Welcome to ISOM Online

What brought you here? Maybe you want to understand your faith more fully, be better prepared to serve, or simply keep learning.

ISOM is a Bible college here to prepare you for Christian ministry through theological education, biblical studies, and practical ministry training. Study when it fits your schedule and wherever you are, so your studies can fit around family, work, and church.

Jesus commanded His disciples to teach others to observe what He commanded. ISOM is here to help with that teaching—helping you know what Jesus said, understand what it means, and put it into practice.

Kevin Ward

Kevin Ward currently pastors the Potter’s Wheel Church in Swaziland’s capital city of Mbabane. He currently serves as Executive Director of Challenge Ministries Swaziland. He sits as Chairman of the board of Bulembu Ministries, Swaziland. In recent years he also held the position of Chairman of the Board of Standard Bank, Swaziland. He holds a degree from Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, North Carolina.

Course Description

32% of the population of Swaziland is infected with HIV/AIDS, the highest prevalence in the world. This has created a national crisis where many thousands of children have been orphaned, and only 22% grow up with their families. The small northwestern town of Bulembu, once a ghost town, is now a self-sustaining entity that combines sustainable, innovative enterprises with orphan care for 2,000 (currently at about 400) of Swaziland’s most vulnerable children. The two-pronged approach of coupling community enterprise with community care is what presently drives Bulembu Ministries Swaziland, who owns and runs the town. In this session, Ward shares how God worked in his life to bring about the Bulembu Vision and what this vision means in the larger picture of what God is doing throughout Swaziland and the world.
