BLI - SCHOOL OF EVANGELISM

Historical Background

The Bible School was founded in 1957 at Ruhija by Rev. Ernest Mutashobya and Crister Mouler after evangelism work officially began in 1910.

After evangelism started, it was discovered that graduates lacked knowledge of church music and hymns; therefore, music education was integrated into Ruhija Bible School.

In January 2020 , the school was relocated from Ruhija to Ntoma to merge with other spiritual and technical programs.
