God is not only the Author of all Love, the Bible is His message

53 The Spiritual Entrepreneur: Dr. Chuck Missler
As we mentioned in our earlier article, when someone becomes
truly serious about serving our Lord, he is typically confronted
with two basic choices: Seeking employment in a Christian
organization or joining an organization in which one must bring
their own support.

“He that answereth a matter before
he heareth it, it is folly and shame
unto him.”
Proverbs 18:13
As maturing Christians, we should
find value in diverse views challenging
us to further study and to be open to
additional perspectives. While we may
not agree with all the details in each
article, we see great value in them.
These articles are intended to stimulate
discussion among the Koinonia Institute

FROM THE EDITOR
DEAR FRIENDS
Dr. Chuck Missler
Editor-in-chief, Personal UPDATE
D
ear Friends in Christ Jesus:
This letter is to introduce a new emphasis in this publication
which will feature a renewed focus on the three pillars of the
programs of the Koinonia Institute:
• A BEREAN Section to encourage us to be more serious
than ever in studying the Word of God as the pre-emptive
priority of our lives;
• An ISSACHAR Section to help us understand the challenges emerging
in the world around us, and to keep us from being blindsighted by forthcoming upheavals; and
• The KOINONOS Section to help each of us to discover, and to prepare
for, our distinctive callings.
“The two most important days of our lives is the day we were born,
and the day we discover why.” –Mark Twain
We will also preview and explain many new resources and
opportunities that will be assisting each of us on this grand adventure.
Please do keep us high on your prayer list: it is a warfare, after all!
In His Holy Name,
Chuck

THE BEMA SEAT
OUR FINAL EXAM
Dr. Chuck Missler
President/Founder, Koinonia Institute
T
hey say experience is a hard teacher because it
gives the test first and the lessons afterward.
However, we have ample lessons in life well in
advance of our final exam. Paul has given us
numerous written guides to help us prepare for it.1
Yet we all do have a last “final exam” still ahead
of us: “We must all appear before the Bema seat of
Christ...”2 And every day that our Lord tarries gives
us an additional day to prepare for it.
What is the “Bema seat”? Where will it be held?
When is it given? What is at stake? What are the
grading criteria?
BIO
Dr. Chuck Missler
President/Founder,
Koinonia Institute
After a distinguished
military career and more
than 30 very successful
years in the corporate
business environment,
Chuck was led to pursue
a life-long endeavor
of teaching the Bible
on a full-time basis.
He founded Koinonia
House, an organization
devoted to encouraging
people to study the Bible.
He also founded Koinonia
Institute to enable people
to have a Kingdom effect
on the world today.
The Bema Seat
This judgment is often taught as simply an
awards ceremony, but that is not entirely correct.
It was the tribunal seat, the judicial bench, the judgment seat,
or throne of the one in charge. Herod Agrippa I addressed the people
of Tyre and Sidon from his Bema seat.3 Jesus was brought before
Pilate4 and his Bema seat. Paul was accused before Proconsul Gallio;5
and brought before Festus at Caesarea6 facing a Bema seat. (A relic
of one was found among

principal judgments
that are often confused:

the Sheep and Goat Judgment,
and the Great White Throne.
7
There are three principal judgments that are often confused:
the Bema Seat Judgment, the Sheep and Goat Judgment, and the
Great White Throne. They are each quite different.
The Bema Seat7 deals with rewards for obedience, crowns,
and the call of the Bride to the Marriage of the Lamb which occurs
in the Father’s house.
The Sheep and Goat Judgment8 is on the earth. Three separate
parties are involved, and mortals are judged on the basis of
their “works.”
The Great White Throne9 occurs at the end of the Millennium,
deals with the unsaved dead, and ushers in the New Heavens,
the New Earth, and the New Jerusalem.

The Bema Seat Judgment is apparently the first order of business
for the translated saints after the Harpazo. Everyone present will
be “saved;” salvation is not the issue here. (That was concluded
on a wooden cross erected in Judea about 2,000 years ago!)

8 Matt 25:31-46.
9 Rev 20:11-15.

Everyone present will have been saved by the completed work of our
Lord Jesus. The issue here is fruit-bearing, not salvation.
All are building on the same foundation, but with vastly
differing results.
According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise
masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth
thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is
Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 3:10,11 (KJV)
“Let every man take heed:” A solemn warning. We are God’s
Building. We are only subcontractors.
The evaluation procedure is then detailed:
“Now if any man build upon this foundation
gold, silver, precious stones, [or]
wood, hay, stubble;
1 Corinthians 3:12 (KJV)
Notice that there are six commodities in two groups, in
descending order of worth. Three are products of a God’s creative act,
not growth or development; three are the result of natural growth
and development (from our old nature?).
The first three are permanent. The last three will perish under
fire. (The largest load of hay or wood would be worth less than the
smallest diamond.)
Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare
it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every
man’s work of what sort it is.
Also, notice that the “work” is being appraised, not the person.
It is the work being tested by fire, not the individual. All are building
on the same foundation, but the results are vastly different.
9
If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall
receive a reward.
Rewards, not salvation, are the issue. Among these rewards,
five crowns may be included: the Crown of righteousness,10
Crown of glory,11 Crown of life,12 incorruptible Crown,13 and Crown
of rejoicing.14
Salvation is invariably presented as a free gift;15 rewards are earned
by works (fruit-bearing).16
Salvation is a present possession;17 rewards are a future attainment
given by Him at His Coming.18
If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he
himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
So you have been saved: what have you done with it?
That which is done for sake of personal gain, popularity,
influence, or its impression on the world, will be for naught.19
Lot as an example
Lot was vexed daily.20 Abraham was not vexed; he had separated
himself from the world.
God destroyed Sodom but saved

