditation. If you desire to
pursue a degree for secular employment, a degree with Fuzion Bible Institute may not be the
right choice for you. FBI does not guarantee a job or ordination in any specific market or
ministry. Although WWAC accredits our degrees, FBI is not listed at this time with a U.S.
Department of Education-approved accreditation agency. A Fuzion degree is NOT specifically
suited for people pursuing secular jobs such as public school teachers, state university
professors, and state-licensed counselors or psychologists, among other vocations requiring
state licensure.
Generally, people working in ministry positions do not need a government-accredited degree. In
fact, a number of churches take a stand against the Church voluntarily placing itself under
government regulations.
Tax Exempt Non-Profit Status
Fuzion Bible Institute is a non-profit corporation located in the state of Florida, USA. It is
recognized as a tax exempt organization under Section 501(c)3 of the US Internal Revenue
Code.
What separates Fuzion Bible Institute from the "diploma mills" springing up on the
Internet?
There are several standards that set Fuzion Bible Institute, and any legitimate institution, apart
from the diploma mills:
Curriculum Standards: A legitimate institution sets real, definable curriculum standards,
based on historical good practice, for each of its programs.
Instructional Delivery: A legitimate institution requires its learners to undertake instruction,
either from its own faculty, or from providers who have been accredited or approved based on a
rigorous approval model.
Authorization: Legitimate authorization involves the institution placing itself under the
oversight of a duly appointed, sanctioned approval body. A legitimate institution grants degrees
under the authority of the government agency in the state or country in which it operates.
Faculty Standards: A legitimate institution will contract with and employ faculty members
who are appropriately qualified to teach in their disciplines, diverse in their educational
backgrounds, and committed to academic excellence.
Organizational Oversight
Fuzion Bible Institute’s governance and strategic direction are overseen by a Board of Directors
which provides organizational oversight and guards Fuzion Bible Institute’s integrity.

Work/Life Experience (Up to 30% can be used towards either a B.Th or M.Th)
Credit for Ministerial Experience
We believe that work and life experience should translate into academic credit if it can be
verified. So we do permit limited credit for life experience. Up to 30% of your total credit may
come from your Personal Life Portfolio.
How We Do It
You will work with the Fuzion Bible Institute staff to develop a portfolio of your significant
accomplishments and acquired learning, called your Life Experience Portfolio. The Life
Experience Portfolio is a review of the comprehensive learning you have acquired during your
pastoral ministry.
Once you've developed your Life Experience Portfolio, you'll associate your work and life
learning events and experiences with college and university courses that match your experience.
And you'll document that experience with a verifiable resume and narrative of work and life
learning.
Although all Fuzion Bible Institute learners may apply for Life Experience Portfolio credit, it is
recommended that only learners with significant Ministerial experience undertake this method of
earning credit towards a degree. You will need a minimum 10 years of ministry experience and
you must have extensive documentation. If you feel you may qualify please contact us.
