The July, 2018, class in Kigali, Rwanda, is now complete.  We are thrilled with what God is doing though Global Baptist Training Foundation around the world.   These pastors have gained knowledge and skill in handling the Word of God.  They leave each class with the admonition to train others with the materials placed in…

I’m in Kigali, Rwanda teaching a group of native pastors.  This is our sixth class, and it’s going well.  These pastors happen to be the replacement pastors for those killed in genocide in 1994.  Our host, Pastor Denys, himself a natural leader, and a miraculous survivor of the massacre, went out about a month after…

Bruce departs today for the seventh class in Kigali Rwanda.  55-65 pastors will then be just one class from completing our level one curriculum (equivalent to the Bible and theological portion of an undergraduate Bible college education)!  That last class may be as early as October, 2018.   After that, the pastors will have the choice…

Youth While our primary mission is to train pastors, and our primary resources support this mission, we also believe in training pastors’ wives.  And the next tier is…
