We Are Baptists And We are For Israel
We started bringing students to Israel in 1974, but our compassion and concern for Israel has deep roots in Scripture. God promised Abraham in Genesis 12:2-3 that He would bless His people and the world through them.
2 "And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."
Genesis 12:2-3 KJV
We are committed to encouraging students to grow in their love for the land & people of Israel through education and experience.
Baptists for Israel Institute (BII) is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 independent Baptist organization. Since its founding, our program began as a summer volunteer/internship, but since then has expanded into a study program as well. The school offers a nine-month internship program for undergraduate and master’s students, and a summer internship program. Our students study and work as volunteers right on a kibbutz beside the Sea of Galilee. We offer two-week study seminar trips at various times throughout the year. These seminars are for anyone who desires to know more about the land of Israel, its people and the Bible.
