If “The Koran says…” is not a sufficient reason for us to become Muslim, why should we assume that merely stating “the Bible says…” is enough for someone to believe the Gospel? In a world of competing truth claims, it is necessary to demonstrate what the Bible teaches and why it is trustworthy and true.
Many today reject the authority of Scripture, not because they have examined its claims, but because they do not believe it to be true. In a world saturated with competing ideologies, it is not enough to proclaim what the Bible teaches—we must also be prepared to defend its truth and reliability (1 Peter 3:15 ESV). Effectively spreading the Gospel across cultures requires more than passion; it demands deep theological understanding, rigorous apologetics training, and intentional cross-cultural engagement. Whether you are called to international missions or domestic outreach, being a missionary today means navigating complex worldviews, overcoming cultural resistance, and addressing practical challenges with wisdom and clarity.

Our programs integrate theology, philosophy, and apologetics, equipping you to develop a systematic Christian worldview that strengthens your ability to engage different cultures with biblical truth and allows them to remain steadfast in the truth.
