Training Pastors International
Partnering with churches and people to train
national pastors
around the world
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:
Ø
The Gospel for every person
Ø
A Church for every people
Ø
A Trained Pastoral Leader for every church

The Great Commission
Matthew 28:18-20
18 And Jesus came up and
spoke to them, saying,
"All
authority is given unto Me in heaven and on earth.
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father and the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you
always, even to the end of the age."
