Questions
Before you invite us
A local church, a denomination, a Bible college or a Christian organisation. GTI first builds a partnership with the local church leadership, and participants are usually selected through them so the training strengthens the church that is already there.
Asking costs nothing. GTI prayerfully raises funds to cover the cost of workshops, materials, meals and translation, because pastors and lay leaders often serve without a salary. Where a church is able to share the cost, we gladly work that out together — but cost is never a reason to say no.
Equip the Church groups are usually around twenty people, so that everyone can take part and be known. Larger gatherings — a teaching day or a conference — work well too. Tell us roughly how many you expect and we will shape the programme around them.
Yes. GTI’s mobile workshops are designed to go to where gospel workers already serve — including rural and hard-to-reach settings — and we seek translators so that language is never a barrier to learning.
That is completely normal — send the form anyway and choose “Not sure yet” for timing. An expression of interest helps GTI plan where the first workshops go, and you are under no obligation when a date is proposed.
Could you help bring training to a church?
Whether you host a workshop, pray for the ministry or give towards a bursary, you are part of equipping faithful teachers across South Sudan.
