"We are currently living through one of the transforming moments in the history of religion worldwide. Over the past five centuries or so, the story of Christianity has been inextricably bound up with that of Europe and European-derived civilizations overseas, above all in North America.
"Over the past century, however, the center of gravity in the Christian world has shifted inexorably southward, to Africa, Asia and Latin America... If we want to visualize a 'typical" contemporary Christian, we should think of a woman living in a village in Nigeria or in a Brazilian favela."
—Philip Jenkins, The Next Christendom: The Coming of Global Christianity.
With this massive and exciting shift, God is raising up churches and church leaders in record numbers in China, Kenya, Honduras and all points in between.
One of the great needs of our day is leadership training that is affordable, doctrinally sound, and effective.
God has used the Timothy Institute to develop TLT—Timothy Leadership Training—-for that very purpose: to bring affordable, doctrinally sound and effective teaching to parts of the world where the church is experiencing explosive growth but leadership is woefully lacking.
