BIEM is a religious organization focused on evangelistic outreach and the spread of Christian teaching. Founded in 1981 by Dr. Peter Slobodian, a Ukrainian-born missionary, the ministry proclaims the Gospel and calls people to repentance and new life while pursuing influence across nations. A distinctive aspect of BIEM's approach is to place national believers at the forefront of its work, aiming to minimize American leadership in daily operations. Operating within the religious institutions sector, BIEM seeks to advance what it interprets as God’s Kingdom through international outreach. Headquartered in Danville, Indiana, the organization is described as mid-sized. Its work emphasizes locally led mission activity, relying on national leaders to guide outreach and partner communities. In February 2022, BIEM issued statements related to events in Ukraine in the context of the Russian invasion, reflecting a response to developments in the region.
