Overview

Mission

Assisting in the operation of church planting, training of nationals for ministry in the area of their calling. The Independent Baptist Mission for Asians is investing in the lives of men and women who have given their lives in full-time missionary work. Through the establishment of Bible colleges and institutes led cooperatively by missionaries within their regions, formal training and education have been taking place in the last 30 years producing hundreds of missionaries, preachers and teachers. At the same time, informal training is being undertaken at the grassroots level within the ministries of local churches. We aim to help make disciples of Christ for generations to come as the God by His grace would allow us. We firmly believe that training the nationals is the fastest and most effective way.
