Addis Ababa is a city of 5,000,000 people with a land area similar to Chicago. There are evangelical colleges and seminary options in Addis, as well as much informal missions’ activity. There remains a need, however, for a structured, non-formal training venue for the many pastors and church leaders to whom formal training remains inaccessible and informal training is not sufficient. TLI hopes to address that need by launching a non-formal training site in Addis Ababa in the Fall of 2022.

CURRICULUM
Course #2 - Knowing the Bible's StoryCOURSE DESCRIPTION
Course 2 explores the general flow of Christ-centered redemptive history from Genesis to Revelation. Major themes that appear throughout—each including aspects of continuity and discontinuity—are God’s kingdom, covenants, people, kingship, priesthood, prophetic ministry, and mission. Each theme is embedded within Scripture’s testimony to the fundamental storyline of God’s plan to reconcile the world to himself under Christ’s kingship for his glory. The point of the whole course is to equip the trainees to answer the hermeneutical Question 2: How does it fit in the Bible? The issue of the Bible’s whole story is hermeneutically potent and foundational to handling individual texts and passages rightly.
