Escola de Pastores da PIB de Atibaia

TLI partners with the First Baptist Church of Atibaia (PIBA) in Atibaia, Brazil. Since 2013 TLI has provided consulting, support, and instructors to help them start their own church-based seminary (EPPIBA). Students receive both academic training and supervised ministry experience as a PIBA elder mentors them over the course of three years. The school has graduated 15 men in two cohorts, with another 5 men set for graduation in early 2021. EPPIBA's graduates are active in pastoral ministry across Brazil, conservative Christian publishing and in the leadership of an international mission.

CURRICULUM

Psalms

You know when go to study theology, you're filled with all kinds ... you're given all kinds of tools and of course knowledge to understand God's word and to proclaim it to the church. That's kind of like a buffet, and when you have theological training, you get a buffet. And when you have a buffet, you get really full. And one of the things I noticed in the US is a lot of people come to theological training already pretty full. Whereas our students here in Vietnam, they come to theological training pretty hungry and in real need of the knowledge of the word and skills to understand it and proclaim it and apply it to the church and proclaim the gospel
