It was a hot day in Constanța, Romania. Our DTS team was surrounded by protestors advocating for bike lanes in “Old Town.” But we weren’t interested in protesting. We wanted to share God’s love with people. “I have an idea,” my teammate, Summer said. “Why don’t we ask people to tell us what they love about their city?” “Great idea!” …
Our kids’ Bible study was drawing to a close. My two teammates and I had thoroughly enjoyed teaching and interacting with the kids. Yet we did not expect what happened at the end. Our translator approached us with one of the student’s parents. “This man was sitting in the back while you taught,” the translator said. “He’s not a believer. …
I came to Discipleship Training School in Madison expecting a very special 6 months with Jesus. But it surpassed my expectations. I got the great teaching, discipleship and guidance that I knew would be a part of my experience. But these three things really surprised me: Coming into DTS, I expected to have “camp food” on a daily basis. You …
The shortened definition of a missionary is sent one. It describes a believer in Jesus who is going outside of their comfort zone, their familiarity, to a place that doesn’t know God’s love. My husband and I have been in missions more years than I lived under my parents’ roof.

story from Amy, who co-led the BSN/BELT team to Nigeria, Zanzibar and Tanzania. We sat in blue plastic lawn chairs in the front of the concrete church building in Zanzibar, listening intently. Prisca, one of the participants in our Biblical Education and Leadership Training (BELT) seminar, was sharing a testimony from her weekend outreach, and she had everyone’s rapt attention. Prisca and …
by Mary, BSN student The goal of our Bible School for the Nations outreach in Nepal was to equip Nepali Christians to recognize that through God they can transform their families, communities, and country. This was something that I was able to fully grasp when I was given the opportunity to share my own testimony in my teaching on “The Heart …
by Dow “I was very far from faithfulness. The seminar has woken me up,” said one BELT TS2 “Transformation of Character” participant on the graduation day. “I didn’t know how to connect the Bible from beginning to end. I could go to Bible college for years and never get this! What I learned from action and drama has stuck in …
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 …
