02/04/24 Busy Spring
The mission of Global Baptist Training Foundation has always been to train nationals to train nationals! To see this vision become reality has been the most exciting ministry imaginable. Spring, 2024, illustrates how God is working
In addition to Bruce’s trainer training in Liberia in January, Fidele Shinga has just completed a class in Ethiopia with nearly 50 pastors and church leaders
For the rest of the spring here’s what you can expect:
Bruce leaves this week for training trainers in Uganda and will be in Tanzania in March to train even more trainers. Fidele will be in Mozambique, Rwanda, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Burundi in the next three months training pastors and church leaders..
Additional classes will be taught by nationals in Uganda, Tanzania, Liberia, and other locations. Here are just a few of the classes scheduled:
| NAMES | NATIVE COUNTRY | TRAINING CENTER | DATES | |
| Julius MAKAU | KENYA | Mwingi (Kenya) | Jan 29th – Feb 2nd. 2024 |  |
| Brasswell NKHONJERA | MALAWI | Chasefu (Zambia) New Class | Feb 5th-9th 2024 |  |
| Dieudonne NIMBONA | BURUNDI | Northern (Burundi) | Feb 5th-9th 2024 |  |
| Hesron MWAISEMBA | TANZANIA | Dar Es laam(Tanzania) | March 26th-1st 2024 |  |
| Jackson B. KATEBERA | DRCONGO | Miti(DRC) | March 18th-23rd 2024 |  |
Maybe the MOST exciting statistic is that we now have over 400 new churches starting (led by pastors trained by GBTF) in 2024!! Many of these church planters will be funded at $50 a month by our partner, ADVANCE. Many others will require no outside funding to start a new church in a village or town where no gospel witness currently exists
What a great work and incredible return on investment! Join us at www.globaltrain.org!
