35 Years of Side-by-Side guidance for ministry leaders
Nguyen Thanh Tan, Pastor
An Underground Church in Vietnam
"I'm so grateful to your labor for equipping us with this Pastoral Training Curriculum. You not only teach us biblical doctrines, principles, and ministerial skills but also set before us good examples of a should-be Christian worker."
Eddie Coakley, Senior Pastor
Trinity Baptist Church Cayce
"From coaching our staff to one-on-one mentoring, IBL has consistently helped me grow as a leader and as a disciple. IBL’s strength is that they understand that discipleship is about relationships."
John Monroe, Senior Pastor
Faith Baptist Church, Taylors, SC
"What a blessing to experience a ministry focused on leadership that is Biblically-centered... The entire process challenged us and changed us—both corporately and individually. The fruit of IBL's labor among us will be experienced for years to come."
Church Planting Couple
"Our time at IBL was needed, long-overdue, difficult, and liberating. I attest to IBL’s competency, biblical character, and godliness. The IBL team is... gentle and Christ-like. We are very appreciative that God has brought them into our life."
Mr. Charles Stewart, Director
Mission Housing Ministries Consulting
"I am thankful to the IBL team for their sacrificial gift of time, talent, and resources to partner with MHM and FTE in building an effective, biblically based teaching ministry for the Church of the central and northern highlands of Guatemala to the Glory of God."
Ministry Leadership Couple
"I came to IBL desperately needing help... I had become deceived & blinded to the harm of my most important relationship: my wife. God used [IBL's] Biblically-centered process combined with the patience, flexibility and steadfast love of the IBL counselors to bring great insight, corrective adjustments and ultimately a wonderful restorative work in my marriage."
