The conference facilitates sharing among participants on Scripture engagement experiences, skills, and strategies. Participants bring the knowledge they gain back to others in their society or organization. It enhances staff capacity for effective ministry work in their various settings.

Your gifts help fund the airfare to and from Kenya, transportation (taxis, boats, etc), accommodation, and fees for the 10-day conference.

Empower A Local Leader

We believe that every community should have the chance to read the Bible in the language they know best, led by people they trust and respect. Your financial gifts and prayers enable us to help a leader in Sierra Leone bring God’s Word into the many languages of their people.

  1. Elevate expertise in Scripture engagement: comprehensive training enhances leader’s ability to effectively communicate Scripture truths within the cultural context of Sierra Leone.
  2. Strengthen community transformation: provide the tools and knowledge necessary to promote hope, life, and transformation.
  3. Expand impact through collaborative learning: participants exchange knowledge, enabling participants to share their experience with peers at home, multiplying the impact of initiatives across Sierra Leone.
