Welcome to CISF!
Investing in
Christian Leaders for the Majority World
.

Celebrating
Strategic . . .
Every day, thousands of people place their faith in Jesus Christ. In places such as Africa, Asia, and Latin America the church has multiplied at an amazing rate—far eclipsing its leadership. As the church continues to grow, it needs qualified, trained leaders to help it mature and flourish.
Proven . . .
For nearly 25 years, CISF has identified and empowered some of the brightest and most promising leaders from around the world, enabling them to obtain the relevant graduate education they need to develop the church and its leaders in their own countries.
Making an Impact . . .
More than 150 men and women represent the CISF alumni, serving the global church as seminary and Bible college faculty; denomination leaders; relief organization directors; and as the scholars and leaders who shape the faith by creating desperately-needed books, curriculum, and materials.
“Some organizations invest in projects, but CISF invests in people; more particularly in leaders; more particularly still, in those who will lead tomorrow’s Third World churches. The potential significance of this investment for the world church of the 21st century can hardly be overstressed.” J. I. Packer, Professor of Theology and author of Knowing God.
