Work Study and Summer Service

Work Study Program
As part of the overall Joshua program we include a work study portion that all students are required to participate in throughout the year that not only offsets the program cost but is also designed to train and build a positive work ethic. Part of the Joshua program has been to work at Hume Lake on the weekends and summer to gain valuable skills and develop discipline and work ethic. This continues under the work study program and will directly offset the student’s program fees, contributing $6800 to program costs for each student. This is already calculated into the overall payment schedule and should not be considered an extra way to pay off the monthly or out of pocket costs of the program. In the basic sense, Hume Lake offsets $6800 per student which they work off while they attend Joshua. This lowers the upfront out of pocket costs making the program more affordable from the start. Students will also receive a $50 stipend each month for incidentals, and all other basic costs of living in the building and on trips are taken care of.

Summer Service Practicum
The 12 month Joshua Wilderness Institute program includes 9 months of traditional classroom education and work study finishing with 3 months of summer service practicum (this is also a part of the work study program). After completing the traditional Joshua program, which runs September to May, students will have a short break, then return to Hume to put what they’ve learned into action. Students will move down to main camp and work as Hume Lake summer staff with the intention of putting into practice the skills that they have developed over the year in their Ministry Skills and other classes. Learning to build community, start Bible studies, resolve conflict and lead their peers, with the Joshua staff available as resources, will prepare them as they move on to college and other real life situations. Students will also have the ability to enroll with our partnering colleges and complete the Work Ministry Internship requirements that some colleges have, earning up to six units depending on the school.

College Credit

We are partnering with Moody Bible Institute’s Distance Learning program to offer up to 18 units of credit. Our Elements of Bible Study, Major Prophets, Pauline Epistles and Israel Prep classes make up 12 of those units. All students will take these classes, and if they choose to pay the Moody tuition at $210 per unit, they can receive up to 12 fully accredited, transferable units of Bible credit. Most Bible colleges and Christian universities will accept these as part of their Bible requirements, and some liberal arts universities will accept them as open elective credits. Credit is dependent on how they do in the class. Students may choose two of four additional 3 unit courses that they may complete on their own time for a potential total of 18 units.

********All costs below are not contracted costs with colleges but rather to display the current cost per unit of Christian Schools in California. All courses for credit within the Joshua Wilderness Institute are taken through Moody Bible Institute. Students desiring to transfer coursework or credits to other schools will go through Moody Bible Institute and send their transcripts to the school of choice for consideration. Attending Joshua does not guarantee acceptance into any of the schools listed below or guarantee transfer credit. These situations are all on a per person situation as well as the standards and policies of the particular institutions.

School (Average Cost Per Unit)	Cost Per Unit
Biola University	$1,389 per unit

Simpson College	$1,020 per unit
San Diego Christian College	$1,075 per unit
Fresno Pacific University	$938 per unit
Moody through Joshua	$210 per unit

2017-18 Class List

Pauline Epistles I

BI-3325

Mandatory class with the option to receive three units of Bible Credit through Moody Bible Institute at $210 per unit

An expository study of 1 and 2 Corinthians, with attention given to the background, church problems, doctrine, and practical applications of these books.

Historical Geography of Ancient Israel

BI-2260

Mandatory class with the option to receive three units of Bible Credit through Moody Bible Institute at $210 per unit.

The Israel preparation class helps students get the most out of their two week trip to Israel as well as tie into the Old Testament Survey course. This class combines biblical geography, Hebrew culture, basics of the Hebrew language, as well as customs and practices of Jesus’ time. This class imparts a better understanding of the land and context in which the Bible takes place.

Old Testament Survey

Mandatory class. Not eligible for credits.

The Old Testament Class at the Joshua Wilderness Institute has three purposes. The first is to demonstrate to students their ability to study the Old Testament scriptures on their own. Many students today are prone to ignore the OT when it comes to life application, discipleship, or evangelism because they feel that it is either too difficult to interpret or too outdate to be relevant. The first purpose of this class is to dispel that myth. The second purpose of the class is study the character of God. Similarly, when students want to understand who God is they spend the majority of their study time investigating Jesus Christ in the New Testament. While this is certainly a good way to understand God, it is not all that has been revealed about Him and to get a complete picture one must look at the Old Testament. The third and last purpose of the class is to get a clear perspective on the overarching rise and fall of man’s relationship with God as displayed in the OT. The Old Testament scriptures show such a clear pattern of man’s duality and his constant fluctuation from faithfulness to faithlessness despite God’s consistency. This pattern is important for students to understand because that same duality is present in our lives, despite God’s consistency, and an understanding of His faithfulness regardless of our failure is a major key to ongoing growth in discipleship, and the avoidance of discouragement.

Theology

Mandatory class. Not eligible for credits.

The Joshua Theology class is designed to give students an overview of the basic doctrines of the Christian faith. Our desire is that students will walk away with not only an understanding of what it means to be a Christian but that they would own their faith and practically live out what Jesus describes in the Bible as being a disciple. This is not a quest for knowledge but rather owning ones faith and striving to understand the heart of God and what he desires from his people. During the year we will cover such topics as scripture, God, man, sin, Christ, salvation, church, and the end times.
