Most people in ministry in Rwanda (even pastors!) have little or no Biblical education. As a result, many teach salvation by works and the prosperity gospel. A lack of Biblically literate, spiritually transformed leaders means that Rwandan churches are full of non-believers and immature, undiscipled Christians. The Ministry Leaders Training (MLT) is a two year, partially residential program in which students learn Biblical theology and practical ministry skills. They also benefit from courses on marriage, family and agriculture, as well as one-on-one discipleship and mentoring. Our aim isn’t just to provide MLT students with knowledge and skills. We want them to be transformed by what they’re learning – to become true disciples of Christ.
You can come alongside an MLT student by becoming their sponsor. Sponsors make a two-year commitment to cover the cost of a student’s training. The full cost is $175/month, but if that’s too much for you to do on your own, consider asking your small group or a friend to join you! You’ll also receive regular updates and prayer requests from your student so you can pray for them on their journey of transformation.
