Training is held at the Lead Global Training Center in the Kasarani-Ruaraka area of Nairobi. Room and board are available on-site. Prices vary, and scholarships are available. Please register your interest at the appropriate link below for further details.
All trainings are provided by Christ-followers who adhere to baptistic theology and are consistent with the tenets expressed in the Baptist Faith and Message.
CROSS-CULTURAL MISSIONS:
-
- We believe God’s heart is to see His name known and worshiped in every corner of the world.
-
- We believe every follower of Jesus is qualified and expected to testify about Him to those whom God has placed in our sphere of influence.
-
- We believe this means every follower of Jesus must cross cultural bridges at some point, so the Good News does not stay just with those people who are like us.
-
- We believe this means God’s Spirit is already at work among His people here in East Africa to call some out for ministry among the nations.
We desire to see African churches sending African missionaries to the ends of the earth. Let us come along beside you and share what we have learned over decades of experience working cross-culturally.
We are not a sending agency, nor can we fund your ministry. But what we can do is to teach you to be a good learner of culture—how to ask the right questions, listen to and understand the answers, and learn how to bridge cultural divides for the sake of Jesus.
You will learn the necessity of abiding in Christ as you focus on each of the six components of the Missionary Task: entry, evangelism, discipleship, church planting, leadership development, and exit to partnership.
The training is open for men and women; pastors, church leaders, and church members – We all have a role to play!

EXPLORE THE BIBLE
The Bible can sometimes be difficult to read and understand. But there are some simple tools that can help you better hear what God is saying through His Word.
The fancy word for this is Hermeneutics…the art and science of proper interpretation of Biblical texts. Think of this as getting the right “glasses” you need to see the true meaning of Scripture more clearly. So join us for this one-day conference.
*You will learn about the different genres of Scripture, because historical passages should be read differently from poetry; the letters of the apostles, differently from prophecy
*You will learn to look at the verse within a passage, the passage within the chapter, and the chapter within the book because context matters
*You will learn to look at the author of the book and the speaker of the passage, to better evaluate whether we’re supposed to FOLLOW or FLEE from the example of the speaker
You will be better prepared to study the Bible during your personal time with God; better prepared to develop devotionals and Sunday School lessons; better prepared to “correctly handle the word of truth.” (2Tim 2:15)
All theology will align with the Baptist Faith and Message, 2000, accessible here: Baptist Faith and Message 2000 – The Baptist Faith and Message
Breakfast and lunch are provided at the Lead Global Training Center in the Kasarani-Ruaraka area of Nairobi

EXPLORE THE CALL – A Missions Conference
What does the call to missions look like? What is the work of a missionary? What must the character of a missionary be?
We will answer these questions and more with an in-depth Bible Study. You will learn what God says about cross-cultural ministry and His expectation to get the Good News to all nations, tribes, people, and languages (Rev 7:9).
This is a free 1-day conference, with breakfast and lunch included. We will discuss the next steps to help you fulfill God’s call on your life if that call includes cross-cultural ministry.
