Church Planting Training in Rwanda

Training Manual for Church Planting Essentials

Dynamic Church Planting International has a vision to equip leaders to plant 5 million dynamic churches to reach the world for Christ. In June of 2012,  I (Matt)  became a certified trainer with DCPI and just a few weeks ago I completed my training to be certified as a Master Trainer with DCPI. This now means that in addition to doing trainings for church planters, I can certify trainers to help DCPI reach their global vision of helping church planters start 5 million dynamic churches. 

One of the things that we teach in our training is that church planting is the best thing you will ever do and the hardest thing you will ever do. Having being a part of helping plant two different churches in the United States, I will say that is absolutely true. 

Here in Rwanda there are lots of pastors that want to start churches but they have no training. This is why DCPI exists! We are so thankful that we can help pastors here in Rwanda and all over East Africa by providing free training. There is a denomination of Baptist churches that I am working with to provide this training. They have over 300 churches in Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. We also have contacts in Mozambique and Kenya that want me to come and provide training there as well. God is opening up SO MANY doors for ministry with DCPI for us here. Thank you for all of you who are praying for this training that will begin on Monday of next week. This first training will be for 25 key leaders within these churches. We will then make a training calendar to go all over East Africa to do training in 3 different tracks that I am certified to teach: Church Planting Essentials, Churches Planting Churches and Becoming a Mentor. 

The training we provide is free to the participants, but it does cost us some money out of our personal funds. The cost of a training for 25 people is about $200. This includes a printed manual and the cost of providing a meal each day for each pastor during the training. If you would like to help defray the cost of this for us, you can click on the link below and donate.

Next week we will post pictures and stories and updates from the training. We will introduce you to some of these leaders and their stories of faith and how God is working in their lives. 

Grace and Peace to you,
