I was impressed by the teaching--each week learning from experts in the field--and the amount of homework offered to really master the material. All this from a Biblical, Christian worldview. I cannot say enough good things about the SOBE course and encourage anyone thinking about taking it to sign up immediately. Hands down this is the most important course I have ever taken."

In fact, He still calls us all in Acts 1:8 to “be witnesses” to the “ends of the earth”.  That includes people like me who love Him and love doing business in His name. This is what the YWAM-Strategic Frontiers Business as Mission (“BAM”) team understands and implements so well.  Through teaching and mentoring aspiring Christ-empowered entrepreneurs and executives, they are creating and growing impactful business opportunities throughout the world. This team introduced me to a whole new world of opportunities where I can effectively and passionately serve through teaching, mentoring, and supporting those who are doing Business as Mission.  I now serve in my local community as well as a number of communities around the globe.   They have encouraged and equipped me to better serve and understand the “least reached” people in the “10/40 Window” – an area that is challenged by severe poverty and the desperate need to hear the Gospel. This BAM team may see my involvement as a partnership, but it’s way more than that – it’s about growing, deepening relationships and seeing God’s work accomplished through transformed lives and communities.  It’s impossible to put the entire experience into words – it’s just that special. If you are looking to make a significant impact in God’s Kingdom work through business, either as an aspiring BAM entrepreneur or executive or as a Partner who is interested in a role like mine, I can tell you that you will be forever impacted by the work God is accomplishing through this team."

Throughout the course of about 3 months, that idea transformed into a fully attainable, concrete business plan that not only has the potential to be profitable, but to further the Kingdom of God as well. The material taught and the support system provided in the SOBE are not something I believe you will find elsewhere. I have already recommended this school to people I know personally and I truly recommend it to anyone who has a business idea they feel the Lord has given them, even if they don't have the experience. I believe the Lord equips us for the things He calls us to and the SOBE is an incredible place to start."

The environment really fit my learning style, and I feel like the format fits with many different learning styles. Watching short videos and then having time to answer questions and discuss the video together help me digest and retain the content more so than I have experienced in other schools. I really feel like this school is so versatile that a lot of the principles that I learned I have applied to more areas of my life than just the business side."
