Missions
“You have the Gospel because missionaries came your way.” – Anonymous
Program Purpose
At the heart of God is the burden for the world to be evangelized. We believe that it is the responsibility of every believer to do his or her part in effectively evangelizing the world. Whether as a missionary church planter, evangelist, pastor, school teacher, or other helps ministry, the missions program at IBC effectively prepares both men and women who are training to be missionaries for the ministry to which God has called them.
