International students
Faith. Risk. Adventure.
Be among the international students who study alongside our Burmese students in the jungle. We only accept a very small number each year (~5% of the student body).
A year of discipleship in the jungle
Are you comfortable being uncomfortable? Are you a Christian who wants to go deeper? Interested in a future in missions or cross-cultural work?

FAQs
How much does it cost?
Tuition covers food, lodging, and materials for the full 9 months. Exact figures released with each cohort.
Is it safe?
We take security seriously with strict protocols and local guides. This is a real war-adjacent context — discernment required.
Daily life?
Days start with worship, then Bible study, practical skills, and missions.
Food & gear?
Simple nourishing meals with local ingredients. Bring sturdy shoes, modest clothing, and jungle essentials.
Family connection?
Limited internet — expect occasional updates to loved ones, not constant connectivity.
Who is this for?
Followers of Jesus ready for immersion with Burmese peers — not a tourist trek.
