Abstract
This thesis intends to deal with the three-self principle and the IELB. In the first chapter the historical origin and development of the three-self mission approach will be presented. The question "Are they biblical?" will be answered in the second chapter. The third chapter will focus on the Brazilian background of the IELB, with the ethnic composition of its people, its economic and social status, and its chief religions. The foundation of the IELB and the most relevant facts of its history will be discussed in the fourth chapter. Finally, the conclusion will provide an explanation of how the three-self principle can be applied. The IELB will be evaluated in terms of the three-self principle. In addition, recommendations will be given to help the IELB to continue to reach the goal of becoming a self-governing, self-propagating, and self-supporting church.
