If you ever know a young person or couple who want to go into missions, this is the training place. It is fairly new, since about 2014 I think. But it was started by David Jeremiah, Mark Dever, Chad Vegas, Brooks and Brad Buser (each spent 25 years on the mission field.)

My daughter went there. It's 11 months of intense classroom, and field training. They learn a language, they get out into the community (They're required to, weekly). They learn language acquisition skills. It changed my daughter's life, and it prepared her and her husband for their work in Central Africa to an Unengaged people group.
The program required them to extremely servant oriented and disciplined. E.G. They all had to rise at 5:30, married or not, man and woman, even pregnant ones, and do cross fit workouts. They had to find language helpers in the community. They were not allowed cell phones, or internet access other than to send emails once a week.
If you want to see what they're about, there is this:
