2 Timothy 3:17
Africa, the last Christian continent on Earth, is under attack from within and without. Over 25% of African countries have either passed or have pending legislation to close churches if pastors do not have a bachelors degree. Rwanda has already closed over 10,000 churches. We need to get some of those churches back open. In Botswana, we met with a high-ranking government official who is a Christian. He told us, “Pastors here don’t know what it coming. It is do or die time for our churches, and pastors need to enroll now.”
In addition to the legislation, radical extremists and governments are persecuting the Church and Christians. Our students send us heartbreaking photos asking for prayer. We can’t stand by and do nothing.
THIS YEAR, the Fully Equipped Bible Institute is committed to providing academic scholarships to pastors in eight of the at-risk African nations. Our goal is to sponsor at least ten pastors in each nation for a total of eighty four-year Biblical and Theological studies bachelors degree academic scholarships. The cost each month is $10,000 dollars, which adds up to $120,000 dollars a year, or $480,000 for the four year degree program. It is a big commitment, but we serve an even bigger God. We will sponsor more pastors in the other at-risk countries if God provides the funds, as the need is so urgent.
Sponsor one of the eight at-risk nations! The monthly, tax-deductible full scholarship NATION sponsor provides ten pastors residing in one of eight at-risk nations with the high quality theological and practical training needed to be “fully equipped for every good work” . In many instances, the bachelor’s degree the pastor earns will protect against government closure of churches.
The monthly, tax-deductible full scholarship sponsorship provides two pastors residing in one of the eight at-risk nation with the high quality theological and practical training needed to be “fully equipped for every good work” , including biblically strengthening his congregation in very difficult circumstances. In many instances, the bachelor’s degree the pastor earns will protect against government closure of churches
Many pastors in developing nations earn $10 – $20 dollars per month. Rural pastors are also paid with chickens, eggs, and sometimes even a goat. Your monthly tax-deductible gift covers tuition costs to biblically and practically equip one pastor in an at-risk nation “for every good work” . It will also help protect the church from government closure as the pastor earns a bachelor’s degree because of the economic barriers you have broken with your generous and faithful scholarship sponsorship.
Every dollar counts to reach our goal of sponsoring 80 pastors in 8 at-risk nations. Your monthly tax-deductible gift will help open the doors to equip a pastor “for every good work” and help protect a church from government closure as the pastor earns a bachelor’s degree that would otherwise be impossible to achieve without the doors your generous and faithful scholarship sponsorship will open.
Faithfully and generously give your very best gift of monthly support, no matter the dollar amount. God knows, and He rewards generosity. Your monthly tax-deductible gift will be carefully stewarded to ensure every dollar donated has maximum ministry impact for pastors, churches, nations, and Africa, the last Christian continent on earth. Your gift is the seed that is sown that will yield a plentiful Kingdom harvest.
Your Ministry Maker one-time generous gift of any amount will be directed where the need is the greatest. You will help the Fully Equipped Bible Institute expand our footprint into the eighteen at-risk African nations and other developing at-risk nations where pastors are serving in difficult and dangerous circumstances. We pray for funding to expand into the most challenging nations in order to fully equip pastors and protect churches.

The Fully Equipped Bible Institute is committed to equipping and resourcing pastors and Christian leaders around the globe. In many under developed nations, a college education is simply out of reach financially. Purchasing textbooks is also not possible. In many instances, a personal computer or even a tablet is not a reality. Some of our students go to school on their phones with limited internet access.
Almost ALL of our students serve in difficult and dangerous locations. Almost ALL are experiencing some form of persecution. Some are in hiding as people are murdered around them. Others have had their churches burned or bulldozed. Yet they courageously and faithfully show up for class, and view it as a source of strengthening so that they can biblically lead their congregations in the face of persecution. Please pray for them. Become a Fully Equipped Bible Institute Prayer Partner HERE.
If you have been financially blessed, it is for the purpose of being a blessing! Please pray about the role God would have you play in equipping Christian leaders around the globe.
