Principal and OPERATIONS Director

Eliana & John Whyte

Our work at the IBTI is to create a place where God will do the work, which means fostering a culture of faith, empowerment of the Holy Spirit, mission, relief, care and love. Then, within that environment we simply come alongside our students and show them all we know, live and believe.

ADMINISTRATION MANAGER

IBTI has been my life and work for thirty seven years and the Lord has been our faithful provider. I’ve seen more than eight hundred students pass through the college and it has been a privilege and pleasure to witness so many young people full of passion and zeal for God.

My exciting challenging and faith building journey of serving God began at the IBTI so to be able to train and prepare young people as they begin their own journeys is a privilege too good to turn down.

Stefano Guaglione

My desire is to impact this generation to be Christlike in their daily life, see them motivated by God’s Word and mobilised to fulfil the Great Commission (Mt 28:18-20; Acts 1:8) and through the IBTI influence Europe and future European Church leaders.

student welfare manager

Francesca Guaglione

I came to IBTI as a student from 2011 to 2013, with my husband, because we love mission and we felt called by God to leave everything and follow him. We didn’t know what that meant for us at the time but now we know we are here for such a time as this. To impact students in preparation for their ministry God will give them later on. Impacting our students to impact their nations!

marketing manager

Franco Grieco

My life took a decisive turn after attending IBTI as a student in 2001-2003. Fifteen years later, having spent this years in the ministry in Italy, I felt the call to return to IBTI to prepare and train the new generation of ministers of the Gospel.

Household manager

Valeria Grieco

Since I arrived in IBTI as a student in 2001 I felt that this is a special place where the Lord shapes lives and equips young people for His work. For this reason, after spending many years in the mission field I decided to come back to IBTI to serve in practical ways and to share my knowledge and experience with the students.