Tears in Heaven?
Why? (There will be no sin, no sickness, no death, nor lack
of anything…)
“Of all the words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: ‘it might
have been.” –John Greenleaf Whittier
When I take my life under review, I will be deeply distressed.
Not for the sins I’ve committed: they have all been paid for by my
Saviour. I will be distressed for the time and opportunities I’ve
wasted; for the time frittered away on foolishness; for the people
I might have helped; for the moments I lacked the courage to exploit
for Him; etc., etc., etc....
Every day our Lord tarries is another day in which we may repair
our own report cards.
Our Final Exam is rapidly approaching. What are you doing to
prepare for it?
That’s what the Koinonia Track within the Koinonia Institute
is intended for. Let us help you where we can.
In His Name,
Chuck
Dr. Chuck Missler’s newest ongoing Bible study
on the Book of 1 Corinthians.
“The city of Corinth was a major influence throughout that part of the world in
every respect, including it becoming an idiom for fornication (which, of course,
became idiomatic for the entire gentile culture). When I teach this book in America,
I can’t resist calling it “1st Californians. Unfortunately, the epithet is justified.”

Empires which had occupied this region since the

(68 BC – 363 AD) succeeded the Greeks (332 – 63 BC)
which had succeeded the Persians (539-332 BC) which
had conquered the Babylonians (606-539 BC).
What preceded the Babylonian Empire? From approximately
2600BC to 612 BC this region was home to various Assyrian empires.
In summary, the Assyrian region has a 4,600-year continuous history
of conflict and conquests. In fact, the armies of this region were well
known for their brutal tactics. The Assyrian King Ashurnasirpal wrote
after his campaign of 883BC,
“I built a pillar over against
the city gate and I flayed all
the chiefs who had revolted
and I covered the pillar with
their skins. Some I impaled

and I bound their heads to tree trunks round about the city. Their young
men and maidens I consumed with fire. The rest of their warriors
I consumed with thirst in the desert of the Euphrates.”6
Who are its leaders?
Genesis chapter 10 tells us of this region’s first great leader.
Nimrod “began to be a mighty one on the earth.”7 He was responsible
for building both the cities of Babel and Nineveh. Some Bible
scholars believe that Nimrod was the first world-governing ruler,
thus earning him the notoriety of being a prototype of the end-times
antichrist. Isaiah tells us that the Pharaoh that “oppressed them
(Israel) without cause”8 was an Assyrian. Both Syrian Kings BenHadad9 and Hazael10 put the northern tribes of Israel under tribute.
The Assyrian King Shalmaneser IV conquered Northern Israel11
and Sennacherib led a failed attempt to defeat Jerusalem where he lost
185,000 troops in a single night.12
Against this history of ruthless oppression God still deals
generously with the Assyrian people. God sent them prophets like

14
Jonah, Elijah13, Elisha14, and Nahum. The apostle Paul was converted
on the road to Damascus15 and began his public ministry there16.
What is its prophetic destiny?
The Bible is not silent when it comes to prophecies concerning
Assyria. Daniel chapter 11 details in advance the wars that would be
fought between the Ptolemies of Egypt and the Seleucids of Assyria.
Chapter 11 ends with verses 21 to 35, which detail the treacherous
exploits of Antiochus IV Epiphanes. In 168 BC this tyrant made
Torah reading punishable by death, slaughtered a pig on the Jewish
altar, and then erected an idol to Zeus in the Holy of Holies of the
Temple. All of this foreshadowed “The Abomination of Desolation”
as described by Daniel chapter 9 verse 27. Some Bible scholars believe
that Antiochus IV Epiphanes is another prototype of the end-times
antichrist.
Daniel gives us yet again another very interesting clue as to the
identity of the end-times antichrist that ushers in the seventieth week
of chapter nine.17 He states that “the people of the prince that shall
come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.”18 In 68 AD the Roman
General Titus surrounded the city of Jerusalem, with four legions
(V, X, XII and XV). The Twelfth Legion
(Legio XII Fulminata) was sent out by
the legate of Syria and was made up of
units from the Syrian army. This legion
participated in the defeat of Jerusalem
and the destruction of the Temple.
In the Biblical end-time judgment
scenario God promises, “I will punish
the fruit of the stout heart of the king of
Assyria, and the glory of his high looks”19
13 1 Kings 19:15
14 2 Kings 8:7-10

and He “will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains
tread him under foot.”20
In Joel Richardson’s book
“The Islamic Antichrist” he lists some
very provocative predictions concerning
Islamic eschatology. He shows that the
Mahdi will be the caliph and imam of
the Muslim world, make a seven-year
peace treaty with a Jew of priestly linage,
and will appear on a white horse.21
The sixth chapter of the Book
of Revelation states, “I looked, and
behold, a white horse. He who sat on
it had a bow; and a crown was given to
him, and he went out conquering and
to conquer;”22 so it would seem that
the Islamic Mahdi is a perfect match
for the rider of this white horse. Notice that the rider on the white
horse has a bow (without reference to an arrow). The term used here
could mean a symbol of a covenant using the hermeneutic principle
of first mention, as the first use

