09/19/2019 Third Liberian Classroom Location

We are progressing nicely in this our third Liberian classroom. It is an area quite different from Monrovia or Gbarnga. Here near this major port city, the ravages of the civil war are still very visible. Because of the systemic corruption the country continues to live under, everything remains in total disrepair and in poverty. […]

01/18/2019 Liberia Graduation Day

It is difficult to express the emotions in the room in Gbarnga, Liberia, today as 64 pastors earned their certificates for yet another course – Homiletics (sermon building)! There is, of course, great joy over a task accomplished. Relief that a very grueling week, with long hours of class in extreme heat, has ended. There […]

01/16/2019 What Nationals Can Do

This is our fifth day in Liberia, and the blessings of training national church leaders just keep rolling in. On Sunday my church planting partner Greg Dixon spoke at the church at which I spoke last year in September. This church was started by one of our pastor students just one year ago and […]

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.
