TRINITY BIBLICAL INSTITUTE A Ministry of Trinity Center for World Mission
Making Disciples in East Africa
What is the greatest need in missions today? Weymann Lee of Training Leaders International
estimates that there are about 5 million pastors outside the U.S., 85% of whom “have very little to
no solid theological training or have no access to it.” To put that in perspective numerically,
Lee cites the following:
* The ratio of theologically trained pastors to people in the U.S.: 1:230 * The ratio of theologically trained pastors to people outside the U.S.: 1:450,000
Lee has concluded that “the number one need and request from missionaries, churches and
pastors outside the U.S. is for pastoral and leadership training.”
This is why Trinity Center for World Mission plans to establish branches of Trinity Biblical
Institute throughout East Africa.
Our Mission Statement: The purpose of Trinity Biblical Institute is to train and equip servant leaders
of the Triune God for ministry in East Africa. TBI is a place to prepare Christian leaders to teach and
model the wonderful gospel of God’s grace.
Our Challenge: Most pastors in East Africa have little or no Biblical training. Most people who have confessed Christ in East Africa have never been discipled. We desire to train Christian leaders in East Africa who will plant many more churches. To further train our students and others, we are attempting to establish a radio ministry in each East African Country. Our first radio station is in Eastern Uganda. Our Vision Statement: Jesus said to the disciples in Matthew 28:19-20, “Therefore go and make
disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you...” Our task is to make disciples of
Jesus Christ, disciples who understand the Scripture and communicate the gospel of Christ with
wisdom and passion. We want to provide training for a future generation of African pastors and
leaders. We want to teach them to obey all that Christ has commanded. We desire to help raise up a
generation of preachers who have been overwhelmed by the Gospel of Grace. We want to train
students who believe and propagate the great doctrines of the Reformation. We want to equip faithful
evangelists, pastor-teachers, and servants who will lead mature churches.
Specifically, we are committed to establishing branches of Trinity Biblical Institute and a radio station
in each open country of East Africa. Our desire is to present the Gospel, make disciples in each
country in East Africa, train them and help them plant Christ-centered churches. In short, we want to
impact eight countries in East Africa and bring the Gospel to 300,000,000 people.

TBI has approximately 1400 registered students in its six branches in East Africa. At the present time we are not holding classes in South Sudan due to a civil war centered in Juba. (Note: in each branch, we have students who cannot attend each course because of travel
expenses, planting or harvest season, or other pressing needs. Many new students continue to hear about TBI in each area.)

Progress in 2016: As we go forward to the nations of East Africa, we are constructing a central
headquarters with a training facility large enough for 500 students at one time. The campus includes
a kitchen, and a guest house for our faculty from the US and Africa. These facilities will also be used
for TCWM offices, a library, a study center, the training of church officers, discipleship, retreats, TBI
classes, and specialized classes for pastors and for women. At present we need $81,000 to construct a classroom building/pavilion that will hold 500 students. One of the major reasons that we are building these buildings is that some countries in East Africa are now too dangerous to enter; our plan is to transport some of our students to this main campus and teach them here.

TCWM Potential Vision Countries
Burundi
Is a mountainous, fertile country on the northeast shore of Lake Tanganyika. It is slightly smaller than the state of Maryland and is located south of Rwanda and between the Democratic Republic of Congo on the West and Tanzania on the East. The capital of Bujumbura is located on the northern tip of Lake Tanganyika. The country has a population of 10.7 million of which 92.8 percent are professing Christians. Of these, the majority (about 62%) are Catholic and (about 30%) are Protestant. Muslims make up only 2.5% of the population. The Joshua Project notes there are three unreached people groups in the country made up of Arab, Gujarati, and Swahili. The total of the unreached people is 18,000 or about .02%. The CIA World Fact Book notes the population is Hutu (Bantu) 85%, Tutsi (Hamitic) 14%, Twa (Pygmy) 1%, Europeans 3,000, South Asians 2,000 The official languages are Kirundi and French, but the use of English is widespread. According to Operation World, “…the adult literacy rate is 58%, but the functional rate is lower.” They also point out that bribery “…is all but requisite for transactions of almost any nature. A 2008 survey ranked Burundi among the top states where corruption is worsening.” The CIA World Facebook states that 65% of the population is under 24 years old (0-14 years: 45.6%; 15-24 years: 19.2%).

