IBCM
SINCE 1993
IBCM as the International Brethren Conference on Mission (IBCM) commenced in 1993 and has convened and coordinated global conferences (every 4 years). The work has expanded over the years with the advent of several regional and language based conferences and the development of the Brethren Training Network (BTN) which holds training conferences (every 4 years) and has itself produced regional gatherings of leaders and educators.
HISTORY
IBCM
NETWORK
SINCE 2019
Recognizing that IBCM now needed a legal entity, a UK charity, “IBCM Network,” was registered in March 2019. This now allows the work of volunteers to be supported by the employment of supported staff, to deal realistically with the existing workload and take advantage of future opportunities.
The IBCM Network (International Brethren Churches and Mission Network) is served by a trustee body. The trustees are supported by an International Advisory Group which is globally representative, and the Youth Adivsory Group who is responsible for growing a Youth Network worldwide. The current staff are Dr David Smith as International Director and Sanja Zurovac (Italy) as Administrator/Executive Assistant.
