Purpose

    BEE World is:


  • Committed to Training Leaders in Restricted-access Countries: In numerous countries in the world the Church is denied the opportunity to train present and future leaders. BEE's commitment is to provide the training they need.

  • Committed to Church-based Training: Training takes place in the context of the local church while each student maintains their ministry in their local church.

  • Committed to Extension Education: BEE takes the training to the student. Students do not need to leave their family, local church or natural sphere of influence.

  • Committed to Training All Needed Church Leaders: BEE seeks to equip pastors, evangelists, teachers, church planters, deacons and elders.

  • Committed to Networking: BEE realizes that they can not meet all the needs in restricted-access countries alone and actively seek to network with other missions and existing ministries.

  • Committed to Indigenization: BEE assists the national in directing, funding and staffing their own training, now and for the future.

  • Committed to Multiplication: BEE encourages their students to mulitiply themselves by teaching others as soon as they have completed the first two courses, utilizing a curriculum that they can easily transfer to others (II Timothy 2:2).
