For pastors, seminarians, and lay leaders — wherever you serve.

A sponsored seat may be waiting for you.

Churches and families around the world sponsor seats at Bible English for pastors, seminarians, and lay leaders who need English for their calling — and cannot afford serious instruction. If that is you, you don't need money. You need to apply.

How it works

Apply. We talk. You join.

Apply

Ten minutes, below

Part of the application is written in English — that's on purpose. It helps us see your level, and mistakes are welcome.

Talk

A short, friendly call

Five minutes on video with Jonathan — to meet each other and make sure the group fits you.

Join

Six weeks, everything included

One live hour per week, six people, weekly reading pack. Your sponsor pays; you bring your Bible and your voice.

One more thing: at the end of the six weeks, we send your sponsor a short report about you, with a few words from you, in English. Sponsored students are prayed for by name in real congregations. You will not be anonymous — you will be someone's answered prayer.

Who should apply

English for your calling.

Pastors and church workers who preach, teach, or serve where English keeps showing up
Seminarians and students of theology reading English textbooks and articles
Lay leaders whose ministry — missions, translation, hospitality, worship — needs English
Intermediate learners: if you can read this page, you are ready to apply
