| In 1981, Pastor Jay Francis of Rock Road Chapel in Berne, New York received a God-given burden to train believers for the harvest and the develop mission schools to �train nationals to touch nationals.� For years, he carried this word in his heart and prayers. Before the end of 1991, the Lord moved in the hearts of others, and they too embraced the vision. This was the beginning of International Accelerated Missions (IAM). The first IAM Headquarters Office was housed in Our Savior�s Lutheran Church in Colonie, New York. A short-term training course was first held in January 1992 with 12 students. Upon graduation in February, they traveled as a team for a brief mission in Jamaica. A powerful prayer meeting was birthed upon their return. "IAM Missionaries" started to be launched out across the world spreading the Gospel in many capacities to help �Nationals reach Nationals.� Within one year, many "IAM Schools" were established into the nations. The training materials are currently being used in hundreds of IAM training schools around the globe to include such countries as Jamaica, Uganda, Haiti, the Philippines, Cuba, India, Nigeria, Bolivia, Nepal, Panama, the Dominican Republic, and more. There are countless graduates trained in evangelism, teaching, and works of mercy. Even more importantly, they have grown in love with God, through prayer and worship. Revival has broken out in many areas and transformations of several communities have been recorded as a result of the ministry of IAM students! IAM seeks to impart a vision for the students to reach the unreached. Within several years of the inception of International Accelerated Missions, IAM felt a burden to expand the ministry to provide works of mercy. IAM supported several small projects such as the beginning of a chicken farm to provide protein to those in Africa, and providing trades items for training believers as a means of financial increase in Haiti. |
