WHAT WE DO:

Afmin Leadership Institute

Our Strategy

We want to see African pastors grow in their own spirituality, character development and competency in knowledge, understanding and application of the Bible. Our pastors will also reproduce themselves in at least ten other untrained church leaders and be empowered to face the challenges of African contextual issues such as AIDS, poverty, etc.

	72% of all Africans are below the age of 25!
	The Church in Africa is growing at a rate of 6 million new converts each year.
	There is a great need for trained, equipped pastors and leaders!

AFMIN is helping to meet that need! Since 1993, AFMIN has been training thousands of African pastors, evangelists, and church leaders through our program of multiplication impact.

The future of the Church in Africa will be determined by its ability to effectively train and mobilize Godly leaders.

South Africa Theological Seminary (SATS) has entered into a relationship with AFMIN, whereby you can complete AFMIN’s Advanced Pastoral Training School, and enter directly into a one-year distance study program where they can earn a accredited B.Th degree from South African Theological Seminary.
