Training Bible School - DIRECTORS
“Welcome to my world. Won’t you come on
in?”
Do you remember the late Jim Reeves singing those
words? May I borrow those words to welcome every visitor to the
ATBS website. We love having the opportunity to show and tell about
African Training Bible School.
We live in a world where sin goes on unabated and unchallenged.
The Apostle Paul recognized that same condition in his day over
two thousand years ago, Galatians 1:4. In the aftermath of unrestrained
immorality, the people of Africa are ravaged by AIDS and poverty.
The middle generation has almost entirely disappeared. Children
are left as orphans. Aging grandparents have to fill the breech
to care for the little victims. Some are left on the streets to
die or become vagabonds. Sin hurts. Sin destroys. Many other sins
are committed by the local people who don’t know any better.
They don’t know Jesus or His church. The message of salvation
hasn’t come to them yet. They don’t know that “the
wages of sin is death,” Romans 6:23.
This is precisely the reason why African Training
Bible school was established. A hand full of foreign missionaries
could never reach all the lost of the land without training many
local disciples to preach the gospel to them, they faced many gaps
that they could not fill ,languages ,food and weather ., 2 Timothy
2:2.
God has granted us a place and a time for getting
dedicated people trained to serve in the Kingdom of God.
Wont you join hands with us to reach many?
