Meet the need of the worlD
 

The first three weeks are spent in training and developing teaching at our campus just north of Rosarito, Mexico. The next two months are spent on outreach in teams focused on Bible teaching, and the final week is spent in debriefing.

We don't call our program participants “students”, but rather we see them as co-teachers who work along side us. During the three week training phase, participants learn how to prepare, present, and illustrate Bible teachings. Each participant will teach and be evaluated four times during their training, and on outreach, team-mates will evaluate each other for continued growth.

We aim for each participant to teach between six and twelve hours each week. Many places in the world are hungry for Bible teaching and we desire to see School of Biblical Studies graduates do their part to meet that need.

Disciple a new generation of believers

The global church is suffering from a lack Bible knowledge. Despite Christianity’s explosive growth, the church in the developing world often lacks trained bible teachers. To date, there is one formally trained church leader for every 450,000 people outside of the U.S.  Some say that 85% of pastors worldwide have had no formal training. That means that most of the 77,000 people coming to Christ daily don't have qualified leaders to disciple them. Our aim is to meet this need by sending Bible teachers to disciple a new generation of believers who are grounded in Biblical truth!

As part of our curriculum, we read and discuss four books. We also have times of worship and intercession with the entire base and the School of Biblical Studies. Outreach teams also meet together to pray, prepare, and write a research paper on their outreach location.
