We are continuing to partner with an experienced local ministry. They have a 40-day training program from which our partner selects certain pastors to participate in our training. This is the second cohort (27 pastors), with a projected graduation of July 2019. Our work here is strategic given the deep need for the gospel as well as strong churches in an ever-changing climate. New opportunities for gospel work are being explored in the surrounding areas.

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.
