Equipping the Latin American Church: Many pastors and church leaders in developing nations have not had the opportunity to receive more than a grade school or high school education and face many obstacles that stand in the way of deepening their theological preparation. The passion of IBAC is to equip them with high-level, biblically faithful education and ministry training. IBAC develops relationships with groups of pastors and leaders in a given region and offers to provide training regardless of denominational or theological affiliation. The training is provided via a series of weeklong sessions, held twice a year in each location. The series of 15 biannual trainings usually lasts 7-8 years.
IBAC uses a bilingual curriculum designed by our founder, Dr Jim Wilson, in the early 2000s. However, the material periodically evolves to communicate more clearly and effectively.
A number of values have guided
the creation and revision of the curriculum:
Biblical faithfulness and theological accuracy
Cultural neutrality
Reproducibility in a variety of contexts
Flexibility in methods of delivery
Challenging content