23 Genesis 9:12,13

Joel Richardson goes on
to list the characteristics of the
Muslim Jesus. “He will return
to the earth in the last-days near
a mosque in Damascus. He will
arrive at a time when the Mahdi
and his army will be preparing
to pray.”24
When you consider the coalescence of current events in the
former region of Assyria with Biblical precedents and prophecies,
it should not seem strange to see this region of the world once
again at the center of the world’s prophetic stage. The question is,
“What should we be doing during this time of great uncertainty?”
The prophet Habakkuk was faced with a similar challenge during
his lifetime. God showed him that Israel was going to be overrun
by the Chaldeans. “Look among the nations and watch—be utterly
astounded! For I will work a work in your days which you would
not believe, though it were told you. For indeed I am raising up the
Chaldeans, A bitter and hasty nation which marches through the
breadth of the earth, to possess dwelling places that are not theirs.
They are terrible and dreadful; their judgment and their dignity
proceed from themselves.”25 These predictions troubled Habakkuk
so he sought an answer from God. God responded with this simple
statement, “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the
just shall live by his faith.”26

The rapid rise of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has caused many
in the world to wonder at its apocalyptic implications. We will examine this
emerging problem with what I like to call the “Issachar Challenge” Therefore,
we need to address three questions concerning this area of the world:
• What is its history?
• Who are its leaders?
• What is its prophetic destiny?
When you consider the coalescence of current events in the former region
of Assyria with Biblical precedents and prophecies it should not seem strange
to see this region of the world once again at the center of the world’s
prophetic stage. The question is, “What should we be doing during this time
of great uncertainty?”

How We Got Our Bible
• Where did our Bible come from?
• How good are the texts?
• Why do we believe its origin is supernatural?
• How do we know that it really is
the Word of God?
• How accurate are our translations?
• Which version is the best?
How to Study the Bible
From forty years of intensive Bible study and teaching,
Missler shares his favorite helps, secrets and practical
suggestions on how to take the Bible seriously.
Footprints of the Messiah
Review some of the major passages in the Tanakh
(the Old Testament) which predict and describe the
Scriptural expectations to be fulfilled by the Messiah
of Israel. This study will also take a mathematical
analysis of a small sampling from the more than
300 predictions concerning the Jewish Messiah.
The Christmas Story
Chuck explores the background, and myths,
surrounding our favorite holiday.
• What really happened in Bethlehem
two thousand years ago?
• Who were the “Magi?”
• Why a virgin birth?
• What does a Christmas Tree
have to do with it?
DVDs
US$19.95 ea.
The Easter Story
Most reasonably informed Christians are well
aware that many of the traditions that surround
the Christmas holidays have pagan origins and very
little correlation with the actual events as recorded
in the Bible. However, most of us are surprised when
we discover that some of what we have been taught
about Easter is not only in error, but deliberately so!

plan for our salvation.
Climaxing in Revelation,
a “lens” that puts the entire

Hidden Treasures
Drawing upon over 50 years of
collecting, Chuck highlights in this
study many of the precious nuggets
that have become characteristic of
his popular Bible studies around the

prove, and hopefully disturb. It will
confound the skeptic and encourage

The Fulcrum
of the Entire Universe
Isaiah 53 is one of the most
astonishing passages in the entire
Bible: It is often called, “The Holy
of Holies” of the Old Testament.
However, it is even more broadly
impacting than most people realize;
that’s why we call it, “The Fulcrum
of the Entire Universe.” Its reach
includes the entire creation.

The Mystery of Melchizedek
Who was this strange Priest/
King that received tithes from
Abraham? (…and administered
bread and wine to him?)
Deriving from some very recent
discoveries in Jerusalem (although
some are yet to be confirmed)
this study may challenge many
of the comfortable traditions
that have shaped our classic
Biblical perspectives.

The End Times
The Bible contains 8,362

today. Understanding
prophecy is an essential

every serious Christian.

Jesus of Nazareth Speaks in His Own Words
about Himself, His Purpose, His Nature,
and His Mission
HANCES ARE, Jesus isn’t who you think He is.
No matter what you may have read before about
this first-century rabbi from Nazareth, there’s
a good possibility that you’ve been misinformed. In fact,
maybe you’ve been wrong from the start about the most
amazing man who ever walked the surface of the earth.
Many people who knew Jesus understood Him
well enough to admire Him, to respect Him,
and to love Him. Others were terrified of Him.
Some of His own relatives said He was out of His
mind. But the politically and religiously intolerant
leaders of first-century Israel hated Him. So they
murdered Him. But that wasn’t the end of the story. Dr. Chuck
Missler
Not by a long shot.
Today, more than twenty centuries later, respected
Bible scholars Dr. Chuck Missler and Dr. William
Welty bring Jesus of Nazareth to you in the most
unconventional way possible… by bringing Jesus
of Nazareth to talk in His very own words about
Himself, His purpose, His nature, and His mission.

