Freetown, Sierra Leone
Freetown is the capital city of Sierra Leone and a strategic hub for quality hermeneutical and theological training. In this majority Muslim country there are few opportunities for theological education, and the false prosperity gospel has taken firm root in most churches. Our partner in Freetown has gathered an eager group of trainees, from a variety of educational backgrounds, who are eagerly learning and implementing the TLI training in their churches. We want them to equip the saints in their churches to read and understand the Bible for themselves and defend themselves from errors of Islam and prosperity preaching. We train about 35 current and future church leaders. An added bonus for trainers - all training is in English, the de-facto official language of Sierra Leone
