What a gift to provide training in Sierra Leone, West Africa! After a year of planning and raising funds to gather 60 pastors and church leaders, Apollos Training International was able to host The Sierra Leone Theological Consortium. Unfortunately, I was not able to attend personally because I hadn’t fully recovered enough from the parasite infection I’ve been fighting. By the grace of God, though, two leaders flew into Sierra Leone from other countries in Africa and did a tremendous job leading and serving these pastors. Through our partnership with Christian Book Outreach, we were able to provide 100 Africa Study Bibles for those who attended as well as some additional Sierra Leonean pastors. The participants are grateful for the training and eager for more, and I am very eager to attend the next Consortium and be with them in person!
“What we deemed as leadership before was selfish leadership, but now we are able to understand that leadership that is Christian is selfless. That is what we will call servant leadership.” – Church leader from Sierra Leone
