Development Bible School
Bible School
The love of God is impacting Mozambique, and people are responding with a desire to give their lives in ministry. The people are desperate to encounter God and preach this Gospel that burns like fire. In response to this need, we have poured our hearts and resources into a Bible school that focuses on raising up pastors who have a heart to minister in their native land. The students are given opportunities to serve the community and minister God's powerful love.
Our desire is for Jesus to completely take control of this school and the lives of these students. We train them to take up the adventure of establishing churches in the bush. We can testify of what God is doing in and through these students and pastors, "The blind see, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor" (Matt. 11:5).
We bring hundreds of pastors to each of our five bible schools for three months a year for four years, running three sessions a year for different pastors. Then we offer a fifth-year Mozambican missions school for specially mature, called and anointed leaders. Pastors are trained in classes ranging from Old and New Testament, hermeneutics, church planting, children's ministry, the Holy Spirit, prayer, leadership and more.
During their stay at the school, the students help the community with various construction projects while we provide them food and lodging. Upon completion, we send the students home with clothing and with money to buy seed to see their farms grow. Our goal is to equip these students to be leaders, filled with the Holy Spirit and knowledge of the Word, so they can take the Gospel across Mozambique and beyond. The Bible school program costs $210 per year per student.
