About Us

BEE is an acronym for a world-wide mission called: Biblical Education by Extension. It was founded in 1979 to train pastors and Christian leaders behind the “Iron Curtain” in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, who did not have any way of getting a solid biblical education.

In 1992, after the fall of Iron Curtain, BEE Leadership felt God was calling them to extend BEE Ministry to other parts of the world. Therefore, in 1994 the BEE Board of Directors in the United States, authorized the formation of a new BEE Ministry called “BEE World”, which would embrace the same discipleship strategy, philosophy, and curriculum beyond the borders of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union to countries in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. BEE World expanded its ministry to Asia in 1990, including Myanmar since 1997.

As an interdenominational mission organization, solely focused on Biblical teaching and training, BEE World was able to overcame the problem of the denominational barriers in providing Biblical Education in Myanmar. In 2005 BEE World Appointed Rev. Tom Radigan as its country director and through him God enable many small groups to begin in Myanmar. The transition to BEE Myanmar began as a result of the work a married couple, Edward Han Bo Tun and Hannah Mawi, who had been faithful leaders overseeing BEE World’s ministry in Myanmar. They became convinced of the need for ongoing seminary level Biblical Education in Myanmar that would exceed and broaden what BEE World was able to provide. Therefore, on the 5th day of October 2018 BEE Myanmar was officially formed as an independent mission organization in Myanmar with the blessing and encouragement of BEE World’s founder Dr. Jody Dillow, Dave Semmelbeck (current President), and others on the leadership team from the USA. Now BEE Myanmar is actively providing more courses as part of a curriculum for pastors and Christian leaders seeking advanced biblical education on a seminary level. Our mission is based in Yangon, but continues working throughout our nation including Mandalay, Kachin State, the Northern Shan State in Myanmar, and other cities and regions.
