Will You Say Yes?

What would a year fully given to Jesus look like?

A year given to Jesus is never wasted. We've seen what happens when someone says yes. That kind of yes builds something that lasts. People leave with a foundation they didn't have before, and it carries them long after their time in school is over. Into churches, into workplaces, into cities, and into the hidden places no one else sees.

Because a life given to Jesus is never wasted, and His presence has a way of changing everything.

Start Your Yes

Why BSSM

One encounter with God's presence can change everything.

Through Scripture, community, and immersion in His presence, you'll build a foundation that shapes the rest of your life. Our prayer is simple: that you would leave with a heart on fire for Jesus — and remain burning for Him in all the days of your life.

Introduction

You Are Made For Revival

BSSM is designed to be a ministry training center where our students embrace their royal identity, learn the values of the Kingdom and walk in the authority and power of the King. It is a transformational experience and your life will be forever impacted!

What To Expect

The atmosphere of the school is built around the presence of God. An entire culture is lived out day after day with worship as a primary expression. Passion, purity, power and love of the presence of God are center stage.

Our mission is to develop the revivalist God has created you to be. We expect you to grow in the truth, come to love it, deeply enjoy its value to save and transform you, and ultimately, to radically live it.

Your Personal Transformation

Revival Groups

Students are placed into revival groups of approximately 65 students that are led by one of our Revival Group Pastors for the year. Revival Groups meet weekly to build community, discuss and impart core values and activate students in personal revival.

International Cultures

One of our unique strengths is that we host over 60 nations and many diverse cultures and gather to celebrate each other and God, together. Each year hundreds of international students make up over 40% of the student population of BSSM.

How We Live

CULTURE

Revival isn't just what we learn—it's how we live together every single day.

Revival Culture

Revival is not an event—it's a lifestyle. At BSSM, we're building a culture where the presence and power of God is normal, expected, and lived out every single day.

What is Revival?

Revival is when God's presence interrupts the normal rhythm of life and awakens people to His reality. It transforms individuals, families, churches, and nations. But at BSSM, we don't just study revival—we live it.

Living in Revival Culture

You'll experience:

  • Regular times of corporate worship where God's presence is tangible
  • Prophetic activation where students learn to hear God's voice
  • Healing and deliverance as the normal Christian life
  • A community burning for Jesus and committed to transformation
  • Opportunities to activate these gifts in real-world settings

Worship & Presence

Worship is the foundation of everything we do. Multiple times throughout the week, our community gathers to express our love for Jesus and position ourselves to encounter His presence.
