I Love Working at TLI – Training Leaders International – Uganda and Minneapolis

I have just returned from a week in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and a week in Tororo, Uganda, training pastors and church leaders. We taught skills for studying, teaching, and preaching from the Bible.

In my role of coordinating member care at TLI, I travel one week every month to Minneapolis. It has been a real privilege for me: facilitating weekly prayer groups, having lunch and dinner meetings, and learning about the extended families of the men and women who make TLI possible.

Here are some highlights from June – August.

Praying before class begins.

Interested in training pastors in Africa? This is an excellent book to start familiarizing yourself with the topic. Western educational methods do not necessarily work in Africa.

Hanging out with Spiderman on Labor Day. That’s not bat guano on his head, it’s silly string.

Thank you for praying, giving, and reading. The students are learning and growing. We have started to select members from the first cohort to team teach a second group in 2027. It is exciting to pass along the skills using Paul’s exhortation, 2 Timothy 2:2 .
