We train church planters to start multiplying churches in
their local community. For most people in Latin America the idea of going to a
seminary or Bible College is simply overwhelming. There are many factors that
affect this decision: distance of travel, price, time, convenience, etc. In
order to best respond to these factors, ICP starts local training centers. At
each Training Center, church planters are trained to plant reproducing and
multiplying churches through a balanced Biblical curriculum.
We bring the
church planters together on a regular basis (mostly in rural, village
locations), for two years of training. Each and every student must start a new
church during the 17-course curriculum. Without planting a new church, a
student cannot graduate. These new churches meet in buildings, houses, under
trees, etc. The average church size begins with around 15 new believers (though many
grow much larger) in mostly rural and un-evangelized areas.
