Listen to this short video which features Robert's BBS&I students sharing in their own words what their seminary means to them, their favorite course and their plans following graduation.
The seminarians Robert equips and mentors at Baptist Bible Seminary & Institute are training for their calling to serve with excellence.

BBS&I was established in the early 1930s by ABWE following the vision of Dr. Rafael Thomas. Dr. Thomas was a medical missionary who was committed to church planting and the training of nationals along for accomplishing that work.  

After WW2 and in the 1950s, the seminary came to be located at its present location in East Manila.  In due course, ABWE finished the transition of handing over the seminary to mostly Filipino leadership.  ABWE continued to provide missionaries for theological education and mentoring.

Robert has been tasked to work along the pastoral ministry department to help shape men and women for ministry. These are usually 3rd and 4th year students who upon graduation will serve in local church internships throughout the Philippines, Asia and around the world, then in full-time ministry positions.  


Robert teaches and mentors students through 15 courses in the Pastoral Ministry Department:
  • New Testament Biblical Theology
  • Biblical Hermeneutics
  • Christian Apologetics
  • Contemporary Theology
  • Missiology and World Missions 
  • Travel Epistles 
  • Book of Revelation
  • Book of Hebrews
  • Homiletics
  • Leviticus
  • Church Management
  • ​Acts/Life & Work on the Mission Field
  • Contextual Theology
  • Urban Ministry Missions
  • and Baptist History & Distinctives

Robert has also represents ABWE's continuing influence on the seminary board as a voting member.  

Present Prayer Items
  • Pray - Due to the influence of Covid restrictions, the Clarks cannot yet return to the Philippines following their stateside visit last May to be present at their daughter's wedding.  Please pray for restrictions to be lifted.
  • Pray - For the Lord to use Robert through his online courses to teach and equip students even while in California. The new school year began on August 24th and he is teaching Leviticus and all missions courses. 
  • Pray for Robert in his new role as a BBSI board member.  Pray for the board as they work together to take over the loss of two board/faculty members in 2020, which will be a difficult thing as they were so integral to the seminary's future endeavors.
  • Praise & Prayer - Our new president, Dr. David Sera-Josef is also trying to move from New Jersey where he has served for many years to now lead his alma mater into new chapters of training God's people. Pray for open doors for the move in 2021.
  •  Pray for the students to be diligent in their studies and committed to the preaching and teaching of the inerrant Word of God and learning how to use God's Word to solve common church issues.  

Degree + Internship

Coffee + Mentoring

Peers + Training

Picture
Students at BBS&I obtain up to a  Biblical Theology Degree and then enter a year-long internship at either their home church or another in the Philippines.  Some now are going abroad into Asia (Cambodia, Vietnam, etc.) and the world (Canada, South America and Israel to name a few)!
Picture
Robert spends time with interested students outside of class, usually over coffee, to talk about their walk of faith in ministry, practical theology issues and personal concerns
Picture
Certain classes afford the opportunity to weave into the curriculum times of peer mentoring.  This gives students time to work on assignments,  as he monitors the groups.
 "Everywhere we look in the Philippines the same conclusion is easily recognizable...
MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES STILL ABOUND!"