End-Times Deception
What Is Truth?
• How do we know what is really true?
• How do we know that the Bible is true?
• How sure can we be?
We live in a skeptical environment, where even the very
existence of truth is questioned. Lately, the Bible - and
even the Lord Jesus himself - has been under attack.
Death of Discernment
Of all the end-time themes discussed in the Bible,
“deception and apostasy in the church” is listed more
times than any other end-time “sign of the times.”
Are we currently living in the Age of Apostasy?
Ron Matsen explores the evidence and causes
of apostasy and provides an antidote for apostasy
in this timely study.
DVDs
US$19.95 ea.
Doctrines of Demons
What does the Bible have to say about the End Times?
Matthew’s Gospel records the warning of Jesus where
He said, “Take heed that no one deceives you.”
The apostle Paul expands on this by stating; “Now the
Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart
from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and
doctrines of demons.” Ron Matsen investigates
and exposes these dangerous doctrines.
Kabbalah And The Rise Of Mysticism
Beyond the beguiling allure of many contemporary
forms of ancient paganism, such as the New Age,
Wicca, and others, many people have become
attracted to a form of Hebrew mysticism known
as Kabbalah.
Join Chuck as he delves deeply into the hidden world
of Kabbalah and exposes the lies and traps that Satan
has laid there for the unwary.

Koinonos
The Kingdom
“After being Christians for over 50 years, we consider the truths in
this series to be some of the most life-changing principles we have
encountered since our new birth.” — Chuck and Nancy Missler
Scripture tells us that we are to “prepare ourselves”
for Christ’s soon return. What exactly does this Mean? What if we
aren’t prepared? Being ready, fit and prepared will dramatically affect
our role, our position and our place of responsibility
in the future Millennial Kingdom.
In this DVD series, Chuck and Nancy

The Great Commission
The last commandment of Jesus before His
ascension was for His disciples to “go into all the
world and preach the gospel to every creature.”
Evangelism
• How seriously should we personally
take this command today?
• Is this command somehow only
limited to those who feel
they have the gift of evangelism?
• What needs to be said, understood,
and believed for a person to be
born-again?
DVDs
US$19.95 ea.
Discovering God
The beginning of a person’s reconciliation with
God is their recognition of God. The argument
for and against the existence of God has raged
for ages. Yet proving the existence of God is an
understanding that comes from an “aggregate of
thoughts” knit together with “summary logic.”
• Can the existence of God be proven?
• What are the classic arguments for
the existence of God?
• If an infinite God exists, how can
He be understood by finite man?
Defending the Bible
For salvation, Man must understand the purpose
and power of the Bible. But how do we explain
our faith? If we only rely on our personal
experience to explain our faith, we are no
different than any other religious mystic.
• Can the Bible be trusted or has it been
corrupted over time?
• How do we defend the Bible
as the inerrant Word of God?
• What does the Bible reveal about
God and us?
36
Jesus: Who & Why?
Just who is Jesus Christ? What did Jesus actually
accomplish? Jesus Christ is not “a concept,” an “idea,”
or a “useful traditional value.” He is an actual living
person who came to accomplish a specific purpose that
prevails over everything else. Join Dr. Chuck Missler as
he explores who Jesus really is.
DVDs
US$19.95 ea.
Human Nature
What does it mean to be human?
Philosophers, theologians, sociologists and
psychologists have attempted to understand
the nature of mankind for ages.
Their conclusions often contradict each
other which lead to confusion rather than
clarification. Clearly, Man is a very complicated
social being. The Bible tells us that man is
“fearfully and wonderfully made.”
Join Ron Matsen as he explores the subject of
our “Human Nature” and gives insight into the
architecture and accountability of all mankind.
The Gospel:
The Message of Reconciliation
One of the last instructions given by Jesus
to the Church was, “Go into all the world
and preach the gospel.” (Mark 16:15)
The fact is most Christians don’t know how
to share their faith effectively. Sadly, many of
the people they know in the world today are
wandering around, lost and without hope,
having never heard the wonderful Message
of Reconciliation.
Join Ron Matsen as he explores the
subject of “The Gospel – The Message of
Reconciliation” and gives practical
insight into how to share the essential
doctrines of salvation.

Him. This two-part series by Dr. Dan

King’s High Way
Nancy Missler, Founder, KHW
Paperback: 368 pages
US$18.95 ea.
You can have faith, but still be hopeless. After being a Christian for over
60 years, Nancy lost her hope this past year as she faced overwhelming
and multiple physical challenges. When you lose your hope, you not
only lose your mooring and your grounding, you also lose your vision
and your dreams. But God…loved her so much…that He used her
pain and suffering to teach her what real hope in Him means.
That’s what this book is all about.
Hope is “the tie or the connection to the Lord behind the veil.”
Hope not only allows us to “see Him who is invisible” in the midst
of our trials, it also gives us the endurance to go on. Only “hope” can
become “the anchor of our soul” when everything around us is crashing
and burning. (Hebrews 6:18-19)
Like Abraham, “who against hope believed in hope,” we must learn to
unconditionally trust the Lord to do the impossible, regardless of what
we see, what we think, or what we feel. (Romans 4:18)

