Because intensive discipleship is a vision for the church, we’ve created an in-depth educational program that provides faith-based equipping and training for life and ministry contexts.
This training is open to all individuals throughout the region, including pastors, laypersons, and church leaders. This training can lead to fulfilling the requirements of IABC.*
