 KING JESUS BIBLE INSTITUTE
King Jesus Bible Institute started in 1990 as a 2 years training program to men and women for the ministry of the Gospel. We started in a small nipa hut church with 9 students and a small hut that students built so they could have a place to live while they were in training. Our students are from many different church organizations. During the early years we were tested financially because many of the students were self supporting and there parents were not Christian and didn't have much money. I thank God for my co-workers who are very determined to continue the vision of training young men and women for ministry.
I thank God for His faithfulness for using Rev. Harold Eberle and Worldcast Ministries for helping us build a bigger building for the school and financial sponsorship of students and staff. We really thank God for Rev. Harold Eberle, who connected us with The King's Community Church and Pastor John Knight in 1997. Since then, we have established a deep friendship and we thank God for their ongoing commitment and support for training young people for the ministry.
Since 1990 we have graduated more than 150 students who are now in ministry throughout the Philippines and some of them are working abroad as missionaries. It is our vision to continue sending missionaries to all the countries of Asia.

A note from Pastor John Knight
In November,1997 I had the blessing to join Harold Eberle on a Missionary trip to King Jesus Bible Institute in the Philippines. Since that time we have had the blessing of supporting and facilitaing the ministry of King Jesus Bible Institute. Over the years we have seen the Holy Spirit move powerfully in Pastors and Leaders Seminars, Youth Camps, Mass Baptisms, Graduations, and Church Visitations. I have had the personal joy of building a friendship with Pastor Eddie Deita and other pastors and leaders. Pastor Eddie is a friend and brother in Christ Jesus.
Over the years we were able to purchase a chain saw to build churches; a jeepney for transporting people to crusades and and other events; a two and a half acre farm for growing rice, tropical fruit and a shrimp pond; the children of the King's Community Church in Spokane were able to raise $1000.00 for pigs in a campaign called "Pennies For The Pigs." We are now in a project to build the King's Community Learning Center and House of Refuge.

MINISTRY BIOGRAPHY
My name is Pastor Eduardo “Eddie” Deita and I am married to my lovely wife, Gloria, “Neneng.” We are blessed with 4 children, Gerson, Cherilyn, Japhet and Joshua. Gerson my eldest son works with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) and also serves with me, side by side, in our ministries.
We are on the Island of Mindanao in Kabasalan, Zamboanga Sibugay where King Jesus Bible Institute is located. God called me here 1982 to Pastor a pioneering church under the King Jesus Christian Fellowship Inc. Pastoring in this pioneering church with my wife and children brought many challenges in our lives spiritually and financially, but praise God for His grace that enables us to continue to fulfill His plan for our ministry.
Since 1982, God has blessed our ministry. I am currently the senior Pastor of the church leading many church workers in different ministries. God has also given me the opportunity to provide apostolic leadership to 60 churches and network ministries of King Jesus Christian Fellowship Inc.
God has also expanded our ministry not only to the local church. We are blessed to operate the King Jesus Bible Institute providing two years of training to young men and women for ministry as well as children ministries, outreach and food for the poor, medical missions, student sponsorship, and operating an orphanage & learning center.
