Founded through Gospel Ministries International, a non-profit organization that operates through extreme faith in God and the sacrifice of its volunteer staff, BIS charges no tuition for its services.

BIS's mission is to train young people to be responsible, diligent, hard-working individuals who love the Creator God with all their hearts and are passionate about sharing that love with everyone around them. With this goal in mind, students regularly participate in outreach and community service projects such as visiting residents at the nursing home, holding free health expos, and building houses for the poor and elderly.
