We are encouraged by your desire to further the kingdom of God and your willingness to be equipped for this great work.  We appreciate your consideration of Biblical School of World Evangelism as a contributor to your ministry training.

What is Biblical School of World Evangelism?  BSWE is an education ministry of First Baptist Church (Milford, Ohio) which exists to educate and train missionaries, pastors, laymen, and churches for their respective roles in obeying the Great Commission.  BSWE is inherently missions-focused because it is the expression of a church and pastor who are passionate about pursuing God's fame throughout the world among ALL PEOPLES.   We find our identity and fulfill our destiny only as we contribute to God's purpose.  This is who we are.

At BSWE, missions is part of our spiritual "DNA."  We are a missionary training center.  We major in missions.  We believe the Bible and missions are one.  We believe that missions is God's idea; and therefore, the missionary purpose of God is found throughout the entire Bible.  We believe that God has been doing missions for a long time.  A missionary-making theology permeates all our efforts.  It's our foundation.  First, the Bible is absolutely God's Word.  It is where we turn for the bottom line.  Second, God is Sovereign and has no competitors.  He knows about it; He caused it; and He has a reason for it.  And third, everything is for God.  God's glory is the ultimate priority.  These are our three "friends."  This is how we describe what "makes us tick."

We are structured to "make" missionaries and missions-hearted ministry leaders.  We are primarily a resident college offering both semester and modular courses.  We employ active, veteran missionaries in modular courses and require missionary students to participate in a one-year internship on the field as an integral part of their training.  We practice academic excellence but also offer practical essentials like prayer, spiritual warfare, fasting, and pre-field training (deputation).  We have hands-on classes.  We call them "action classes" (the street is the classroom) in which students gain experience through witnessing to Muslims, Jews, atheists, and others.  We have a personal touch.  Our ministry leaders and college faculty seek to provide relational mentoring with each student in an attempt to maximize his/her personal and professional growth.
