When it comes to reaching the world with the gospel, few investments are as powerful as training the next generation of missionaries. If you’re searching for a Bible college for missions that takes the Great Commission seriously, look no further than Providence Baptist College. With a strong foundation in biblical truth and a deep burden for world evangelism, PBC is preparing young people—like our own Gilbert Consford—for a lifetime of service on the mission field.
Why Choose a Bible College for Missions?
In a world full of secular education and watered-down theology, it’s more important than ever to train missionaries in a place that still believes in the authority of the Word of God and the urgency of global evangelism. A Bible college for missions isn’t just another academic institution. It’s a launching pad for lives dedicated to reaching the lost.
At PBC, missions isn’t a minor—it’s a mandate. Students learn doctrine, practical ministry, and cross-cultural communication in an environment that is both spiritually vibrant and academically sound. Providence Baptist College doesn’t just talk about missions—it lives it, breathes it, and sends out its students to do it.
Gilbert’s Journey to the Mission Field
We’re excited to share that Gilbert, our oldest son, is currently attending Providence Baptist College to prepare for the mission field. From a young age, Gilbert has felt God’s call on his life to go where others won’t, preach what others don’t, and shine the light of Christ in spiritually dark places.
Now at PBC, he’s learning from experienced pastors, missionaries, and educators who know what it means to labor on the front lines of gospel ministry. Whether he ends up in Africa, Asia, or somewhere in between, the preparation he’s receiving at Providence will help him hit the ground running—and stay there faithfully.
We invite you to read more about our family’s heart for missions on our About Page. We’re not just sending Gilbert—we’re going with him in prayer, support, and encouragement.
