God is asking who will go and tell the growing Hispanic population that He loves them. Answering that call requires cross-cultural skills. Why study about witness to another culture instead of, well, actually living and learning in another culture? Baptist University of the Américas is uniquely structured so that students face daily challenges of turning cultural barriers into Christian bridges. At $170 per semester hour, BUA tuition is strikingly lower than the average for other private and public universities. It costs a lot to minister in a cross-cultural world—but your training doesn’t have to. Go to the Sallie Mae Education Investment site (https://plan.salliemae.com/) and compare BUA’s typical cost (less than $4,500 per semester) to any other school in the country you are considering. Almost 80% of the fulltime faculty has a doctorate or is working on one—and they teach the classes, not teaching assistants. Additionally BUA’s professors have served as missionaries and/or helped plant churches across the United States as well as in Brazil, Canada, Iceland, Kenya, Mexico, Moldova, Peru, and Ukraine—and that doesn’t count all their evangelism on short term-mission trips
