Our online bachelor's degrees are affordable and accessible when pastors once considered it impossible to get the education they urgently need.

People ask us what changes if someone sponsors a scholarship for a student serving in a developing nation.  Quite honestly, it is not an understatement to say that your sponsorship could actually be what keeps the doors of a church open, and give a pastor the legal right to continue pastoring in his country.

In Pastor Geofrey's situation, legislation is pending to require pastors to have bachelor's degrees or their churches will be closed.  As Pastor Geofrey explains, rural pastors in Uganda can't afford to go to college, and they can't afford to be away from their churches and families.  The Fully Equipped Bible Institute is an answer to their prayers!

He described the opportunities at the Fully Equipped Bible Institute as a possible path forward for these young men and women who are eager to continue to grow in faith and be fully equipped for Kingdom service.

Persecution is growing in Uganda from radical Islamic groups.The goverment in Uganda intends to increase regulatory controls over pastors and churches. Dr. Steve is on the ground now in Uganda, meeting with pastors and Christian leaders. Please pray for his ministry time while in country.
