The curriculum will be delivered by various visiting lecturers as well as faculty members. We thank God for those who have already agreed to come to teach our students. Our Visiting Lecturers are excellent academic-practitioners from different continents. Between them they have a wealth of experience and knowledge in church planting and evangelism initiatives.
