Botolan, Philippines

In partnership with a Filipino leader who works to train rural "village" pastors, TLI will begin a new, non-formal training location on the northern island of Luzon just a few hours outside of Manila. New Tribes Philippines has a camp near Olongapo used for training their national and international missionaries, with dorms and classrooms that will host our training. The pastors who will participate in the classes come from rural locations throughout the island of Luzon. They are already in pastoral ministry roles but have little or no theological education.

CURRICULUM

Course 5 - Poetry (Psalms)

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Course 5 equips the trainees to understand poetry accurately and to communicate it clearly and relevantly. Psalms has been chosen as a representative of this genre. Sample psalms will be the focus (e.g., lament, thanksgiving, imprecation, royal/messianic, Ps. 78).

The vision of Training Leaders International brings biblical and theological content to the people best positioned to pass it on to others. Most forms of short-term mission are fraught with troubling downsides, but this pattern of transferring serious theological nourishment is enriching both parties to the glory of God.