Congo, Democratic Republic of
Is a country located in Central Africa. According to Wikipedia, “…from 1971 to 1997 it was named Zaire. The DRC borders the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, and South Sudan to the north; Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Tanzania to the east; Zambia and Angola to the south; and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. It is the second largest country in Africa by area, the largest in Sub-Saharan Africa, and the eleventh largest in the world. With a population of over 79 million, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is the most populated (French speaking country in the world), the fourth most populated nation in Africa and the nineteenth most populated country” in the world. The country rises from sea level on the Atlantic Ocean to 16,750 feet at Mt. Stanley located on the border with Uganda. The population of 67.8 million is about 92% professing Christian of which about 45% are Catholic and the rest are Protestant. The Joshua Project notes there are three unreached people groups; Arab, (22,000) who speak North Levantine Arabic; South Asian (152,000) who speak Hindi; and Swahili (42000). Sixty four percent of the population is under 25 years old (0-14 years: 42.6%; 15-24 years: 21.4%).

Ethiopia
According to Operation World, is a “…fertile, mountain plateau surrounded by the drought-prone lowlands and deserts of the Red Sea coast; borders on Eritrea, Somalia, Kenya and Sudan. Landlocked since the secession of Eritrea on its North border.” It is bordered on the West by Sudan and South Sudan, on the East by Somalia, and on the South by Kenya. It is slightly smaller than twice the size of the state of Texas. The official language is Amharic and the “…majority of the population are able to speak it; English (is) widely taught.” Ethiopia has a population of 99 million made up from 112 people groups. The largest religion is Christianity (according to The Joshua Project about 60.1%). Although 60% are professing Christians, only about 27% are Protestant. The rest are Catholic or Orthodox. Islam accounts for 34% of the population. Of the 112 people groups in Ethiopia, The Joshua Project states that 31 (27.7%) are considered to be Unreached People Groups. These include the Afar, Allaaba, Arab Sudanese. Arab Yemeni, Arbore, Argobba, Berta, Birale, Chara, Daasanach, Garre, Gujarati Indo-Pakistani, Harmer-Banna, Harari, Karo, Kebena, Oromo Borana, Oromo Gujji, Oromo Karrayu, Oromo Wallo, Oromo Yayyu. Shabo, Silti, Somali, Surma Suri, Taposa, Tsamai, Turkana, Weyto, Wolane, and Zayse. Operation World points out “Leadership training is identified as a major reason that the churches’ potential is unfulfilled. The majority of church leaders have one year or less of training. Leadership is not meeting the demands (neither in numbers nor in quality) placed on it…” The CIA World Facebook notes that sixty-four percent of the population is under 25 years old (0-14 years: 44%; 15-24 years: 20%)

Kenya
Is an East African country which is located between the Indian Ocean on the east and Lake Victoria on the west. It lies between Ethiopia and Somalia on the north and Tanzania on the South. The country of Uganda is the western border of Kenya. the country is about five times the size of Ohio or slightly more than twice the size of Nevada. The country rises from sea level at the Indian Ocean to the second highest point in Africa, Mt. Kenya at 5199 meters or 17057 feet. The capital and largest city (3.768 million) is Nairobi in the south central part of the county. The second largest city is Mombasa (1.068 million) located on the southern coast. The official language of the population of 45 million is both English and Kiswahili.
Most people live in the fertile plateaus of the south and west. The largest people group are the Kikuyu which make up 22% of the population. A large percentage of the people identify as Christian (82.5%). The make up of those self-identifying as Christian is Protestant 47.4%, Catholic 23.3%, other 11.8%. Muslims make up 11.1% of the population. Although almost half of the people consider themselves Christian, Operation World points out
“Nominalism is a major issue, even among evangelicals/Pentecostals. Attendance nationally is only 7%, less than one-tenth of all Christians. Establishing effective means of discipleship is a huge need as increasing numbers associate themselves with the Church, yet with no true spiritual growth in their lives.”
Since there are more than 80,000 congregations (according to Operation World), there is a huge need for trained leaders.
Sixty percent of the people are under 25 years old (0-14 years: 42.1%; 15-24 years: 18.7%). So children and youth ministries are vitally important.
Operation World points out that “Islam is still a relatively small minority, but it is growing in size and ambition. Muslims seek to Islamize the regions where they are prevalent, to implement shari’a law, to increase their presence in civil services and the government and to convert non-Muslims through financial inducements. Christian-Muslim tension is at an unprecedented level, and violent outbreaks are increasingly common. Although there are many converts from Islam to Christianity, they are subject to harassment, persecution and violence.”

