Our Story

Dr. Bruce Wilkinson is a renowned international ministry leader and award-winning author. He founded Teach Every Nation (TEN) in 2013, leveraging his extensive experience in teaching, discipleship, and leadership to provide practical and culturally relevant training for pastors and leaders in the Global South. The Church in the Global South is uniquely positioned as an essential part of fulfilling the calling to take the gospel to ALL nations. Teach Every Nation has already impacted tens of thousands of students in 150 nations, with training provided online and in person at the TEN Campus in South Africa. The wider TEN team is inspired by the global shift of the church from the West to the South and East, and is committed to complementing local churches, denominations, and ministries to achieve unprecedented Great Commission goals – to God’s Glory alone!

Our Mission focus
Teach Every Nation meets the educational needs of untrained pastors and church leaders in the Global South, equipping them to disciple and strengthen their rapidly growing Christian communities. Due to limited finances, lack of transportation, and time constraints, many of these individuals are unable to access formal theological education. TEN’s curriculum is designed to address the specific skills and expertise our students request, with training methods that allow students and pastors to remain within their communities.
Global Calling
At Teach Every Nation, we emphasize the “every” in our mission: teaching every nation to believe and obey the commands of Jesus Christ. With new technology, what once seemed like an impossible dream—reaching every corner of the globe for Christ—is now an achievable goal, and we are fully committed to making it a reality.

Since 2013, TEN has equipped pastors in more than 80 nations to launch BSOW programs in local churches. Some of these leaders become Ambassadors, recruiting more pastors to start BSOW in their congregations. These Ambassadors have inspired hundreds of pastors to become TEN Deans, spreading the reach of our mission even further. Our Ambassadors and Deans are passionate about the Bible, the BSOW curriculum, and the nations they serve. While the Global South remains a key focus due to its fertile ground for discipleship, our mission extends beyond. The Great Commission calls us to make disciples in every nation, and we are steadfast in our pursuit to fulfill this calling.

Transformational Curriculum

We offer culturally relevant and affordable training to pastors, maintaining high educational standards with credit-worthy content from world-class teachers and trainers. Our curriculum focusses on three core elements being Head – Knowledge of the bible and Christian living, Heart – focus on spiritual transformation through the power of Gods word and Hands- improving skill you need for everyday life. TEN’s transformational training program helps churches double membership, plant new churches and disciple new believers.
