Makeni is one of the largest cities in Sierra Leone, located in the center of the country. In this majority Muslim country there are few opportunities for theological education, and the false prosperity gospel has taken firm root in most churches. Our desire is to equip these church leaders, educational professionals, and students, to understand the Bible as it was written and teach their congregations to live for Christ. The prosperity gospel has taken firm root in the churches around Makeni, as well as most of sub-Saharan Africa. Our desire as we train our students in biblical exposition is to enable them to see the error of this false gospel. We train about 35 students and all the training is in English. No translation needed!
