Tanzania

GBTF Tanzania pastor training class with instructor Fidele October 2023

Fidele held a class in Tanzania last week for an entirely new group of pastors and church leaders. You often see women in these classes. We are working to train women trainers for these women. In the absence of women’s classes, they are welcome to attend the theology courses. Many of these women are leaders in their churches. We were scheduled to have a trainer training session in Tanzania that has been postponed because Bruce got very sick. This is the first time this has happened in 12 years. He has recovered and will reschedule this training session in the near future.

This week, Gilbert Okecha traveled (during rainy season) to teach a GBTF class in the Congo. The video of crossing flooded roadways shows the dedication of these national trainers. We are so thankful that God is using faithful men who are training other also (II Timothy 2:2)!

Your giving makes all of this possible!  As we near the end of the year, consider a gift that will enable us to help even more indigenous trainers to take theological training throughout Africa and to start churches and evangelize!
