Train the Trainer Fund
In response to the overwhelming need for the training of leaders worldwide, AMT has broadened its commitment to training worldwide through the setting up of the Train the Trainer Fund. AMT is partnering with ACCS (The Australian College of Christian Studies, formerly Emmaus Australia) and with BTN (Brethren Training Network) for this program providing training to key overseas leaders. This international training initiative seeks to strengthen churches worldwide through providing quality training on location and in context for church leaders. Where possible the training seeks to provide nationally and internationally recognized accreditation for the students.
Donations given from individuals and assemblies for training will be matched dollar-for-dollar from the bequest of the late Lilian Thelma Dutton.
AccessTruth aims to help you to tell God’s Story clearly anywhere, through the provision of free tools for people, churches and teams sharing Truth in a multi-cultural world.
Based on theological convictions (the primacy of the local church) and practical considerations (what works best for equipping church workers), the training model keeps candidates in their communities, study/work contexts and, most importantly, functioning in their local churches. This allows church leaders to be vitally involved in every step of the equipping process. Comprising of 250+ tutorials divided into 9 modules, the Cross-cultural Essentials Curriculum package provides essential tools for sharing the Gospel in light of God’s grand Narrative – the Story of the Saviour and why He came.
Available for free through the AccessTruth website, all tutorials can be accessed by video, audio or print options. Individuals can work through the curriculum independently, but it is designed ideally for churches to nominate one or more trusted mentors to track with participants as they engage in the discussion questions and assignments in each tutorial.
