Purpose [ Back to top ]

    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).

Ministry Statement or Response [ Back to top ]

This organization has not offered MinistryWatch.com with an official statement or response for their profile. This area is meant as a mechanism for the profiled ministry to communicate anything they may choose. It is open ended as to the topic, issues, facts or news to address. It is not negative if there is no official statement as many don’t have anything to add than what is already on the profile. This section is not tied to transparency or to communication in general. Many very open and talkative ministries with us choose not to post an official statement. This section is just an open ended offering to the profiled ministry for anything extra to say as they may choose.
