About Us

Since 2005, we have trained over 25,000 pastors and leaders in Africa with our innovative and life-changing Bible workshops.

Our strategy is simple and is comprised of one mission, one approach, and one tool.

We provide practical training in Bible study and sermon preparation skills for national pastors in countries throughout Africa.

Each week, our graduates apply what they have learned as they preach and teach in their local congregations.

One Approach: Bible Training Workshops

Our Bible Training Workshops teach pastors to prepare sermons that flow from personal Bible study and reliance upon the Holy Spirit. We also show them how to use a study Bible that was developed to encourage a deeper study of God’s Word.

One Tool: The Thompson Study Bible

With its wealth of study tools, the Thompson Chain Reference Bible equips pastors, who often have limited training and resources, to prepare sermons.

Upon graduation, each pastor is awarded a copy of the Thompson Bible. It becomes a treasured resource to those who have no other study tools.
