Ministry-at-a-Glance Primary Ministry Focus Training Rwandan church leaders.
The People The Rwandese are spiritually responsive. Churches are growing faster than leaders are being trained. Eighty percent of Rwandan churches are led by people with no Bible or pastoral training.
Major Challenges Qualified quality staff are hard to find when so few church leaders have Bible training. The new generation of church leaders will need training at a bachelor’s level — can we provide it?
Prayer Focus For qualified staff with exemplary lives to enter the training programs. For trained and changed church leaders. Our mission statement is to help the Rwandan church function as the Body of Christ.
