INTERNATIONAL BIBLE COLLEGE OF MINISTRIES (IBCOMS)

The Training Arm of The Sword of the Spirit Ministries

HISTORY:

The International Bible College of Ministries (IBCOM) was formally established in May 1990 as the training arm of Sword of the Spirit Ministries (SOTSM).
This was as a result of a prophetic instruction of the Lord given to the Pioneer president, Rt. Rev. (Dr.) Francis Wale Oke.

Christened IBCOM, the motto was “Evangelism and church growth.”  The foundation class took the Postgraduate Diploma Course in Biblical Theology and graduated ninety students in 1991.  The following years, other courses were added to the course of study for ministerial programmes in:

Biblical Theology:

  • PASTORAL MINISTRY – Certificate /Diploma / Post Graduate Diploma
  • ITINERANT MINISTRY – Diploma / Certificate /Post Graduate Diploma
  • CROSS CULTURAL MISSIONS – Certificate /Diploma / Post Graduate Diploma – Cross Cultural Missions

To enhance leadership training for church growth, short-term courses such as “Operation Joshua”; “Intercessor 2000”; “The Joshua Generation” were added to the curriculum. Other capacity-building programmes were held regularly.  This includes “Advanced Ministers’ Seminar”, a monthly whole-day ministers’ seminar that has been of tremendous blessing to the church of the living God over the years.  Graduates of International Bible College of Ministries (IBCOM), who are scattered all over the world, are being used by God to advance the gospel of Christ.

Many churches have been planted as a result of the direct operations of IBCOM.

While the main campus of the College is located in Ibadan, the headquarter base of the Sword of the Spirit Ministries, mini-campuses were established in Abuja, Lagos and Osogbo, London, the Atlanta GA, USA before the re-organization of the college.  With the reorganization, we hope to see International Bible College of Ministries’ satellite campuses spring up all over the world, more end-time harvesters of souls produced and thousands of churches planted worldwide for the glory of God.
