In 2 Timothy 2:2, the Apostle Paul says these powerful words to Timothy: “And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.” One of our desires at Africa’s Hope is to help the African church raise up a great army of teachers to train future church planters. We are looking for men and women who have fire in their bones and the call of God on their lives to teach what they have learned to the next generation of emerging leaders.
We strongly believe that Spirit-empowered, biblically trained leaders are the hope of Africa! In order to see enough leaders trained, it is critical to raise up more qualified teachers. Our desire is to assist these teachers with tuition, books, and housing during their class sessions.
These funds will empower African schools by providing quality administrators and instructors who will raise up and equip church planters. These church planters will be instrumental in helping the Africa Assemblies of God reach its goal of 300,000 new churches by 2033!
