Pregue a Palavra (PAP)
TLI partners with the First Baptist Church of Atibaia (PIBA) in Atibaia, Brazil. From 2013-2023, TLI provided consulting, support, and instructors to help PIBA start their own church-based seminary. Through this program, many students have received both academic training and supervised ministry experience as a PIBA elder mentored them over the course of their three year training program. The graduates are active in pastoral ministry across Brazil, conservative Christian publishing, and in the leadership of an international mission.
In 2023, PIBA partnered with Pregue a Palavra (Preach the Word) to begin offering a Post-Graduate Certificate in Biblical Exposition. TLI is helping to provide instructors for this program that is primarily aimed at training and equipping leaders in Pregue a Palavra, a ministry devoted to developing pastors who are faithful expositors of God's word. The Pregue a Palavra leaders who are being trained through the Post-Graduate program are themselves involved in training hundreds of pastors throughout Brazil and several other countries. TLI continues to provide credentialed instructors who prepare their own courses three times a year for this program, helping to strengthen churches throughout Brazil and surrounding nations.

CURRICULUM
PsalmsYou 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
