If a person has only one year to prepare in becoming a tentmaker missionary, or a pastor, ministry leader, Sunday School teacher or worker of a small church, what are the Bible doctrines and truths, and practical skills he must learn?

Some 62% of pastors around the world do not have any formal theological training. To help equip pastors, lay leaders, church workers and tentmaker missionaries from Asia, Africa and Latin America, we are organizing this free online Bible Institute in cooperation with some churches and Bible schools in the Philippines.
