It is very possible to speak a new language without a distracting accent. An accent occurs when we speak a new language using the sounds of our mother tongue. The Spanish t, for example, is different from our English t in two significant ways. The key is to recognize the sound differences in the new language and begin speaking them exactly like the native speakers from day one.

Advanced Missionary Training begins with Articulatory Phonetics, a linguistic course with extensive instruction and practice in identifying and reproducing all these sounds of human speech.

Our Mission

Report

The purpose of BBTI is to fill a need that exists in the preparation of Baptist missionaries for the foreign field. There are many good Bible colleges and institutes that can aid the churches in teaching and preparing people for the ministry in general. However, we see the missionary as a specialist in need of specialized training and linguistic skills that he cannot get in a traditional Baptist college or institute. Our goal is to prepare the missionary to plant strong, indigenous Baptist churches in any part of the world, whether in the jungle or the city.

History

Report

The idea for a Baptist missionary training school was born as a result of an initial missionary trip into the Tlapaneco Indian area of Guerrero, Mexico, made by Missionary George Anderson and Pastor Paul Henderson. When Brother Anderson tried to live among the Indians and teach them, he discovered that their understanding of Spanish was very limited.

BBTI offers a nine-month training program, starting in August and continuing until the following May. It is our desire that you would benefit from the same missionary training that we have found to be effective in our ministries. It would save you many heartaches and make your missionary career much more fruitful and enjoyable.

From the Director

Report

If you are concerned about the Great Commission of our Lord, then I believe you will appreciate our Advanced Missionary Training for Baptist missionaries. The missionary has a difficult language and culture learning assignment. Failure is not an option. Our intensive, nine-month program is designed to prepare the missionary for success.
