African Bible Colleges- Kenya

We are starting a Bible College in the Busia District of Kenya, which is on the Kenyan and Ugandan border.

The purpose of ABC (African Bible College) is to train and ground pastors, church leaders and those called to be missionaries in order to give them a firm foundation. This has been sorely lacking in most of Africa, especially in the rural areas. The evangelist has come, but the teacher has not. We want to train up nationals to do the work of the ministry. We are a jump starter.

We are working on a revolutionary new school that will meet the needs of the locals, and not the missionaries!

What is it you ask? Great question. We are looking at doing a combination live/video school. We have found an existing video school that we believe would work great in tandem with live teaching.

Why videos? The International School of Ministry was created using well known instructors such as John Bevere, T.L. Osborne, Joyce Meyers and others that have a message and anointing that we just could reproduce. The great thing is, that it has already been translated into over 55 languages.

Why not just use the videos and skip the live teaching? There is a dynamic that comes from live teachers being able to respond to their audience. Also, its hard to ask a video a question. We know there are certain truths that God has placed in us that no one else can teach, just as we are not able to teach in the same way a message from say John Bevere.

We are considering hooking up with local churches and doing 1 or two 2 days of classes. This would reduce the need to have a building for classes and dormitory. We would be able to travel to several areas a week, simultaneously teaching a few groups of students. We are still working this out, and we also need to talk to Sebastian, our Kenyan partner about the feasibility.

We have designed it this way in order to allow pastors and church leaders the ability to continue to work to provide for their family, and to continue their pastoring or ministering in their churches.

This Bible College is intended to train the trainers, otherwise known as discipling. Most pastors in Kenya have no training and lack basic Biblical knowledge. Where as their hearts are passionate, they lack the tools to do the good work that God has designed them for.
