First Love Bible College offers free theology classes to pastors and church leaders overseas.
We are offering free theology classes to pastors and church leaders currently in two locations in Pakistan. Partners in Africa have asked for the same curriculum in as many as 15 locations in Uganda and S. Africa.
The 90-minute classes are taught weekly via Zoom. Several students recite what they learn at the end of the weekly session and each semester concludes with a written final exam. Students are currently trained without textbooks since they are either not available in their language or beyond their financial reach.
Our Professor, Ethan Fleischer, is a PhD student studying Apologetics at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. David Carothers who has started his doctoral thesis on Church Revitalization assists in teaching on the topics of discipleship and pastoral care. It will take the typical student three years to finish our core classes. As electives become available, they will also be taught at no cost.
Current need. In order to add a site, we have initial equipment needs to receive the live teaching. Many locations do not have electricity or reliable power. Some sites will require a generator, some will need a projector, others due to the remote location will have students gather around several tablets for instruction. The cost of each site is approximately $800 for equipment and $100 a month for instruction.
We are looking for site sponsors. $2,400 will launch a site and provide instruction for one year. Subsequent years will cost $1200-$1500 a year.
