African Pastor Training (07.22)
TRAINING NEW PASTORS!
This July, Andrew and Bob traveled to Zanzibar, a resort island part of Tanzania. The host pastor had been through and taught BTCP and was excited to be connected with CCBob to spread the training there. There are 1.9 million people there and over 90% Muslim. Then we took a boat to Dar es Salaam. We did a workshop with 5 pastors from major cities in Tanzania who are doing the training. 4 of those leaders came by bus 12-18 hours to join us. We discussed how to continue to expand the training in this very large country. We had a pastor from Malawi travel 3 days by bus to join us. He represents 40 churches in his city. Andrew is making plans to help them get started with the classes. We also trained 5 new teachers. Then we traveled to Kigali, Rwanda. We met with 6 of the teachers who are doing the training and 6 new teachers. Two pastors from Burundi who are doing the first course came as well as a pastor from DRC (Congo) who is planning to start in September. Pastor Protais, our nation director for Rwanda/Burundi will assist him.
