ITEN
— About ITEN—
ITEN’S MISSION IS TO PROVIDE PARTNERSHIP FOR THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AMONG THOSE WITH THE LEAST ACCESS TO THE GOSPEL.
- We are a dispersed team of theological trainers.
- We partner with national leaders.
- We go where we are invited.
- We train pastors and church-planters among those where Jesus is unknown or misunderstood.
- We entrust our training to national leaders who take it further and deeper.
WHAT WE DO
ITEN personnel only go where we’re invited by local, national believers. Our purpose is to come alongside local believers in hard-to-reach places of our world, where there is little access to biblical and theological training. Missionaries from the outside simply can’t access all the unreached peoples of the world; and increasingly, formerly unreached peoples are finding new life in Jesus. As these communities of believers grow, they discover a need for further understanding. ITEN collaborates with local leaders to help train pastors and church-planters, seeking to guide their people in deeper, transformative biblical truth through a Christ-centric lens. We count it a great privilege to be in partnership with the global church.
GLOBAL PARTNERS
ITEN is currently ministering in a number of areas of the world through a myriad of partnerships, site developments, projects, and resources. While ITEN supports indigenous leaders directly by providing theological education, we also assist training centers with faculty development, curriculum reform, accreditation, networking, and resource sharing.
