Learn English for
a Greater Purpose

At SOLTI, you’ll learn more than English. You’ll learn to speak about Jesus in simple words and share the gospel at your own level.
  • Practice English in class and throughout daily life
  • Grow in your love for Jesus and His mission
  • Learn to share the gospel in simple English
English Matters  

English is spoken around the world, often between people who do not share the same first language. It can help you build relationships across cultures, work with other believers, and share the gospel with people you might not otherwise reach.

English also gives you access to a wider range of Bible study materials, ministry training resources, and Ellen G. White writings. Learning English can help you study more deeply, participate in international training, and read Spirit of Prophecy writings in their original language.

Throughout history, missionaries have learned new languages and adapted to different cultures to reach people for Christ. In the same way, English can be a practical tool for overcoming language barriers and serving wherever God leads.

People around the world speak English to some level —nearly one-third of the world’s population.
