DiscipleshipIntern Program
There is no better school or program in
the world that will better prepare a young
man for ministry. As an IDP student, I
was personally discipled and given many
ministry opportunities IDP gave me a three-
to-five-year head start in my ministry.
- ChrIs FInChum
IDP built my ministry and leadership skills. I
was discipled by a godly, experienced man
who poured himself into every aspect of
my life. The Bible Institute was awesome,
but IDP takes your ministry to the next level.
- Josh Ely, FlorIDA
Reaching Youth with the Gospel of Christ
Coming into IDP, I knew what God
wanted me to do but didn’t feel ready
to step out and do it. Three years
later, I’m out doing what I’m passionate
about while my peers are just starting
seminary.- BrAnDon CollIns, ohIo
