by Ben V., DTS student Tiraspol, Transnistria Transnistria is an interesting place to be. It is an unrecognized former-Soviet country with high rates of crime, poverty and alcoholism.

Transformation Seminar in Nepal
by Elizabeth J., BSN student Our first week of teaching in Nepal was filled with laughter at our attempts to speak Nepali, and cups of steaming chai and dry rusks during “tea break.” We enjoy learning from the Nepali students when class is over — they’ve taught us some great dance moves. 😉 During our teaching we overviewed foundations for …
Praying in the Suicide Forest
by Abi H., Bible School for the Nations student In the breathtaking photos of Mt. Fuji, the shadow at the foot of the mountain is a forest.

Learning a Valuable Lesson in Japan
We came to Japan to tell people that they are valuable because they are created in the image of God and loved by him!

From the Head to the Heart – What I’m Learning at Bible School
written by Lindsay, Bible School for the Nations student Though I hate to admit it, I have always thought that God should be more good than He actually is.

Opening our minds to God
by Ben, BSN student Sunday night we began a seminar on “Identity in Christ.” At the end of our time my teammate, Mark, and I began talking with a man who had come to the seminar. “I’m not a Christian,” the man said, “but I heard American Christians were coming and I wanted to see what you had to say.” Knowing …
My Impossible Journey from Tanzania to America & Back Again — Elisante’s Bible School Testimony
To be in the BSN and learn has been the greatest experience ever! God is giving me a lot of understanding of His word and His plan for mankind. He’s showing me that He wants the Bible to be understood. He is opening my eyes to the truth.
