Global Baptist attaining Foundation is committed to training nationals and then having those nationals train other nationals! This plan is in full operation in East Africa where GBTF has a full-time trainer in Fidele Shinga.
Fidele just completed a class in Tanzania. The Tanzanian pastors say they have been praying for 14 years for the ability to get further training in theology, preaching, and church planting. They say that GBTF is the answer to these many years of praying.
This is the same thing we are hearing all over Africa. GBTF is now poised to move into Malawi and Burundi as well.
We do ask for prayer for the Democratic Republic of Congo. We have told for for the past three years that US State Department warnings have kept us out of Congo. Fidele is a native of Congo, and we have looked forward to his returning to pick up the classes where we left off. Now, however, guerrilla violence is keeping the border closed – even to Fidele!
Once these pastors get trained, we will be able to partner with Advance to see church planting move into these countries with trained pastors in each church plant! We are committed to this as well! We have seen all over the world how pastors without proper theological foundations can fall into false teaching so easily.
Thank you to all who are partnering to see the gospel move forward through nationals!

The Teacher Returns Home
Global Baptist Training Foundation offers four levels of training in Hermeneutics, Basic Theology, Expositional Preaching, and Evangelism. For national pastors who desire training in the original biblical languages, we also offer extended training in this area. When it is possible to return to teaching sites twice a year, the training can be completed in as little as two years (without languages). ESL is also available to all of our students.
