ABOUT US
Miracle Bible Training Center (MBTC)
Harvester believes in the process of ongoing training of its members, so that each member can function in the Body of Christ, which is the church.
In 1989 Dr. Andre Pelser had a vision of establishing a spirit filled university, where students could be equipped for their life’s work. As a foundation for the university, he felt inspired to establish a biblical patterned lifestyle course centered on the life of Christ, following in His footsteps. Dr. Andre and Nola Pelser founded Miracle Bible Training Center in Cape Town (MBTC) after many years of study, life experience and church planting in more than 30 nations around the world. They felt a need for a university that would fully equip believers for accurate lifestyles in the Kingdom of God. Most bible institutions train people only for the full time ministry, neglecting the other 90% of the church’s workforce. Believing that everyone is called into the ministry, but in different roles and capacities, led the Pelsers to train believers for their specific work of ministry.
Lecturers from almost every scope of ministry and church background have been given the opportunity to impart their lives to the students, laying the foundation for a truly fivefold equipping center. Many students have since planted their own churches or became active in the body of Christ wherever they went.
