More than a Mile Deep is an African-owned and designed, non-formal, accredited, ministry training program employed across sub-Saharan Africa. Its curriculum is written, tested and facilitated by regional Christian leaders. Steeped in Scripture and designed to address the unique needs of the African church, each course aims to achieve individual, church and community transformation.
The International College of Bible and Missions exists to serve the need of training leaders for the evangelical churches of Southern Africa. Located in Johannesburg, South Africa, the school offers theological and practical Christian ministry training for men and women of multiple ethnicities and religious backgrounds and serves as a resource for regional churches and lay leaders.
Help make more training possible
for more women in Africa.
African women are increasingly afforded leadership responsibilities in both secular and church settings. Stepping Up to Her Place, launched and directed by a local team of women, is a 2-year certificate program incorporating education, mentoring and consultancy. Courses include Bible study skills for leadership development, the synoptic gospels, spiritual gifts, Christian ethics and leadership, and being a woman leader in an African context.
Global Mentorship Network is a leadership initiative seeking to develop leaders from a spiritual and intellectual base. It aims to impact not only current leaders, but future generations of leaders in all walks of life. GMN focuses specifically on spiritual formation, professional development, ministry effectiveness and marriage and family, with the goal of influencing all corners of society with Christian values.
