Kimberley, South Africa

There are many good options for theological training in the major population centers of South Africa. But, since most rural pastors in South Africa are bi-vocational and extremely poor, access to these institutions is difficult. This is the case for many in Kimberley, where TLI launched a site with pastors and church leaders from the Northern Cape. May the pastors of South Africa be grounded in the Word of God and may their churches be blessed as the Word is opened, preached, and taught each week.

The vision of Training Leaders International brings biblical and theological content to the people best positioned to pass it on to others. Most forms of short-term mission are fraught with troubling downsides, but this pattern of transferring serious theological nourishment is enriching both parties to the glory of God.
