Community & Discipleship

PDF is a diverse, international community centered on Jesus Christ and making Him known. Students will participate and live in a community of students and staff that will challenge and encourage them to grow individually and practice what it means to be part of a body.

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.” Phillipians 2:3-4

Family Groups

Students are assigned to a different staff family group each week. During this time the students and family will have dinner together and either discuss relevant topics or just hang out an have fun together. The purpose of this time is for the students to get a first hand experience of life as a missionary, to experience the unique culture of each family, and to grow in relationship to the staff here at PdF.

1 Year Package

We are offering a one-year package for those students who are looking to grow deeper in their relationship with God while gaining experience in cross-cultural ministry. Our Fall and Spring semesters are purposefully designed to give students the biblical and practical foundation that they need in order to step into ministry. Ministry opportunities will be available for students throughout this one-year program, either on campus or at one of our partner ministries.
*Students do not have to attend both semesters in the same year.

It is recommended that the Fall semester be taken first, followed by the Spring semester.

Student Testimonies

“I really appreciate how PdF is one big family. Everyone is there for each other to support and encourage one another. One thing that my time at bible school taught me is the importance of fellowship. I was challenged to let God lead my relationships with the other students and the staff. Learning to love others more deeply and unconditionally has grown my heart and desire for their Creator even more.”

Abigail - USASpring Mission Bible School 2017

“It amazes me that through three months of frustration and insecurity, there was incredible growth. Bible School was one of the most challenging times I have ever experienced in my life. But God brought me their for that very reason; He took the passion for missions and instead taught me what sustains a missionary: abiding in Christ, through perseverance.”

Rachel Papaleo - USASpring Mission Bible School 2018
