Formal Training options exist in Accra for those who are able to access them. For the majority of Ghanaian pastors and church leaders, however, accessing formal training remains impractical if not impossible. TLI’s non-formal training team has been investing in pastors and church leaders in Northern Ghana for nearly a decade and has recently launched its first training site in southern Ghana as well. In partnership with local leaders, we gather 60 Ghanaian and Ivorian pastors and church leaders together three times per year for structured and intensive study of God's Word. The goal of this training is to better equip local church leaders to understand and communicate God's Word in their context of ministry.

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.
