Our very first training video from AiAfrica: "Your First Steps with AI for Ministry (A Tool, Not a Guide)."

This practical session dives into how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can serve as a powerful tool to enhance your ministry efforts: from saving time to boosting communication.

We specifically address common questions and concerns, emphasising that AI is a helpful assistant, not a spiritual guide. It's about empowering you in your God-given calling!

“Crisis is more personal than it is collective, because we are all responding to crises in a unique and different way..."

FTLT: Sub-Saharan African Church's Crisis Response Explore FTLT's Africa Research Project (2024-2026), focusing on the Church's response to crises in sub-Saharan Africa, fostering leadership and resilience.

We completed our time here in Tanzania and are heading towards Kenya on Sunday morning.
We have updated the Tanzania Report page and included reports from Zanzibar, Dar es Salaam, and Arusha, as well as an overall report on the discussions we had in Tanzania.

Report on the Discussions Held in Tanzania (The response of the Church to Crises) This report provides a detailed account of the discussions held during the gatherings in Zanzibar, Dar es Salaam, and Arusha, Tanzania.

Today, I listened to a woman from a small village outside Arusha, Tanzania, share how she finds encouragement from the Bible story of Cain and Abel. Over the past 43 days, we’ve heard many stories of inspiration and biblical reflections, but this one stood out—no one had ever used Cain and Abel as a source of encouragement. Intrigued, I asked her to explain what she learns from the story and how it encourages her. Though her interpretation might raise theological questions, her words left me speechless: "When I am in a crisis, I always search for the good in spite of the crisis, and then I offer that to God, as it is the best I have."

We finally have the page setup and loaded with all the reports for Zambia 💪🥇
