About International Legacy Institute
The mission of LEGACY is to create a global awareness for the need for Christian Apologetics and Discipleship as well as to offer “training excellence” to underprivileged global-regions via distribution of the essentials of the Christian Faith to Para-Church Ministries, Universities, Nationals & Missionaries, Local Church and Small Group Partnerships!
Fanning into flame the gifts of God by teaching, training and discipling the Christian world -2 Tim. 1:6
The International Legacy Institute is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, Para-church organization that exists to reach the world with the message, love and truth of Jesus Christ.
Ministry Teaching Pillars:
-Essential Theology: Essentials of the Faith -Apologetic Training: Accurate Worldview -Critical Discipleship: Personal Growth
The International Legacy Institute’s aspires to respond to the overwhelming deficit of global-essential training with the hope to strengthen the Universal Christian Church both current and next generation! Consider these random sample quotes to reveal the need for LEGACY:
The Generational Need for Legacy:
Judges 2:7-14, “The people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders … (10) … and there arose another generation after them who did not know the LORD, . . . (14) … The anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He gave them into the hands of plunderers who plundered them; and He sold them into the hands of their enemies around them ….”
“Let me control the textbooks, and I will control the state.” He stated: “When an opponent declares, ‘I will not come over to your side,’ I calmly say, ‘Your child belongs to us already.... What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp.”- Hitler
Why International:
“Ralph Winters, the founding director of the U.S. Center for World Mission, estimates that there are at least two million functioning pastors outside of North America who do not have access to biblical and theological education.” -Citation from Third Millennium Ministries
Why Institute & Essential Training:
“… to refute those who contradict.” - Titus 1:9
“… only half of the country’s (U.S) Protestant pastors – 51% have a biblical worldview.” - citation from www.barna.org
“… just 9% of all born again adults and just 7% of Protestants possess a biblical worldview.” – ibid.
“As a missionary, I was trying to spread the gospel in Europe when someone asked me "How do you know God exists and that the Bible came from Him"? I was stumped. Not knowing why I believe what I believe actually shut my mouth - do you know what a horrible thing it is to be a missionary and not be able to talk?” - Former Mercy Ship Missionary
“The statistic is staggering: As many as 50 percent of Christian students say they have lost their faith after four years in college.” - Book: University of Destruction: David Wheaton
Considering the above and factoring in the believers that Pastor’s and missionaries disciple, we can easily conclude that the number of global untrained Christians is exponentially at epidemic proportions.
