2026 Project Accelerate
Vision Banquet
We make Biblical training accessible to leaders who need it most.
In the Global South—comprising Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Oceania—9 out of 10 pastors have never received formal Bible training.
We believe that trained pastors are essential to fulfilling the Great Commission. By investing in their development, we can ensure healthier churches and stronger communities, grounded in sound doctrine and effective discipleship.
How we EQUIP & EMPOWER
MINISTRY TRAINING CENTERS
Our Ministry Training Centers serve as mobile training sites where students gather biannually for 3-4 days of intensive training over a period of three years. Throughout this program, six training modules are delivered by highly qualified instructors with extensive cross-cultural teaching experience.
MENTORSHIP
Mentorship is central to our approach, as we invest in the personal and spiritual growth of leaders, ensuring they are not only knowledgeable but confident and wise in their leadership.
STRONG RELATIONSHIPS
Our commitment to the leaders we train goes beyond formal programs or structured sessions. We develop deep connections with them, walking alongside them in their real-world ministry settings.
Our vision is to accelerate the spread of the gospel by graduating 5,000 high-capacity church leaders from our Ministry Training Centers over the next ten years. These leaders will act as catalysts for gospel transformation in their churches and communities, with the potential to impact millions of lives.
