Pastor Job and Pastor Orlando invited TLI to partner with their church (La Iglesia Cristiana por la Gracia de Dios) to equip pastors and church leaders in San Miguel in how to study and preach the word of God faithfully. They know that the church of Christ can only grow in maturity when the congregation is being taught the word of God faithfully. To this end, they desire to be used by the Lord to train pastors and ministry leaders to faithfully carry out their calling as shepherds and teachers of the word of God.

CURRICULUM
Course 2: Knowing the Bible's StoryCOURSE DESCRIPTION
Course 2 explores the general flow of Christ-centered redemptive history from Genesis to Revelation. Major themes that appear throughout—each including aspects of continuity and discontinuity—are God’s kingdom, covenants, people, kingship, priesthood, prophetic ministry, and mission. Each theme is embedded within Scripture’s testimony to the fundamental storyline of God’s plan to reconcile the world to himself under Christ’s kingship for his glory. The point of the whole course is to equip the trainees to answer the hermeneutical Question 2: How does it fit in the Bible? The issue of the Bible’s whole story is hermeneutically potent and foundational to handling individual texts and passages rightly.
