Biblical training for African church leaders |
|
A rapidly growing African church faces many problems.
One of these is having enough trained pastors and leaders to keep the church strong and free from false teaching. AIM sensed this need more than 60 years ago by making the training of church leaders a top priority.
Over the decades we have sent many missionaries to teach in Bible institutes, Bible colleges and seminaries in most of the countries where we work. But we have been doing more than just staffing Bible schools, we have also been providing scholarships for African pastors and women’s workers to get advanced degrees so they can teach at Bible colleges and provide strong church leadership.

Move against fear - A call from Central Africa |
|
Adapted from an essay by Mike Delorenzo, AIM On-field Media, December 2009.
"Sometimes when we are called to obey, the fear does not subside and we are expected to move against fear. One must choose to do it afraid." Elizabeth Elliot.
I have only one pair of good boots. I seldom get to use them, but they were the first thing I packed. For 15 days I travelled through central Africa - into the middle of the continent, and the middle of some of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world.
AIM’s objective was to gauge the state of the church here, if there was one, and to learn how to re-engage these lands with a renewed missionary effort. What do you take on a trip like that? Good boots and a Bible, a notebook and an open mind, and, if you dare, an open heart.
