International School of Missions
ABOUT
The International School of Missions equips and empowers Christ-like leaders making them agents of transformation in Africa.
We launched ISM in 2005, and offer a certificate, diploma, and degree in Bible and Missions. We have admitted more than 100 pastors. Currently, we have 12 students from the Republic of Congo, South Sudan, Republic of Rwanda and Uganda. The great majority of our students fail to raise their school fees and other schooling expenses.
A total of 80% of churches in Uganda are prosperity gospel. Many Ugandans start a church without any Bible knowledge or ministry skills. The majority of these uneducated pastors follow the prosperity gospel teaching.
In 2017, the government of Uganda through the General Commissioner of prisons authorized the International School of Missions to train prisoners and conduct Sunday services in prisons. Uganda has 256 prisons. Currently, we are in Kauga prison in Mukono District.
Kauga prison is a small prison with a population of 350 inmates. We offer a three-month Portable Bible School and at the end, we offer inmates a certificate of participation. So far, a total of 320 inmates have given their lives to Jesus.
VISION
Equip and empower Christ-like leaders making them agents of transformation in Africa
MISSION
Glorify God by responding to the Great Commission
STRATEGY
Work in partnership with churches and organizations that obey and serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
OBJECTIVES OF THE SCHOOL
1. To provide excellent Bible knowledge, ministry skills, Leadership and Community Development
2. To educate and train students in a holistic environment that fosters and nurtures godly aspirations
3. To transform men and women into Christ-like who are able to serve Kingdom Communities in Africa
STATEMENT OF FAITH
We maintain a strong stand on the cardinal truths of the Bible:
1. The Bible: we believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, wholly without error and sufficient as our only infallible rule for the daily living of our faith.
2. God: we believe in the one true God, eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, each of whom possesses equally all the attributes of deity.
3. Jesus Christ: Jesus Christ is God, the Savior from sin. He died on the cross to remove our sins, was buried and rose again for our justification. Apart from Jesus, there is no salvation. The righteousness of Jesus is imputed to the believer by grace through faith.
4. The Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is God, the seal of our salvation, and our constant indwelling helper and guide.
5. Sin: Man was originally created in the image of God. He sinned by disobeying God and now is born in sin and worthy of death and separation from God.
6. Future: we believe that Jesus will come again to the earth, personally, visibly and bodily, to consummate the history of the world.
7. Eternity: we believe that ultimately, the eternal plan of God is for men to glorify Him eternally in heaven.
8. Mission: the Lord Jesus Christ commanded all believers to proclaim the Gospel throughout the world and to disciple men of every nation.
