our story

Xplore Nations Bible College was founded in 2008 by Dr. Russ and Judi Jo Adams in Egypt, born from a vision to train and send leaders into all the world. Since then, it has grown into a global movement with over 40 campuses across the Middle East, the United States, Central America, Africa, the South Pacific, Asia, and Europe.

In 2023, that vision took root in the Pacific Northwest with the launch of Xplore Nations Seattle, established through the partnership of National XPN Directors Dr. Rick and April Fern, Pastors Faaiu and Tracy Faaiu, and Pastors Dan and Mabel Magalei, who now serve as directors of the Seattle campus.

Training Leaders to Impact Nations

At Xplore Nations Seattle, we are committed to more than just teaching theology—we’re training Spirit-filled leaders to influence every sphere of society. Our program is taught by a highly experienced team of local and international ministers, each with a unique grace and gifting. We are honored to host one of the most well-rounded teaching staffs in the world, offering students deep, balanced biblical teaching along with real-world ministry application.

Kingdom Partnerships

We are proud to be partnered with Hilltop City Church in Seattle, where our campus is based, and Rhema Bible Training Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma—continuing a legacy of Spirit-empowered ministry education.
