2011 TPI Missions Trip –
East/Central/Southern
Training Pastors International is planning to conduct
five pastoral
training institutes for African pastors during July
and August. (Please see the schedule below). We presently have
200 to 300 pastors planning to attend these institutes in five
different countries. We are expecting 1200 total pastors who
want to receive the training.
Once this summer's institutes are underway you can follow our progress on our blog.


Who We Are:
Training Pastors International (TPI) is an international
ministry training program devoted to training national pastors
throughout the world. It started in the Fall of 2000 in response
to the enormous need of providing ministry training to pastors
in less-developed countries of the world.
Why We Do It: There are more than two million
pastors in the Two-Thirds World and most of them (95%) have been
evangelized and established as pastors in churches without any
opportunity for further ministry training. The church can only
advance as far as its leaders can take it, and in many cases in
undeveloped countries, the church is lacking not in evangelism
or in church planting, but in the training of its pastors.
What We Teach: TPI focuses on training national
pastors in Bible and theology, expository preaching, prayer and
worship, evangelism and discipleship, church planting,
leadership development, pastoral ministries, and missionary
outreach.
How We Do It: The strategy of TPI is to seek to
partner with individuals and churches in the United States that
are interested in helping to train pastors around the world. The
philosophy of training of TPI involves taking U.S. pastors on
short-term mission trips and going to strategic locations around
the world with the purpose of establishing ministry training
centers for the equipping of international pastors
What We Seek to Do: The main purpose of the
training program is to train as many pastors non-formally as
possible in each country with the ultimate goal that every
church would have a trained pastoral leader. This goal involves
the following three objectives: The Gospel for every
person, A Church for every
people, A Trained Pastoral
Leader for every church
