The main focus of American Mission Teams Evangelistic Org. is missions through education. AMT focuses on Home Missions which includes inmates and Kids at Risk AMT members support the inmate program which focuses on Bible Education and a High School program. Over the past 20 years several thousand inmates have enrolled in programs available and at least 600 have graduated with degrees from Bible College and about 700 from the high school program. Not all who enroll graduate, however a lot of students complete many courses without graduating. At the present time there are about 900 inmates enrolled. The cost per year per inmate for shipping and handling is $100 - $150. The cost depends on how many courses an inmate completes per year. We receive letters thanking us for sending the material. One inmate said the material was a light in a very dark place.
Also the Adult High School Program is available to adults other than inmates. In the past 20 years we/kwa have graduated over 200 adults. The High School diploma has opened up college and job opportunities to these graduates, as well as personal achievement.
We also work with kids at risk, those who need to enroll in an alternative program because public school is not working for them. We have graduated over 600 from this program in the last 20 years. Many of these students have entered college, joined the military, or have careers, etc. Many of these kids stay in touch with us. We thank God for them. KWA also has an elementary program K 8. Over the past 20 years many students have attended the elementary program. Some have continued on to graduate with KWA while others have enrolled in and completed High School in the public education system.
AMT also partners and affiliates with many other ministries located in the United States. These ministries include outreach to prisoners, homeless, children, food banks, crisis counseling centers, foreign missions, women s ministries, chaplains & pastoral advisors. These are just a few!

International Institute of Bible Theology (IIBT) was launched in 2015 to meet the increasing demand for online based schooling. The Directors of the online school are Drs. Allan and Rosemary Chambers. The Chambers are graduates of ICBT and MSBT. The office of IIBT is situated in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
Purpose - IIBT was established to meet the growing need for ministers of the Gospel to have a degree in order to preach the Gospel or be involved in missionary endeavors in different parts of the world. In some areas, pastors would not be allowed to keep their churches open if they did not have a degree. IIBT currently has students in South Africa, Australia, Belgium, France, Canada and the United States. Contact them through their website: www.iibtonline.com Go to the website to try a sample course.