ON THE ROAD
by Dr. Gordon McDonald
Executive Director,
Communications
F
or some 21 years the Lord has seen fit to allow me to be the proverbial
“fly on the wall” while traveling and serving with Chuck. I am
sure that many of you have imagined the fantasy of having all
the time available to explore the depths of the “rabbit trails” that
Chuck often tantalizes us with.
I have thought of you many times through the years, wishing
that I had all your questions as well as my own. I have always seen
what I have been allowed to do as somehow vicariously sharing this
experience with all who have been blessed by this ministry. This has
allowed me to remain “one of you.”
40
Oftentimes your questions have been the
inspiration for our conversations. I want you to
know that I listened as you poured your hearts out,
tried to articulate some technical question or tried to
express the wondrous world of understanding that
He had opened to you. Through me your voice has
been heard. Through me your questions have not
only been answered, but have affected what we all,
including Chuck, have learned about the depths of
our Lord’s Life.
The road is not easy. It is not always “fun.”
But with Chuck, it has never been boring.
On a trip about ten years ago, Chuck and I
were driving across northern Florida. The road
was straight and we had been away from home
for a while, carrying the prospects of speaking
events before us. We filled this time with silence.
The joy of being with you all, talking and teaching,
had left us satisfied with complete silence. I know
what you are all thinking: “What a waste of
seclusion with Chuck.” All I can say in my defense
is that sometimes the body is weak when the heart
is willing.
BIO
Gordon McDonald,
Executive Director,
Communications
After serving in the U.S.
Navy and receiving his
undergraduate degree in
Behavioral Psycholog y,
Gordon was led to come
on staff with Koinonia
House. In his 20 years
with the ministry he has
served in many positions,
most prominently as
Chuck’s research assistant
and traveling companion.
Go rd o n re c e i ve d h i s
Masters (Biblical
Studies) and Doctorate
(Communications)
from Louisiana Baptist
University, and currently
serves as Executive
Director, Communications
with Koinonia Institute.
He has been married to
Tracy for 31 amazing
years with two happily
married children, Erika
and Garrett.
Out of that silence the Lord spoke. The conversation that broke
the silence centered on the continuation of the ministry, Koinonia
House, after Chuck. It also encompassed the observation that many,
or most, of the great Bible teachers of our generation were beginning
to show their age.
Although there were many other conversations that led to the
development of Koinonia Institute, this was the one most precious
to me. Our hope was that the many brothers and sisters that had
discovered the joyful, empowering experience of serious Bible study
could band together, grow together and be made available to God
to become that next layer of leaders in the Body of Christ.
41
We never foresaw all that God would do.
KI Today
In our simplicity of mind we conceived of a learning institution.
We really had no clue. What God has built is a community.
Of course learning still takes place, but it has far eclipsed our
meager expectations. Truly it has grown into a vital and active
body of fellowship in love and service, not limited by distance.
There are over 3,000 members now in over 40 countries. Believers
from all over the world can meet in any given class. Seriously, that is
amazing. That may all too soon be a distant memory.
Translations
As word of KI has spread, the faithful from all over the world
have taken notice. At the beginning of the year, Chuck was asked if
he would go to China if there were “only” 10 members who achieved
completion of their first level, the Bronze Medallion Level. Of course,
Chuck didn’t hesitate to say yes.
As the weeks went by, the numbers were being continually
revised. By April, when we actually went, they had risen, between
China and the Philippines, to 500. Yes, 500. It seems that one person
told another and it “went viral.” Three hundred of those were pastors
who hungered for a greater understanding of God’s Word to better
serve their congregations.
We have always wanted to reach outside the U.S. to countries that
don’t speak English. The problem is God has never sent us anyone
that speaks another language. Relying on translators to interpret what
Chuck is trying to convey seemed

42
With the growth of interest in Asia, and the initial required
resources being provided by the Lord, we are now starting
a major effort to have Chuck’s studies translated into Spanish,
Chinese (both Mandarin and Cantonese), Russian, and German
(French and Italian later). We have already started the plans for a
separate site for KI, completely in Spanish.

We try not to think about how all this gets done, but trust God
that “where He guides, He provides.” Pray for us that we might read
the “road map” accurately.
Organize, Organize
With all this anticipated growth, of course, the necessity to
be ahead of the curve in organizing ourselves has not been lost on
Chuck. The first region that we must do a good job on is the U.S.
If you can’t organize your own house, how can you organize God’s?
From the beginning, our intention was to set up a local network
of KI members who could not only see to the needs of other members
but also spearhead efforts to inform others of the advantages of
serious Bible study. Face-to-face will always be the most effective
method of sharing our lives.
Toward that end we have divided the U.S. into 15 regions
by state boundaries and created a position which we call Deputy
Provost (DP). These DPs serve the members of these regions and
provide all the necessary regional information of member activities
and outreaches. They will also oversee a more local layer of Area
Representatives (AR) who will serve areas or regions within their state.
43
As it has been from the beginning, and as it should be, KI is
dependent upon volunteers who have caught the vision of this
explosion of hunger for the Word of God. We are currently
evaluating members who have expressed an interest in this localfocused network.
Regional Conferences
With the huge success of our Strategic Perspectives Conferences,
the four regional DPs we have installed so far (we need more) have
requested conferences “closer to home.” We are in the process of
bringing a conference to a location near you. Keep your eyes open
for information on this in the near future.
If you missed it, we are
offering Video On-Demand
of our October 24-25 Strategic
Perspectives Conference,
recorded in Coeur d’Alene,
on the kitrust.org website.
It was an incredible conference
with many great speakers.
If you missed it,
we are offering Video
On-Demand of our
October 24-25 Strategic
Perspectives Conference
on www.kitrust.org
As you can see we have many “fingers in many pies.” Pray for us
that we can remain in the middle of what God is doing. Then He can
act miraculously to ensure our ability to complete every one of these
amazingly adventurous projects.
Take the Tour of KI
For those of you who have not yet jumped on the wagon with KI,
we have a new feature at koinoniainstitute.org called “The Tour
of KI” (see next page). It will give a complete overview of life here
at Koinonia Institute. Please consider getting involved.
Also, Chuck’s (along with Dr. William Welty) new book,
I, Jesus: an Autobiography, is now available (see pages 32-33).
This is a very unique book that will change the way you see Jesus
by His own words.
44
The “road” has not ended. There has been a growing awareness
that there really is no “retirement” in Christian service. We hope
to see you soon at a local event.
We certainly pray all of you will continue with us on Chuck’s
Grand Adventure.

