Welcome to AMO Bible College South Africa
OUR MOTTO : REACH . TEACH . SEND
Welcome to AMO Bible College South Africa! We are truly delighted that you are considering joining our family of believers who long for a deeper understanding of God’s Word and a life fully surrendered to His call.
Whether you are a pastor, a church leader, a missionary in training, or a believer hungry to grow in truth and wisdom, our prayer is that this journey will be a season of transformation, equipping, and personal encounter with the heart of the Father.
At AMO, our mandate is simple and Spirit-led:
REACH · TEACH · SEND
We believe that every student who walks through our doors carries a divine purpose. Our mission is to REACH you where you are, TEACH you the unchanging truth of God’s Word, and SEND you out-fully equipped, confident, and empowered-to fulfil the calling God has placed upon your life.
Whether God is preparing you to shepherd His people, serve your community, minister to the broken, train children, counsel families, or step into the mission field…
we are here to equip you, strengthen you, and walk with you as God sends you into your destiny.
May your time with us be a testimony of His grace, His truth, and His transforming power.

AMO Bible College SA falls directly under AMO ICU (AMO International University) and is our newest branch founded by Apostle Ruan van Wyngaardt (Dr) - Jan 2024
An AMO qualification is accepted and recognized by many governments in the nations where we work, according to their regulations for ministries, churches, ministers and pastors. This helps protect pastors and churches from unnecessary persecution and closure.
Our Bible Schools also serve as a recruitment and training base for missionaries, who are then sent to unreached mission fields as God calls and prepares them.