Rwanda
Rwanda, a former Belgian colony, is a Central African country located between Tanzania on the east and the Democratic Republic of the Congo on the west. It is between Uganda on the north and Burundi on the south. The country is slightly smaller than the state of Maryland.
The capital and largest city is Kigali, population 940,000. According to the CIA, World Factbook, “Rwanda is a rural country with about 90% of the population engaged in subsistence agriculture and some mineral and agro-processing. Tourism, minerals, coffee and tea are Rwanda's main sources of foreign exchange…a significant percent of the population (45%) still live below the official poverty line…Despite Rwanda's fertile ecosystem, food production often does not keep pace with demand, requiring food imports. (Rwanda is) Africa’s most densely populated country.”
The population of 12.3 million is made up of two major people groups, the Hutu (Bantu) 84% and the Tutsi (Hamitic) 15%. The majority of the population survive on subsistence farming on tiny parcels of land. Sixty one percent (61%) of the people are under 25 years old (0-14 years: 42.1%, 15-24 years: 18.9%).
The official language of Rwanda is a mixture of Kinyarwanda, French, and English. The country is transitioning to English as the official language.
There is full freedom of religion in Rwanda. Almost 90% of the people profess Christianity with a little over 5% Muslim. Of those claiming Christianity, 45% are Catholic and about 36% are Protestant.
Less than 10% of evangelical pastors have any formal theological training. Several theological colleges have a born-again presence, including the Rwanda Institute of Evangelical Theology (the encouraging result of the merger of two colleges), an Anglican college and a Pentecostal college. All face challenges…There is a dearth of good Bible study aids, and the government’s decision to rapidly transition from French to English as the language of education will impact training for some years.
According to Operation World, “Many call themselves Christian but lack a depth of understanding of their faith.The prosperity gospel is beginning to extend its influence in Rwanda; churches need trained leaders and laity who can respond to such problematic issues.Teaching programmes such as the Alpha Course can go a long way in building up the body of Christ, which is at risk of adopting an “evangelical nominalism”.”

South Sudan
South Sudan is an East-Central Africa country which is located south of Sudan, north of Uganda and Kenya, west of Ethiopia. It is bordered on the west by the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The country is slightly smaller than the state of Texas. South Sudan was formed as a country by referendum in 2011 by declaring independence from Sudan in the north.
The result of this referendum, held in January 2011, was a vote of 98% in favor of secession. Independence was attained on 9 July 2011. Since independence South Sudan has struggled with good governance and nation building and has attempted to control rebel militia groups operating in its territory. Economic conditions have deteriorated since January 2012 when the government decided to shut down oil production following bilateral disagreements with Sudan. The terrain gradually rises from plains in the north and center to southern highlands along the border with Uganda and Kenya; the White Nile, flowing north out of the uplands of Central Africa, is the major geographic feature of the country supporting agriculture and extensive wild animal populations; The Sudd (a name derived from floating vegetation that hinders navigation) is a large swampy area of more than 100,000 sq km fed by the waters of the White Nile that dominates the center of the country. The Sudd comprises more than 15% of the total area of the country and is one of the world’s largest wetlands. The population of 11.5 million is comprised of the Dinka, a nomadic group of cattle herdsmen (35.8%) and at least 17 other smaller tribes. Sixty-five percent (65%) of the population is under 25 years old (0-14 years: 45.8%; 15-24 years: 19.9%). The capital and largest city (307,000) is Juba, located in the southern part of the country on the White Nile. The CIA World Factbook states, “Following several decades of civil war with Sudan, industry and infrastructure in landlocked South Sudan are severely underdeveloped and poverty is widespread. Subsistence agriculture provides a living for the vast majority of the population. Property rights are insecure and price signals are weak, because markets are not well organized. South Sudan has little infrastructure - approximately 250 kilometers of paved roads. Electricity is produced mostly by costly diesel generators and indoor plumbing and potable water are scarce. South Sudan depends largely on imports of goods, services, and capital - mainly from Uganda, Kenya and Sudan. Nevertheless, South Sudan does have abundant natural resources. At independence in 2011, South Sudan produced nearly three-fourths of former Sudan's total oil output of nearly a half million barrels per day. The government of South Sudan derives nearly 98% of its budget revenues from oil.”