PART 1
ast month we began a series of articles on the phenomenal subject
of “hope.” What hope is; why it’s so important and how hope
is our only “anchor” when everything else in our life is crashing
and burning. As we said, God is not only the Author of all Love,
the Bible is His message of “hope” to a dying world.
My motive for writing is that I see hopelessness everywhere,
especially in the Christian Body. And, since I am living in a similar
hopeless (by world’s standards) situation right now,
I pray God would use my own experience to

the heart sick.” This is exactly what happened to me Seasons, The Kingdom,
Po w e r & G l o r y,
last year.
My Story
The following is how it all began…
I was visiting my daughter when she noticed
a bump (or a lump) on the side of my nose.
She kept insisting that I go and see a doctor.
To me, it really wasn’t a big deal, as I normally
don’t go to the doctor. I have always been so healthy.
Finally I gave in and went to see my primary care
doctor. He was concerned enough to refer me to
and her latest,
Hope Against Hope.
In addition to these
popular studies she
also has published six
Plain and Simple Series
books, as well as two
In His Likeness Series
books. Nancy has been
married for over 50 years
to Chuck Missler. They are
the parents of four grown
children, one of whom has
gone to be with the Lord,
and eight grandchildren.
47
an eye, ear and nose specialist who biopsied the lump and one week
later told me it was a malignant melanoma of the mucosal area of my
nose (not a skin cancer). He then referred us to a cancer surgeon,
who candidly and straightforwardly said that either part of my face
and nose should be removed or I would have less than a year to live.
That scared all of us to death. The following day he called, and I asked
him point-blank if I was “his mother,” would he put her through that
kind of an operation. He candidly said “no way.” But he also said
that if I didn’t do anything at all, the melanoma would work fast,
spreading to my brain and other organs, and I would have perhaps
only a couple of months left.
I was in a total daze when I heard all of this, but I believed with
all my heart that God was involved in some way and that He would
do a “miracle.” And that I would somehow be healed and perhaps
lead many others to Christ in the hospital, where lots of “fruit” would
be produced from the whole

to another cancer specialist
who was absolutely adorable and encouraged us to fight the cancer
in any way we could. He referred us to a radiation oncologist who
happened to work closely with many of the surgeons at the famous
Mayo Clinic. Because my case was so rare (1 in 100,000), the Mayo
surgeons agreed to see me. Unfortunately, my insurance was not
what they wanted, but because they had never treated or operated on
someone with my condition, they miraculously made an exception
and took me as a training example. The Mayo doctor said she might
be able to get the cancer from the inside of my nose (without having
to remove it and do such radical surgery). That, obviously, is what
I was praying would happen. At the same time, she introduced me to
a plastic surgeon who would do the reconstruction if needed. He said
48
that in the thirty years that he had been practicing, he had never seen
a cancer like mine nor had he ever operated on one.
To be honest, I was terrified.
The Miracle
The first miracle is that Mayo Clinic did take me and that those
two surgeons operated on me. They were able to keep the top of my
nose but had to remove my entire septum (the bone and cartilage
that support the nose). They then put in stents to hold up the skin
on the top of my nose until such a time that they could reconstruct
a new nose for me. They believed they got all the cancer, as the
margins around the area were clear on the scans.
My sister-in-law kept telling me: “It’s a gift. They got all
the cancer. It’s a gift.” However, I must be honest and say that when
I first saw my face after this surgery, I wept for hours. I do praise God
for getting all the cancer at the time, and it was a gift, but I’ve had to
choose daily by faith to stand on this, because over the next several
weeks everything began to go wrong.
One week after the major operation to remove the cancer, we had
to call 911 because we couldn’t stop the bleeding from my nose.
I have an AFib heart condition that requires me to take a blood
thinner daily. The doctor knew this but mistakenly told me to
continue taking it. Well, it definitely was the wrong decision because
the next morning I woke up bleeding so profusely that they rushed
me to the ER. This also proved to be a mistake, because in the ER
they left me on a makeshift (hard) table for eight hours, bleeding
continuously. They checked me maybe five times the entire day
(never changing my dressings or my clothes, thus I bled all over
myself, the table and the floor).
Finally, at close to 5 PM (we had arrived there at 8 AM),
my surgeon’s assistants came in and proceeded to pull out the metal
wires (the stents) holding my nose skin in place. This absolutely
traumatized me. (Picture the entire top of your nose held up by
stents—small poles. When you pull these out, your nose comes
49
crashing down as there is no septum to now hold it up.) They did
all of this without any anesthesia or painkiller. It was probably
the worst moment of my entire life (I’d give birth to five babies in
place of this). It was horrific. I kept calling out “Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!”
Over and over again, I cried out in pain and asked them to please
stop. They wouldn’t and seemed completely unsympathetic.
I know if it hadn’t been The young intern doing the

