Our Approach

Bible Training GraduateOur philosophy of ministry is simple. We conduct low-cost pastoral training workshops throughout Africa that:

  • Train and equip pastors on how to teach and preach God’s word effectively using the Thompson Chain Reference Study Bible, motivating them toward ongoing study, effective preparation and effective communication
  • Demonstrate the absolute indispensability of the Holy Spirit in every step of effective Biblical communication
  • Encourage, strengthen and bring spiritual rest and healing to pastors through solid Biblical teaching
  • Promote unity and deeper fellowship among leaders from different groups and churches
  • Promote a broadened view of and involvement in God’s work around the world

Help us train pastors in Africa

There are many ways you can help a pastor learn to study and teach from the Bible. Consider making a tax-deductible gift to sponsor a pastor to attend a Bible training workshop. Contact us to learn how.
