Global Baptist Training Foundation exists to take solid, Biblical, theological training to nationals around the world and then to develop nationals to train other nationals creating an intentional multiplication.

So what is the bottom line?  It is not to just have more highly trained pastors and church leaders, although this is a great asset in the work of the ministry. GBTF training grounds these church leaders theologically and practically with in-depth training in sermon building and other practical skills.  

The bottom line is the advancement of the gospel of Jesus Christ through these trained nationals who preach faithfully and accurately the Word of God, start new churches in areas where none exist, and then baptize and disciple all those come to faith.   This report gives an overview of just the first two to three months of 2024.
