Welcome to the Institute's English Training Site!

"Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." Harold R. McAlindon

These training schools in sixteen languages are in use worldwide and are genuinely meant to help you to learn and to teach others. Our training has no walls, no frontiers and never has had any, never will.

The lessons were written by Dr. Les Norman, Th.D., M.Ph. and since 1987 they have been distributed to tens of thousands of students. The lessons are now taught in hundreds of low-cost Schools of Mission in homes and churches across the developing world.

You may see and download any of the modules below or you can take the full diploma level School of Mission program. Be sure to read the students and leaders manual which will answer all your questions and help you make a good start, especially if you would like us to help you start your own School.

Focusing on the Right People

God will guide you as a leader, a global Christian, a pastor-teacher as you pray, but look for enthusiastic, thoroughly converted men and women of all ages and backgrounds who know that God is calling them to serve Him.

Loyalty is worth very much more than education or riches so ask God for people who will become your friends.

Pray for people who will come and share your vision and sufferings, joining you in the work, serving under your supervision.

Say no, or maybe next year, to people that you feel unsure about after prayer. Trust the witness of God’s Spirit to your spirit, He is never wrong.

In 1983, Miguel Diez and his wife prayed, and began to preach to street people in their town in Spain. Drug addicts, prostitutes and criminals were saved and Miguel then taught them these same principles of Discipleship, Evangelism, Serving God, and Kingdom Economics. The new disciples worked to bring in money for their group, witnessing day and night. Today when many Spanish churches still have only 50 members, Miguel has over 35,000 people, with missions in 56 nations.
