What is the International Symposium?
The International Symposium is justBible Ministries’ flagship gathering: three days through one book of the Bible, verse by verse, hosted by a partner church. Rural pastors and teachers travel in, sleep at the host center, and leave with a printed workbook in their own language — and a Bible if they came without one. Attendance is free to them. A visiting team covers teaching, children’s work, logistics, and the unglamorous jobs that keep the days running.
In 2027 the Symposium returns to Zion Community Center in Seeta Nazigo, Uganda, where the first one was held in 2014. The April 2026 gathering was the first International Symposium outside Uganda: Christian Restoration Church in Nairobi, the book of James, more than 500 adults and more than 250 children, 250 Bibles given.
You do not have to be a teacher. This form is an enquiry, not a booking. It opens an email to Mark Cooper; nothing is sent until you press send. He will follow up with what the team needs, and with the cost and dates when those are set.

Come with us — or send the workbooks.
We are already preparing to return to the hilltop where this began. Applications to travel with us are open now, and a gift toward the next symposium buys the workbooks, Bibles, meals and travel that put a book of the Bible into a pastor's hands.
