STRENGTHENING LEADERS

 INTERNATIONAL TRAINING PROJECT
In many places around the world the gospel has taken root and there are a growing number of churches. However, specifically in majority world countries, local Christians often lack access to pastoral, leadership, and Bible training, that is essential to ensure the growth, maturity, and future of the churches. In a number of countries there is the real threat that government legislation will close churches because pastors and leaders do not hold any form of accredited training. In response to this overwhelming need the Australian College of Christian Studies (ACCS) and IBCM Network have joined together in a commitment

“To provide and facilitate quality contextualised ministry training that is accessible, affordable, and accredited, to the majority world nations in our network.”

STRENGTHENING LEADERS

INTERNATIONAL TRAINING TEAMS
Through sending international teams of teachers and trainers, IBCM Network seeks to connect, encourage, and build up under resourced Christian leaders across the world. In many lands and contexts there exists neither opportunity nor ongoing support to ensure the continual strengthening of the churches that were planted. This leaves those people and churches open to becoming weak, and ineffective. Investing in leaders, specifically the younger, is one of the most effective ways of impacting an entire community for Christ. What is learned is readily passed on to all.

GO-DISCIPLE PROJECT

One of the most common comments we hear from people andchurches around the world is the need for discipleship resources
and training. Evangelism is happening and people are coming to Christ they say, but what is really needed now is discipleship. The
Go-Disciple project is an online and in-print modular series of studies conducted through an actively mentored discipleship program designed to meet this important need. It starts at a basic salvation level and step by step seeks to move each person through to greater maturity in Christian knowledge, character, and ministry skills. The programme is created to be contextually adaptable, able to be used to multiply disciples in all churches.

ENCOURAGING CHURCHES

GO-CARE NETWORK
The church is called to “build itself up in love” (Ephesians 4:16). Yet somehow in the frantic pace of church life the loving care of the heart is often overlooked. The Go-Care Network is designed to create a network of people who can provide essential member care resources, pastoral care help, and soul-care guidance.
