KALEO INTERNATIONAL BIBLE INSTITUTE
Kaleo International Bible Institute is a located in Nambale, Kenya. We are fully accredited higher learning institution by the Kenyan Technical and Vocational Training Institute.
History of KIBI in Kenya
The Kaleo Bible Institute was originally founded as a church-based leadership training program here in Nambale Kenya. It was founded in direct response to the needs that founders pastor Peter Mugeni (director of Kaleo International Church Kenya) and pastor Joshua Muse (Founding Director of Kaleo International churches worldwide) saw among pastors and leaders in Kenya to receive advanced training in leadership and ministry. The first church-based training resulted in many changed lives. The desire was birthed in the hearts of the leadership team to take the training further and establish an accredited Bible Institute in Western Kenya to serve Kenya and all of East Africa. The Kaleo International leadership team began pursuing the process of accreditation by purchasing land located within Nambale town, that was strategically located to provide an excellent learning environment for students. The first building build was a chapel that was initially used for training. In compliance with Kenyan education law the institution has since added classes, office space, library, computer room, men’s and women’s dorms along with a kitchen, teacher latrines and student latrines and washrooms.
Partnership with Christian Leadership University
Kaleo International Church began partnership with Christian leadership University in 2018. Dr. Donald Ragland who is a pastor with Kaleo International and alumni of CLU oversees the academic connection between the 2 universities. CLU provided Kaleo Bible Institute with the curriculum and has written an agreement with KIBI to accept and cover our institution as an extension of Christian Leadership University here in East Africa. Through partnership with CLU, KIBI offers the following programs which are fully accredited under CLU:
