Keith Fleming currently serves as the Executive and Missions Pastor of Brookside Baptist Church in Brookfield WI. Lord willing, the Flemings will transition mid-year, joining us in the Carolinas. Keith’s background in executive ministry leadership, missions oversight, and business administration will be a great asset to IBL.

Responding to COVID-19

For us at IBL, we have had to cancel several ministry plans; rethink how we can most effectively serve our clients; respond to growing calls for help; faithfully pursue new partnership opportunities; and, like you, address the personal disruptions and stressors that have become part of everyday life. The reality for IBL is that we are busier today than we were at the start of the year. This is a wonderful reality, but one for which we need to continually trust God.

Faithfully Advancing: Update from IBL's President

Faithfully Advancing: Update from IBL's President

We are burdened to make a difference! This is the final sentence of IBL’s vision. And it expresses the sentiment of every IBL team member. We long to see God’s leaders advance in their understanding and practice of biblical leadership. We are excited when we see God’s Word make a difference in a leader’s life and ministry, to see their renewed enthusiasm for the work of the ministry, and to observe the God-glorifying impact on the ministries they lead.

IBL in Kenya: Developing Spiritual Leaders Who Train Others

IBL in Kenya: Developing Spiritual Leaders Who Train Others

We are excited about a new opportunity to expand our impact in the country of Kenya. Having successfully completed an initial five-year training program with Pastor Wilfred Githongo in Kijabe, we are now planning to conduct parallel programs in Kijabe and Nairobi.  This will be a significant expansion of our efforts in Kenya.  It is a step that we are taking deliberately and carefully, being faithfully obedient to the Holy Spirit’s leading and IBL’s vision to “equip and encourage spiritual leaders.”
