Our Vision




In the early 1900s, missionary William Borden asked, “If you see ten men trying to lift a log, nine of them on the light end and one on the heavy end, where will you step in to help?”  There is 1 pastor for every 250 people in the United States of America, but there is only 1 pastor for every 450,000 people in the rest of the world. Around 80% of the pastors outside of the United States have little or no formal theological education. Consequently, many people in foreign countries do not have access to good Biblical teaching. 

Dr. Harlan Betz believes God is calling him to invest his life helping at the heavy end by teaching and mentoring the “pastors of churches,” the “teachers of teachers,” and the “leaders of leaders.” Dr. Betz wants to reach and teach “everyone” who has a desire to discover the truth and to know Christ and to understand God’s Word. Therefore, in 2017, Dr. Betz stepped away from pastoring a church in the United States and stepped into a role where he could teach and mentor people all over the world! 

Dr Harlan Betz has been on serving as a Bible teacher and as a mentor for the church leasders in Haiti through Christian World Outreach and he has been seerving on staff as a Professor of Bible at STEP Seminary in Port au Prince. That door to Haiti has almost completely closed due to gang activity in the country. Fortunately, God opened a door for Dr Betz to start the “Wisdom from Above” podcast in 2021. This podcast is now the primary way that Dr. Harlan Betz is reaching around the world proclaiming the the love of Christ and the truths of God’s Word. Wisdom from Above is reaching people in over 50 different countries through platforms such as Podbean, Spotify, Apple podcasts, and Google podcasts. There are now over 150 episodes available to everyone everywhere in the world.
