AMAZON BIBLE INSTITUTE
|
According to stats 75% of the world’s Christians live in Africa, Asia, and South America. 85% of the 2.2 million evangelical churches worldwide are led by pastors with no theological training, and 60% of the world’s population are oral learners.
In Iquitos, the statistics on pastoral training are not any different. The majority of pastors and church leaders have attended 3 days conferences on different topics however, they have never been trained and discipled in a multi-year Institute. Due to these reasons the church in Iquitos and the Amazon region is stagnant and not growing; having very little impact. February 25th, 2020 IAM will launch Instituto Biblico Amazonico in partnership with World Hope Ministries International to equip the next generation of Gospel ministers. |

Indigenous Pastor Training
In 2016 IAM began a partnership with the Cocama Project to train pastors in the Maranon, Amazon and Tigre rivers region. Using IAM’s material of Chronological storying and the Cocama Projects relationships with the pastors of this region we are seeing a tremendous response from the pastors as they are equipped in a culturally contextual way to reach their people. If you would like to help support these pastors to be trained you can do so through the Cocama Project by clicking on the following link or by contacting Sam Nicholson through his email sam@cocamaproject.org
