Thirdmill | Biblical Education. For the World. For Free.’s Post

This always gets me. 85% of pastors in Kenya with no training. How can you lead effectively without being trained or taught? Most pastors in Kenya are given a bible and told to preach. Unfortunately, they don't have the knowledge or the skills to correctly teach. Why? They were never taught. We are changing that. Taking Theological Education to the grassroots pastors. Together, we can train pastors who in turn will be leading biblically healthy churches. As these pastors lead healthy churches they can send trained men and women to the nations. Kenya, and most of Africa, is sending missionaries into the world. We want to help them send out those who know how to correctly handle the word of truth.

In the spirit of unity and faith, PACT Missionaries' Bread and Wine Ministries Cause stands as a testament to our commitment to nurturing both the body and soul. This initiative reaches out to communities across Africa, offering more than just the sacramental bread and wine; it brings a message of hope, fellowship, and spiritual sustenance. As we gather around the table to share the bread and wine, we're reminded of the profound connection we share with one another and with the divine. This sacred tradition is vital for many congregations, yet, in some parts of Africa, resources are scarce, and the means to partake in this holy communion are often limited. Through the Bread and Wine Ministries Cause, PACT aims to ensure that no congregation is deprived of this essential aspect of their worship due to lack of resources. Your support can help provide churches with the necessary supplies to continue their communion services, fostering a sense of unity and shared faith that is so crucial in these challenging times. Join us in strengthening the spiritual foundation of communities across Africa. Your contribution, big or small, can make a significant difference in preserving these sacred traditions and promoting a sense of belonging and togetherness among believers. #BreadAndWineMinistries #PACTSupport #UnityInFaith #SpiritualSustenance #Communion #HopeAndHealing #TogetherInWorship #SacredTraditions #FaithInAction #SupportOurChurches #SpiritualNourishment #PACTMission #DonateToday #FaithCommunities #SharingInFaith #CommunionServiceSupport #ChurchResources #FellowshipInFaith #NurtureTheSoul 

The Fully Equipped Bible Institute meets urgent needs in developing countries where persecution shuts churches down when pastors don't have bachelor's degrees. Our online programs help pastors who once considered it impossible to get the education they urgently need. Watch: https://bit.ly/ItIsUrgent

Sharing 4 Keys with Pastors in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria and Malawi - by Pamela Ayres The Virkler revelation is a useful and compact tool to jumpstart a lifestyle of seeking God. Until I learned the four step method in 2021 through Mark’s teaching at the Global School of Supernatural Ministry, If you are viewing this blog in an email, click here to watch the video on YouTube. https://lnkd.in/dbtP__rK I taught the several ways God speaks to us in many countries. My approach was valid but constrained. All of our children’s curriculum include time to reflect on the lesson and either activate what was learned or meditate on God’s personal leading and intimacy. It was lesson-based. In April 2024, I ministered in the Lilongwe region of Malawi. I led six trainings in the four steps and left the seventh, to the coordinator to teach. Altogether, about 156 separate churches were impacted. Approximately one hundred eighty children’s ministers and 50 senior pastors were trained and received journals. After each training, we activated them to the effort and reviewed some of the participants’ questions and God’s perceived responses. I finally recognized in this training that we cannot only teach the four steps of quieting yourself, allowing your mind and heart to flow with your inner man, focusing on the Lord and speaking your heart to Him while expecting to receive a response and finally, journaling that response. The majority of responses from the average Christian are performance based such as “God says, I must be a better Christian, work harder in my ministry, be more diligent in witnessing, etc.” To redirect expectations, I added the rules for proper prophecy found in 1 Corinthians 14:3. We are to hear God build us up, encourage us and strengthen us. Responses from our quiet time before God then improved and became more personal. I made the point in each meeting that what has been received is a new beginning that must be developed. Listening to God is not an event but an ongoing lifestyle. We are sons of God because we are led by the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:14). To value ourselves as God values us is a challenge. These four hundred and fifty brothers and sisters have been given that challenge. The result, I expect, will be new personal confidence in their walk with a mighty and tender Father. My aim in serving them is to see the thousands of children under their influence learn a personal walk with God from youth. ________________________________________ How to Hear God’s Voice Free Video Event Register today for online access!

There are 625 unreached people groups (UPGs) in West Bengal that are less than 2% Christian. That's 103 million people who don't have the ability to even hear the Gospel. Bangladesh is one of the most concentrated countries of unreached people groups in the world and sits right in the middle of South Asia. 87.1% of the 165,551,000 people in Bangladesh are Muslim, with only 0.33% of the population being Christian. 99% of the population, 163,912,000 people, have no access to hearing the Gospel, no local church, no believing neighbor, and no hope of hearing the great news of Jesus, and this project with Transform East Alliance (TEA) is our best chance to change that. In 2022, Transform East Alliance (TEA) completed the first half of the two-year training program of 200 church planting coordinators in West Bengal, India, and Bangladesh. In 2022 alone, these trainees already planted 505 underground churches with 4,357 new believers representing 175 unreached people groups (UPGs). Transform East Alliance continues to be incredibly effective, and they will continue to use their proven Disciple Making Movement (DMM) / Church Planting Movement (CPM) hybrid model. You can join us in helping TEA carry out its mission of making the Gospel accessible in places that most need it today: https://lnkd.in/gZJ9snNT.

In this blog post, I hope to shed light on the biblical requirement for churches to care for their pastors, specifically in the context of Africa, with an emphasis on Zambia my beloved country.

More than 75% of pastors in Nepal have had no formal training, and with the Christian community making up only 1.8% of the population, Nepal is considered unreached. Unreached means there are less than a 2% Evangelical Bible-believing presence. To read more about the work CCI is doing in Nepal, go to https://lnkd.in/eTfVEMn6
