Africa Theological Education Initiative Benefits Students

These students from Liberia benefited from the money provided by the Africa Theological Education Initiative.

Funds from the $2 million Africa Theological Education Initiative are being used for scholarships, training programs, and development of training materials for pastors in the Central Conferences. About $1.1 million has been distributed to date.

Bishop John Innis, episcopal leader of the Liberia Annual Conference, said the funding came at a critical time for The United Methodist Church in Africa. “The money is relevant. It comes at a time when the church is growing, and we need to be developing pastors,” he said.
