We train, equip and empower local pastors who lack access to formal theological education by mentoring, preparing and sending U.S. seminary students to serve as teachers.
The developing world lacks trained, theologically educated leaders, despite Christianity’s explosive growth. We hope to bridge that gap: Local pastors gain solid biblical teaching, and our teachers gain experience, cultural sensitivity and a greater heart for the world.
Your donations can bring education and experience to future evangelical leaders across the world.
