Topics: Christian education of church leadership

Description

The International School of Missions exists to glorify God by training and equipping pastors, evangelists, missionaries and teachers in order to develop leaders who are able to teach others and fulfill the Great Commission in Africa and around the world.

The International School of Missions (ISM) has students from many different countries, many of whom are pastoring churches with no Biblical training. Because of ISM, they can receive the training necessary to deliver Biblically accurate teaching to their churches. They attend two classes each morning, then one in the afternoon. This leaves time for them to take care of their other responsibilities, as many have other jobs or pastoral duties to attend to.

ISM develops the abilities of its students to understand and properly interpret God’s Word. It also strives to develop their Christian character and relationship skills. The curriculum ISM uses to accomplish these goals includes concentrated study of the books of the Bible, theology, ministry strategies, preaching techniques, Godly personal development, evangelistic skills, mission strategies and language skills.
