Dear Brothers and Sisters of Gafcon,
I write to invite you to partner with us in supporting the eighth Bishops Training Institute (BTI-8), which will be held this week in Kigali, Rwanda, from October 20-25, 2024.
This vital event gathers 17 bishops and their wives, along with 10 faculty members, under the leadership of our BTI Director, Bishop Henry Luke Orombi.
The BTI is a unique opportunity for bishops to be trained and mentored by seasoned bishops who have weathered the challenges of ministry with faithfulness and courage.
Participants and faculty will represent 9 provinces, including Mozambique & Angola, ACNA, Ghana, Myanmar, Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, and Tanzania.
These bishops face immense pressure—from challenges to the truth of the Bible to the temptation to be swayed by the wealth and influence of liberal dioceses that promote revisionist teachings
During this week, bishops will receive theological instruction, pastoral leadership development, and receive wisdom and guidance in leading their dioceses amidst cultural and spiritual pressures. They will leave equipped to stand firm in the unchanging truth of God’s Word and to lead their dioceses in faithfulness to Christ.
We invite you to join us in supporting this event through your prayers and your financial contributions.
To partner financially with the mission of Gafcon, please donate here to help support us as we seek to strengthen orthodox Anglicans everywhere.
Your donation will contribute to the costs of travel, accommodation, and resources for bishops from dioceses around the world. Every gift will play a role in ensuring the success of this training and for the strengthening the global Church.
Please consider supporting the BTI today, and pray that God will use this gathering to grow His Church for His glory.
The Rt Revd Paul Donison
Gafcon General Secretary
PS: Your gift helps us strengthen orthodox leadership!
