What He Calls Us to Do,
He Equips Us to Do! Such was the case with Dr. Kathy Bojanowski and Dr. Beth Laurent. God indeed prepared and equipped them for the call He placed on their lives. Twenty years of biblical study and teaching God’s Word at meetings, retreats, on the radio, and in her home church brought Dr. Kathy to the point of earning her Master of Ministries Degree and later her Doctor of Theology Degree at Shalom Bible College & Seminary (West Des Moines, Iowa). So it was in 1998 that God called her to begin a non-profit organization called For His Glory, Inc. for the purpose of teaching God's Word, proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and worshipping His Name wherever He would lead her.
A year after forming For His Glory Inc., God instructed Dr. Kathy to begin For His Glory School of Ministries to provide in-depth biblical study to those in the Milwaukee area. For a year, classes were held once a week at a Mary Kay Training Center, until in 2000, FHG School of Ministries became For His Glory Bible College --a chartered school of divinity under Shalom Ministries, Inc. God provided a small office and classroom suite in West Wind Office Center, Pewaukee, Wisconsin, and wonderful students to fill it with hungry hearts to study His Word. It was then that Dr. Beth began a one-year internship at FHGBC as part of her doctoral work at Shalom Bible College & Seminary. Her heart for the Lord and His Word along with her background of 25 years in social work and administrative work as a supervisor were part of her equipping by God. The rest of our history follows...and we give God all the glory, for He has done over and above what we could ask or think! |

Testimony from the heart of
Rev. Terri Konkel about the class, The Song of Solomon... I LOVE this class. It has changed my life! As I continue to study this book and cry out to God for deeper places, I have experienced greater spiritual growth and intimacy...My heart and mind are fully yielded to the King who daily calls me to arise and come away with Him, and so I thank Him for not allowing the hardened clay in the garden of my heart to remain. From day to day and glory to glory, may my husband see more of Jesus in me, and may He be the sweet savor of Truth and Life in our home, now and forevermomre. Amen! |
How vital it is that our students not only receive knowledge of the Bible and its truths, but more importantly that the Word is written on the very tablets of their hearts and penetrates the depths of their being. This is the work of the Holy Spirit and it is of utmost importance that our courses are anointed and taught under His direction in order to stir up a hunger and a diligence in the students to not only receive and study His Word but also to allow His work in their hearts and lives. The end result will be fruit that remains and a great multiplication factor when those who are taught then teach others (2 Timothy 2:2). May it all be for the glory of God and the furtherance of His Kingdom! We count it a privilege to teach His Holy Word! 
A Night to Give Thanks...
On December 2, 2017, a retirement celebration was held in honor of Dr. Laurent, for her years of faithful service, teaching and ministry as president of FHGBC. Only God knows the full extent of the fruit of her labors, and we are forever grateful! She continues to serve on the FHG Board of Directors and will be part of the new season that is beginning at FHGBC as we examine additional and more current ways of providing students with unique pathways to earning their biblical degrees.
