Addis Ababa is a city of 5,000,000 people with a land area similar to Chicago. There are faithful evangelical colleges and seminaries in Addis, as well as a lot of informal missions’ activity. TLI's non-formal training site helps meet the need for those many pastors for whom formal training remains inaccessible and informal training is not sufficient. Currently, TLI, in partnership with local leaders in Addis, gathers 60 pastors and church leaders together for a structured, intensive study of God's Word. The goal is to better equip Addis leaders with the tools necessary to understand and communicate the Word of God in their congregations.

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.