“I know what you are going

face!) Like Job, I cried out in agony
to the Lord, “Why Lord, have you forsaken me?” It was absolutely
devastating. Finally, they gave me two transfusions and sent me,
thankfully, to the main hospital.
I know if it hadn’t been for the Body of Christ praying for me
that day, I would never have made it through….
Things kept going from bad to worse—nurses kept getting
offended and the doctors were often sarcastic and belittling.
Rather than draw these people toward the Lord in us, which is what
we had hoped God would do, they fled from us. It was so strange.
It was as though the enemy had this huge inroad and monstrous
stronghold and he wasn’t going to give it up for anything. In the
midst of this spiritual battle and the intense pain, my “hope became
deferred” and it became very difficult for me “to see” the Lord’s Hand.
I had expected so many miracles to happen, but after time passed
and things kept going downhill, my question to God became:
“Where are You, Lord?”
“Cancer” (medically and personally) can be defined as something
that has taken over, controlled, permeated, usurped and defiled a
whole system or another person. It brings with it a spirit of disunity,
anxiety, insensitiveness—certainly not the “fruit of the Spirit” but
the fruit of “the flesh.” This is exactly what the cancer did to me.
It was the first time that I had ever really experienced the physical part
50
of “the flesh” (i.e., the pain). I’ve talked in all my books about
“the flesh,” but never really had experienced the physical side of it.
I had been through the ups and downs of huge emotional and mental
calamities but never unending physical pain.
Ten days after the above incident, I was scheduled for
reconstruction surgery. But I was so weak and had lost so much
blood that I was worried about even making it through the operation.
The doctors convinced me that the surgery had to be done quickly,
because without the stents holding my nose up, it would begin to
collapse and shrink on its own (like a pig’s nose). So something had
to be done and done quickly. The operation turned out to be seven
hours long. This time they took a strip of skin from the left side
of my forehead (from my hairline down to my left eyebrow),
twisted it downward to become the liner and the blood source for
the new nose cartilage that they had built from a cadaver rib bone.
They laid the strip of skin down first, propped the new septum on it
and then pulled the old nose skin down and sewed it back in place.
Pretty amazing surgery!!
The final operation was when they
took away this “blood source” bridge and
refined some of the bumps on the newly
reconstructed nose.
I wish I could say I sailed through
all of these operations like a “saint.”
But I didn’t. I was sick to my stomach
most of the time, not only from the
surgery but also from the medications
they gave me afterward. I experienced
nausea, dizziness, sinus headaches
and congestion, double vision, infection,
diarrhea, constipation, heart pain, mouth
rash (from air tubes), boils and gums
inflamed. You name it, I had it! I truly
thought a lot about Job during this time.
51
That’s why all the loving e-mails from hundreds of brothers
and sisters all over the world were so precious to me at that time.
I have no doubt that I would not have made it through the above
ordeal without their prayers and their intercession. That’s where
I did see God’s Hand! Even when I couldn’t put my glasses on,
I would hold the glass frame up with one hand and read the e-mails,
continually being blessed by the constant prayers, stories, suggestions
and Scriptures, etc.
This happens over and
over and over again,
I didn’t have the faith to fight
the fight at that time, but they did

know what He is doing.
Many of us, like me, have made previous commitments to trust
our lives to the Lord (in fact, we probably have done this many times
before. I know I have), but because everything somehow goes from
bad to worse, we finally give up. In His Love, God returns to us again
and asks: “Will you trust Me in the darkness this time?” Will you
hope in Me now? Will you once again rely upon Me?” This happens
over and over and over again, until we finally get the message
and learn to trust and hope in a Father that we don’t always see,
a God that we don’t always understand and a Lord that we don’t
always know what He is doing.

THE SPIRITUAL ENTREPRENEUR
Dr. Chuck Missler
President/Founder, Koinonia Institute
A
A ROAD
LESS TRAVELLED
s we mentioned in our earlier article,1 when someone
becomes truly serious about serving our Lord,
he is typically confronted with two
basic choices:
1)Seeking employment in a Christian
organization: a church, a “para-church”
organization, etc.; or
2)Joining an organization in which one
must bring their own support: YWAM,
Campus Crusade, et al.
BIO
Dr. Chuck Missler
President/Founder,
Koinonia Institute
After a distinguished
military career and more
than 30 very successful
years in the corporate
business environment,
Chuck was led to pursue
a life-long endeavor
of teaching the Bible
on a full-time basis.
He founded Koinonia
House, an organization
devoted to encouraging
people to study the Bible.
He also founded Koinonia
Institute to enable people
to have a Kingdom effect
on the world today.
This basic choice is between being an employee
and spending a significant portion of one’s time
soliciting personal support. The second approach
can be effective for a season, but is inefficient over
the long term since one can spend over half their
time “pan-handling.” Each of these have restrictions and frustrations.
There is an alternative, a road less travelled: the independent
“Spiritual Entrepreneur.”2
The Spiritual Entrepreneur
Relying on his vocational income, he is an independent
contractor (occasionally soliciting support for others, but not for
himself ); as such, he can minister to others without being a burden
to them.
1 “The Spiritual Entrepreneur,” Personal Update, March 2014, p.6-8.
2 This word for “risk-taker” was borrowed into English in the mid-19th century from the French (where it literally
means “undertaker.”) When applied homiletically, it could be regarded as somewhat parallel to the term for
ministry, ὑπηρέτης huperetes , the “under-rower” in the galley ships.
53
In fact, we have a

