LIGHT OF HOPE GLOBAL MINISTRIES
CONNEXIONS LEADERSHIP TRAINING INSTITUTE (CLTI)
ConneXions Leadership Training Institute (CLTI) is one of the ministries of the LOH Global Ministries. The vision for this training program was birthed 2000 as a result of seeing the need for training among the Christian leaders in Africa amidst an alarming growth of the church. LOH Global Ministries is working with over 20 different indigenous church movements in Africa.
THE NEED
In Africa, there are too few trained leaders to disciple the masses of people coming to Christ and entering the Church. No other continent has seen the growth of Christianity like Africa. Things have changed. Currently, Africa has the highest ratio of evangelicals to general population of any continent. By 1990, the number of evangelical Christians had risen to 275 million (57.3% of the total population).
Along with the rapid expansion of Christianity, there has come a need for trained leadership. It is forecasted that there will be an average of 6.5 million new believers each year in Africa alone, or the equivalent of 26,000 congregations of 250 believers each. There is, therefore, a clear and urgent need to develop and implement relevant life changing training that will equip the one and half million healthy leaders in the local churches to disciple the millions of people that are coming to Christ. In a nutshell, today’s crisis in African Church can be summarized in the following statement: “sheep without a Shepherd.” The church is growing faster than its leadership. The existing traditional training institutes are not developing real health leaders who can match this present growth of the church. Therefore, such rapid growth and expansion calls for urgent changes in the training paradigm because the present paradigm has not produced healthy leaders to match the rapid growing churches in East Africa
OUR VISION
To develop Healthy Leaders to meet the demands of the rapidly growing churches in East Africa
