ABOUT
SUM is inviting applicants from the US and international locations for the BNTS/SUM Anytime, Anywhere Global Work-Study Scholarship Program. Beginning in the fall of 2020 SUM has sharpened its focus and intensified its commitment to the global Billion Soul Harvest through the Anytime, Anywhere (A-A) program. By leveraging biblical-theological, practical, and contextual expertise SUM had produced a highly effective, accredited, yet greatly affordable Spirit-filled curriculum. SUM’s new online (A-A) format allows students worldwide to receive their theological education on a flexible schedule by providing high-definition engaging videos, downloadable notes with each module, and real-time small group meetings with each of their professors.
In the words of SUM Founder and Chancellor George Neau, “God is raising a fearless generation: a generation committed to carry the message of the Kingdom of God to the ends of the earth. The church is in its finest hour; the flame of the Holy Spirit burns brightly. His servants in the face of adversity declare, ‘…the gates of hell shall not prevail against it!’ (Matt. 16:18).”
The purpose of the study scholarship is to support SUM’s mission of the Billion Soul Harvest by engaging:
- your influence and networks in reaching your nation and local spheres of influence with quality theological education.
