Walk with us
It is good not to walk alone! We enjoy and deeply appreciate the company of many of you who walk with us. Some walk as supporters, helping to carry forward the vision for IBI through prayer and financial support. We are grateful that the Lord has placed us on your heart and that you have responded by journeying with us in this way. Others walk with us for a time as students. Several will finish their courses in May and our paths will diverge. As they depart, we are now meeting new students who are following a ‘call’ to begin a journey with us.  Further Detail
