The Full Story
The Thompson Bible International Institute in Africa
Since 2015 I've had the joy of collaborating with the Thompson Bible International Institute and African Pastoral Training in further equipping African pastors and church leaders in the study and preaching of God's Word. My particular focus is on French speaking Africa, which has often been neglected both in terms of resources and available training. Our vision is simple, comprised of one mission, one strategy, and one tool. Be sure to watch the video below that gives an overview of the ministry. And if you would like to receive our monthly newsletter, just sign up on the form provided.
One Strategy:
Reproducible Workshops
Our Bible Training Workshops teach pastors to prepare sermons that flow from personal Bible study and reliance upon the Holy Spirit. We also show them how to use a study Bible that was developed to encourage a deeper study of God’s Word.
One Mission:
The African Continent
We provide practical training in Bible study and sermon preparation skills for national pastors in countries throughout Africa. Each week, our graduates apply what they have learned as they preach and teach in their local congregations.
One Tool:
The Thompson Study Bible
With its wealth of study tools, the Thompson Chain Reference Bible equips pastors, who often have limited training and resources, to prepare sermons.
Upon graduation, each pastor is awarded a copy of the Thompson Bible. It becomes a treasured resource to those who have no other study tools.
