Welcome to International Mission Foundation School
We are a non-profit mission school located in Southern Brazil, dedicated to forming disciples who are deeply rooted in Christ and His Word. We believe the missionary calling begins in the heart and manifests itself in every area of life—from personal devotion to active service in God's kingdom.
Our purpose is to equip disciples with solid faith, mature identity, and an active love for God and for people. Through intensive biblical training and real-world mission experience, we prepare leaders who will carry the gospel to the ends of the earth with courage, compassion, and conviction.
About Us
Our Beliefs
One God in Trinity
We believe in one eternal God who reveals Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—Creator of all things and sovereign over heaven and earth.
Jesus Christ Our Savior
We believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, fully God and fully man, who died for our sins and rose again as our Savior and Lord.
Scripture as Authority
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and the ultimate authority in all matters of faith, doctrine, and Christian practice.
Salvation by Grace
We believe salvation comes by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, not by human effort or religious works, but by the finished work of the cross.
The Holy Spirit's Work
We believe in the active work of the Holy Spirit who transforms hearts, empowers believers, and guides the Church in truth and mission today.
The Church's Calling
We believe the Church is the body of Christ, called to love sacrificially, serve humbly, and proclaim the gospel boldly to every nation and people.
Mission as Essential
We believe mission is not optional but essential—a calling for every Christian to participate in sharing and living out the GOSPEL.
A Glimpse of the School
Four Months That Change Everything
The school is located in Campo Mourão, Brazil, where students experience four intensive months of biblical and spiritual immersion. During this transformative period, students study Scripture deeply, discover their God-given gifts, and learn how to apply them effectively in building God's Kingdom.
The entire program is conducted in English, creating an international learning environment. Three months are dedicated to classroom training in Brazil, covering theology, missiology, cross-cultural ministry, and spiritual formation. The final month is lived abroad on a mission trip—where everything learned becomes real, lived, and powerfully impactful in actual ministry contexts.
