The Institute has equipped men and women who are now leading in more than twenty countries. The annual two-week training, held in Carrollton, Georgia, provides the foundation for accelerating the multiplication process of taking the Gospel to every person, in every culture, in every nation. Mt. Bethel supports this program through annual scholarships for training and financial support for the International Directors, Wes and Joy Griffin.
