Camotes, Cebu, Philippines, is an island chain East of Cebu. The need for TLI training is great because mostpastors and leaders are homegrown and lack formal or informal training. They have their Bibles, but few other resources. Often, these pastors minister based on their experience and what they have learned from their predecessors. Many of the pastors serve in tribal areas where the gospel is very limited, and the need is enormous. Our local partners are Pastor BJ and his wife, Judy. BJ pastored in Cebu for ten years and has planted five churches on the islands of Camotes.

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.