a recognized vocation at the
time, tent-making (coming from Cilicia, which was known for
its unique fabric made from goat’s hair which lent itself for that
purpose.) When he encountered others of the same vocation,
they shared lodging, etc.3
Within the Koinonia Institute we have established
an environment hospitable to developing the independent
“Spiritual Entrepreneur.”
The Koinonia Missionary Fellowship
Within the Koinonia Institute, the Koinonia Missionary
Fellowship (“KMF”) is a “club within a club” for the truly serious
and committed: a private fellowship of lifelong members who have
committed themselves to achieve a Gold Medallion in accordance
with the policies of the Institute (as documented in the current
Handbook of the Institute). The KMF elects its own officers annually
and determines its own procedures and administrative requirements.
Members of the KMF are presumed to include the future
leadership of the Koinonia Institute, and are thus granted special
access, private information, and unique opportunities as they arise.
In support of these confidences, a special Fiduciary Covenant is
required of all KMF members.
A Parsonage Pool
Members of the KMF are also eligible to participate in the
Koinonia Parsonage4 Reserve (“KPR”), a collective pool intended
to assist in the partial reimbursement of “out-of-pocket” ministry
expenses once their Gold Medallion has been achieved. A personal
3 Acts 18:3.
4 Parsonage is defined as any funds set aside to support a missionary in the field. (It is not limited to a minister’s
housing as is commonly assumed.)
54
KPR account is initiated by depositing each lifetime membership
fee into a KPR account on the member’s behalf. Members can
also voluntarily purchase additional participation units for their
personal accounts in the KPR. The unit value of the shares will tend
to increase, not only from normal investment returns; they are also
supplemented, from time to time, by voluntary donations from
external sources which are sympathetic to the goals of the KMF.
The unit value of the parsonage shares are calculated monthly
by dividing the liquidation value of the total fund by the unit claims,
both acquired and reserved via pledges by the members.
The Custodian may permit the registration of a “Pledge,”
consisting of a monthly amount and the number of months
committed to. The required units are then reserved at the thencurrent price for the ultimate acquittal of the Pledge. Each month,
a payment purchases the requisite units from the reserve to the
Member’s account. At any time, for any reason, a Pledge can be
terminated by simply missing a monthly payment, whereupon
the remaining (unpurchased) reserved shares are vacated without
prejudice. It is entirely self-policing.
Ministry Expense Reimbursements
Once the Gold Medallion status has been achieved, the KMF
member can receive an expense reimbursement of up to 7% of his
KPR account annually. Prior to achieving the Gold Medallion,
each member establishes three KMF members to serve as his
“Personal Advisory Board” to monitor his personal mission plan.
Each year this Personal Advisory Board signs an affidavit confirming
that the member is demonstrating a commitment to the Statement
of Faith, that the funds are reimbursement for ministry expenses,
and such other minimum requirements that the collective KMF
membership may establish from time to time.
As long as the KPR maintains a 7% annual growth, the total
equity base does not diminish; only the earnings are disbursed.
Donations, in this case, remain in the KPR in perpetuity.
55
Caveats
The KPR funds are donations for a specific purpose, and not
compensation or part of a personal estate. The disbursements are
for reimbursement of ministry expenses, and are disbursed only
in accordance with the KMF procedures as they are modified from
time to time.
There are no guarantees on the growth or security of the KPR,
other than the good faith of the leadership. A member’s personal
estate should also include such life insurance and other assets as one
can manage. The KPR is for ministry expenses only.
1)The KPR tends to grow through four contributing factors:
2)Additions by the members (Participants);
3)Additions by non-members (Benefactors);
4)Earnings of the invested capital;
5)Ultimate maturation of the elements of “Portfolio N.”
(Non-productive contributions—those not having
a readily determinable liquidation value—are relegated
to “Portfolio N” until they emerge to qualify for the Reserve.
Until then these are excluded from share valuations to avoid
the complexities and expenses of appraisals, etc.)
The composite growth of the unit values of the KPR can be
quite substantial.
External Donor Appeal
The KMF/KPR enterprise appeals to non-member donors
(Benefactors) for four reasons:
1)It represents an opportunity to support competent
participants, as exemplified by the Gold Medallion
requirements detailed in the Koinonia Institute Handbook.
2)It supports participants who are truly committed: they only
participate in proportion to what they have put in personally.
They have their own “skin in the game.” There are no
“free rides.”
56
3)It supports missionary activities which are supervised by
their own peers—not a corporate headquarters
or denominational fiefdom.
4)The donations remain in the ministry in perpetuity.
Only the earnings are at risk or expensed.
Strategic Significance
The vocation of the independent Spiritual Entrepreneur can also
serve as a “cover” in an increasingly hostile environment. In fact,
it may prove to be the ideal rebuttal to the encroaching darkness
that threatens to obliterate or compromise more traditional avenues
of ministry. This will become manifestly evident as Biblical Believers
become increasingly “Politically Incorrect.”
Pray seriously about it.
Is this something you are being called to? As a Benefactor? Or as
a Participant?
“The two most significant days in a person’s life: when he is born;
and when he discovers why.” –Mark Twain
