IBS has been one of the great tool God has used to bring growth in the Albertine Pastorate.

2009 our 1st graduation had 11 grandaunts.

2012 our 2nd graduation had 8 grandaunts.

2012 our 3rd graduation had 15 grandaunts.                    Total 79.

2016 our 4th graduation had 32 grandaunts.

2018 our 5th graduation had 13 grandaunts.

So far, IBS has passed out 79 graduates on certificate level ever since we began the program. 20 pastor are currently undergoing the same training and will graduate in May 2020. One pastor is training for diploma at PTC Mbale.

In our pastorate, we have 79 trained church leaders on certificate level (IBS), 10 pastors on diploma level and 1 pastor with a Bachelor’s Degree in Theology. So this brings us to a total of 89 trained church leaders.

And we would love to add on the number to be bigger than we have for the good of the church of Christ.
