In 1994, Elder Rainey started an advanced Bible training program for the Young People's Department at Christ Temple Church. The vision was to begin training our young people who believe they have a calling of God to the ministry. The training was to educate and equip them to effectively and systematically learn, then teach the Word of God to others.
   From the beginning, the Pastor saw the need for such a program to be offered to the entire body of Christ. The name was changed from "Young Ministers Training" to "Ministers Training." In 1997, the school was certified as a Bible Institute through Aenon Bible College, Indianapolis, Indiana.

   Today VLBI offers the Ministerial Preparation Course, Evangelical Training Association courses as well as the Aenon Bible College Certificate and Degree Courses. VLBI's open door policy has made it possible for Bible students from all denominations to enhance their learning and develop their skills.

   Our vision is to provide sound, structured ministerial teaching and preaching in the Northwestern District Council by placing Bible Institutes throughout the states of Missouri and Kansas.
