International School of Ministry Training Courses

"ISOM"

The International School of Ministry (ISOM) is a discipleship and leadership training tool produced by Good Shepherd Ministries International. Over the past decade, ISOM has become the world's largest video Bible school. It is designed with the primary objective of enabling local pastors around the globe to turn their churches into ministry training centers.

The strength of ISOM is its faculty. A few of the better known names who teach on the ISOM include: Jack Hayford, Joyce Meyer, John Bevere, T.L. Osborn, Reinhard Bonnke, A.R. Bernard, Ray Comfort, Marilyn Hickey, Willie George, and Brian Houston.

The ISOM consists of high quality video teachings recorded specifically for the ISOM project. These were captured from dynamic, wisdom-filled ministers, who impart their life messages from a position of under-standing and experience. Some of the world's most respected teachers were chosen to participate. The main criteria used for requesting a teacher's involvement were integrity, passion, anointing, sound doctrine, ministry fruitfulness, and global vision.

The ISOM is an international tool. It currently consists of 160 sessions of video curriculum; student workbooks that match the video lessons are available. A key aim of ISOM is to provide training in the mother tongue of each nation. Because of the unique bilingual format of the ISOM recordings (English and the live interpreted language), the material is able to be easily translated and is now available in over 70 of the world's major languages. From Mandarin Chinese to Peruvian Quechua, ISOM can span the globe with uniformity and cultural sensitivity.Locations of ISOM schools span the spectrum from US based mega-churches to refugee camps in Africa. ISOM is truly a global equipping tool.
