Train a leader. Reach a village. Change the world.
95% of pastors in the global south have no biblical training. We train national leaders and certified instructors called Timothys who take that training to village pastors across 44 countries. Every dollar you give multiplies.

You want your giving to produce lasting Kingdom fruit - not disappear into overhead. You need a partner where every dollar multiplies.
You have teaching gifts that could equip hundreds of pastors - but you haven’t found a clear path to put them to work globally.
Your congregation gives faithfully to missions - but it’s hard to find a partner where you can see measurable, multiplying impact.
Who We Are
“We minimize our role and lift up the calling and capacity of national leaders to strengthen the church in their countries. The heroes are the pastors, the national partners, and the Timothys who carry the training to villages we will never reach.”

The Transformation

| Pastors isolated and distrustful | → | Networks collaborating and supporting each other |
| Syncretism with previous religion | → | Clear biblical worldview |
| “Try harder” moralistic sermons | → | Grace-centered, Christ-exalting teaching |
| Untrained leaders, no resources | → | Equipped with 12–15 field-tested courses |
| Dependent on outside organizations | → | Self-sustaining training networks |
From the Field
In a predominantly Muslim town, Musa was being prepared to become an Imam. Recurring dreams featuring “I am the way, and the truth, and the life” led him to Christ. His father expelled him.
Through ELI’s training, Musa has trained 50+ pastors, developed 12 certified instructors, built a school for 300+ children, and became the first Christian Town Chief in his hometown.
Read Musa’s Full Story →“The training was an answer to my prayers. ELI’s program brought light to my ministry by teaching me how to study the Bible deeply.”
“Before this training, I couldn’t plan a proper sermon. Now I have clearer understanding of the doctrines of God, Christ, the Holy Spirit.”
Without You
Without trained pastors, the prosperity gospel fills the void. Syncretism replaces sound theology. Churches grow in number but not in depth.
Every day that passes, more pastors preach without the training to faithfully shepherd their people. The 95% isn’t just a number - it represents millions of believers led by pastors who have never been equipped to rightly handle the Word of God.
The need won’t wait. But neither does multiplication.
