Training and Education
Francophone Africa Regional Hub
In a part of the world dominated by instability, poverty, and an Islamic worldview, the Lord is at work calling people to himself. The church needs rural pastors and church planters who are deeply formed in the Word and ways of Jesus. Training priorities include Bible, theology and leadership knowledge, spiritual formation, and 'tent-making' skills.
Recent Hub Activities:
Church planters from countries returned through our residential church planter training program. After training, they returned to spread the gospel and establish churches in some of the region’s most difficult and resistant contexts.
Tent-maker training provided in both Senegal and Chad provides participants with practical tools to mobilize resources for God’s mission to the unreached.
Future Hub Plans:
Establish a Regional Research Center to serve the church and determine future training priorities. Targeted research is needed to better understand the state of the church and its most pressing needs, to shape current training initiatives around actual needs, to identify gaps in current approaches, and to mobilize partners to join the work.
Training and Education
Anglophone Africa Regional Hub
The church in Sub-Saharan Africa will represent 40% of the world’s Christians by 2050 but, according to research, 95% of its leaders are not sufficiently trained. Specific needs include mentoring emerging leaders, upskilling current leaders to meet new ministry challenges, promoting women in theological education, and fostering collaboration between churches and seminaries.
Recent Hub Activities:
Heads of school and women faculty from 33 seminaries designed action plans for promoting women in theological education.
Workshops across the continent built capacity for online learning and transformational education at theological schools.
Facilitated a consortium of churches and 4 seminaries in Sierra Leone to develop a contextual ministry training course now reaching 2000 rural pastors.
Consulted with 20 faculty members at a partner seminary on organizational and professional growth.
Future Hub Plans:
Mentorship program for emerging leaders in theological education.
Workshops for rural pastors in the areas of leadership, administration, discipleship, counseling and preaching.
Consultation with church leaders to verify research on the state of the church and leadership training needs in Africa.
Institutes for Excellence in East and West Africa addressing collaborative networks and leader development.
Over the years, I've been allowed to live and serve in drastically different contexts and countries, deeply experience the richness of different views and cultures, and see the gospel at work. In each place, God has graciously provided Mesa Global leadership that has guided, mentored, and helped me thrive in an environment where I can not only discover my own gifts but bring them to the table and see them used to glorify God's name.
Senegal
Joining Mesa Global has been a great experience. They respond within hours of sending an email! They are flexible when it comes to unique individual requirements! Mesa Global also wants to make sure that their missionaries are well equipped before going to the field and provide a training for a month and a half in North Carolina. After completing the training and funding process, Mesa Global is quick to send their missionaries to the field, well prepared for what's ahead!
Uganda
Through a series of events, God redirected our steps to Uganda in 2015 and Mesa Global was there walking beside us all the way. This is now our ninth year here in Uganda and we simply couldn't do it without the support of a strong sending organization. God's grace and Mesa Global have helped us build endurance and perseverance to face the rigors of serving cross-culturally.