Tanzania
Tanzania is a East African country located on the Indian Ocean between Kenya and Mozambique. The country was formed by the merger of Tanganyika and Zanzibar in 1964 after they achieved independence from Britain in 1960. The country, which includes the islands of Mafia, Pemba, and Zanzibar is slightly larger than the state of California.
The CIA World Factbook states that Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania “…is the highest point in Africa and one of only two mountains on the continent that has glaciers (the other is Mount Kenya); (Tanzania is) bordered by three of the largest lakes on the continent: Lake Victoria (the world's second-largest freshwater lake) in the north, Lake Tanganyika (the world's second deepest) in the west, and Lake Nyasa (Lake Malawi) in the southwest.” The population of almost 50 million is comprised of more than 150 indigenous ethnic groups. The largest is the Bantu which make up 86.3%. A little over 64% of the population is under 25 years old (0-14 years: 44.6%; 15-24 years: 19.5%) The official languages are Swahili and English, although Arabic is widely spoken in Zanzibar which is more than 99% Muslim. The population is comprised of Christian (54%) and Muslim (31%). the Christian population is made up of Catholic (27%), Protestant (48%), and Independent (44%).
According to Operation World, “The continued growth of evangelicals within mainline churches (Lutheran,Anglican) as well as the growth of Pentecostal denominations have seen the evangelical population increase from 2.4 million (9.2%) in 1990 to 8 million (17.9%) in 2010.
Witchcraft is widespread and permeates both Christianity and Islam.
Tanzania’s Christian population, though numerous, needs discipleship. More than half of Tanzanians might be “Christian”, but church attendance runs around 8%. Many see lack of biblical knowledge as the greatest challenge for the Church
Leadership development and theological training must become top priorities in churches. There is a critical lack of trained, mature leaders, and many pastors must care for 10 or more congregations, often miles apart.
The CIA World Factbook points out that Tanzania is “One of the world’s poorest nations wherein an agricultural subsistence economy dominates.”

Uganda
Uganda is an East-Central African country located on the northwest shore of Lake Victoria. It is bordered on the west by the Democratic Republic of the Congo, on the east by Kenya, on the north by South Sudan, and on the south by Tanzania and Rwanda. In size it is slightly smaller than the state of Oregon. The capital of Kampala is a city of 1.8 million.
English is the official language, but Luganda and Swahili may also be used.
The population of 36 million is made up of more than 10 different ethnic groups. the largest of these is the Baganda (16.9%).
According to Operation World, “Uganda is one of the most truly Christian nations in the world, with church attendance high and public prayer common, even in government and judicial buildings… in Kampala, crime rates have fallen and it is estimated that more than half the population attend evangelically oriented services.”
The professing Christian population is evenly divided among Roman Catholic (41.9%) and Protestant (42%). The Protestant group is made up of Anglican (35.9%), (Pentecostal (4.6%), and Seventh-Day Adventist (1.5%). Muslims make up 12.1% of the population.
Operation World states “The majority of Ugandans identify themselves as Christian, but materialistic attitudes, polygamous practices and non-biblical worldviews – all affecting lifestyle – are common. For many, being “Christian” simply means not being Muslim. Many of the fastest growing groups have the fewest ordained pastors, the lowest training standards and the fewest accountability structures. Solid biblical formation for pastors is a key issue – training that is affordable, relevant and empowering.”
The population of Uganda also has one of the youngest populations in the East Africa area. Almost 70% of the population is under 25 years old (0-14 years: 48.7%; 15-24 years: 21.2%)

Towards a Strategy to Reaching Unreached People Groups, UPG’s in East Africa:
1. Focused Prayer
2. Medical outreaches focused on UPGs using our clinic and doctors. Note: We have the staff and willing volunteers to see up to 7000 patients in a week.
3. Using our radio stations to broadcast to each these countries. We presently have one program particularly focused to reach cultural and seeking Muslims.
4. Teaching Kairos to about 4000-5000 students in our eight target countries.
5. Using relatives of those in UPG’s that are students in our TBI Branches
6. Publishing evangelistic materials that can be used to reach UPG
7. Assigning to each of students a project to reach UPGs and requiring actual involvement in reaching them before graduation.
8. Partner with existing evangelical groups that are reaching these UPG’s.
9. Send teams from our 25 church plants and about 75 other church plants represented in TBI
to do outreaches to UPG’s.
10. Train Faculty and develop classes for reaching UPG’s at our East Africa Headquarters in
Uganda.
11. Develop a library at our headquarters in Uganda where missionaries and TBI students can research the UPGs of East Africa.
12. Offer extensive evangelistic training in the field.
13. We presently offer evangelistic ESL classes through one of our partners. These classes can be used to reach UPGs.
14. Through partners we can also offer water wells to a very limited number of these UPGs.
15. By August, 2016 we will be able to provide at a limited cost, security, food and lodging in
East Africa to those doing evangelistic and discipleship work with UPG’s
Note: Lord willing, this process can be completed by 2022, six years from now.
