Bethany Global University, originated as the Bethany Fellowship Missionary Training Center in 1945 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.[4] Its founders were five families united by a shared commitment to Christian missionary work and a desire to spread the Gospel. These families sold their possessions and combined their resources to support the formation of a missions-focused organization. Their first headquarters, "Bethany House," was located in a 30-room home in Minneapolis.[4] The name "Bethany" was inspired by the biblical village where Jesus often retreated to pray.
