Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Addis Ababa is a city of 5,000,000 people with a land area similar to Chicago. There are faithful evangelical colleges and seminaries in Addis, as well as a lot of informal missions’ activity. TLI's non-formal training site helps meet the need for those many pastors for whom formal training remains inaccessible and informal training is not sufficient. Currently, TLI, in partnership with local leaders in Addis, gathers 60 pastors and church leaders together for a structured, intensive study of God's Word. The goal is to better equip Addis leaders with the tools necessary to understand and communicate the Word of God in their congregations.

The vision of Training Leaders International brings biblical and theological content to the people best positioned to pass it on to others. Most forms of short-term mission are fraught with troubling downsides, but this pattern of transferring serious theological nourishment is enriching both parties to the glory of God.
