There are some Bible schools and seminaries available in the Philippines to expatriates who desire to be part-time or full-time students to prepare for overseas missionary service. This will be combined with part-time missions and ministry exposure, with the ministry experience developed on a case-to-case basis dependent on one’s gifting, passion, and focus. In most cases it will include working in a local church. This is best served for those who are pursuing becoming a missionary but still 1) need to meet some educational/theological requirements, 2) desire missionary exposure and experience while getting their education, and 3) aspire to not have a huge educational debt upon the completion of their studies. All teaching is done in English.

WORKING ENVIRONMENT:
If in Bible college, it is possible one could live in a dormitory situation or other living conditions nearby, with most of the other students being Filipino. If in seminary, very likely there will be many international students who have come to the Philippines for their education and will be returning to their homeland upon completion. Ability to relate and get along with many nationalities will be important.
