Romans 15:20
“And thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named…” — Romans 15:20
Why BASE Exists
BASE is a foundation — a place of preparation, a launching point for the mission ahead. 1520 is Romans 15:20: the ambition to carry the Gospel where it hasn’t gone. Put together, that’s the whole company: we exist to help believers fulfill the Great Commission.
Pastors, missionaries, and the men who back them are ministry athletes — carrying athletic-level demands with no off-season and, until now, no training infrastructure. We train the whole person — body, mind, and spirit — with the same discipline and intensity as warriors preparing for battle. Because the mission deserves a vessel that holds up.
Be Fit. Be Faithful. Be Fearless.
Body
Strength, capacity, sleep, and fuel — expert-built programming that makes you deployable, from your first workout to mission-field readiness.
Mind
Resilience forged through hard things: rucks in the dark, cold mornings, disciplines kept. Mental toughness is trained, not wished for.
Spirit
Everything anchored in Scripture and pointed at the Great Commission. Fitness is stewardship — the body is for the mission, not the mirror.
