Equipping biblical communicators, so every culture hears God’s voice

AFRICA

With God’s enabling, CrossTalk Global is working to equip biblical communicators across the content of Africa, beginning in Mumbasa, Kenya in July 2018! Our hope is to come alongside some of the estimated 80% of pastors who serve local churches without any training. Our goal is to strengthen the church across Africa by equipping culturally relevant biblical communicators, who can then equip other pastors to do the same.

Please pray for CrossTalk Global and consider a gift to support this vital work!

I thank God for the eighteen students who have committed themselves to growing as biblical communicators... As such, I cannot wait to see what God will do through this first group of students as they unleash the transforming power of God through the proclamation of his word.

I sincerely appreciate this course and all the classes. I like the big idea of this course which is, surely, that every natural unit of the Bible has a big idea. I enjoyed you that you, Kent, taught us what to do, showed us how to do it and encouraged us to keep doing this – preaching God’s word in today’s world. I appreciate the work you did here and can’t wait for next year to come. May God bless you!

P.S. In this two weeks I learned more about preaching and how to preach than I learned in six years of studying theology. Thank you.
