Formal and Non-Formal Theological Education

Could you help train pastors and other church leaders to give them a sound understanding of Biblical truth? There are many churches and congregations with pastors, lay preachers and church workers who have not had the opportunity and privilege of either studying at a Bible College or undertaking a distance-learning course. Biblically-based theological and leadership training is therefore a priority area for strengthening the church across South Africa. The ministry seeks to serve men and women in leadership roles within evangelical churches in South Africa, including pastors and people leading ministries within a church, with the objective of strengthening church leadership and equipping leaders to train others through what they have learned.

Outreach to Women

This ministry vision is to see women living freely as children of God, reflecting His beauty and contributing to their communities. The ministry will build confidence and a sense of responsibility, through discipleship and development of creativity. Women will understand their identity is in Christ and grow their skills through artisan activities or through community development projects. These activities will be a form of outreach and income-generating projects, accessible to any women (and men), and will ultimately contribute to the development of a mature and growing church.

Discipler of Disciples

We are focused on reaching the un-reached people of the north in Mozambique so this role is designed to train Bible students (pastors and youth) to evangelise and plant churches among the unreached who surround the city. The discipleship and training will be among churches that need to have that vision, or among small and young Yao churches dotted in and around Lichinga. More than anything, they need encouragement and good biblical discipleship. This fits perfectly into our strategy. This work can either be based in urban or rural areas providing flexibility. Learning a local language will most likely be the best option, although working in the city can be done with Portuguese alone. This is a role for someone who loves relationship building, small group settings, and grass root efforts. God is moving in these areas, so the time is right.

Discipling New Believers

We long to see a Christ-centred, contextualised church planted among an influential, but gospel-resistant people group in West Africa. Working in partnership with local believers, a small team is already involved in outreach activities and establishing a rural discipleship and agriculture training centre. A key strategy is to support and nurture new believers, many of whom face persecution. A variety of practical and word-based opportunities exist to disciple and train new believers for Christian life and service.

Paraguay First Nations Partnerships

We are looking for people who are willing to work alongside indigenous believers, growing, equipping, and encouraging them to reach out to their people.

Furthermore, the mission worker must be able to ask the question, "How can I help meet some needs, without enabling, or causing dependency?" While almost all trades and professions would be helpful, we would love to welcome doctors or nurses to this ministry.
