Partnerships for Training Pastors - 2019 Year in Review

partnershipsfortraining.org

“In a healthy cross-cultural partnership we are
learning together, from God and from one another.”
– Werner Mischke
“We’re in this together” is a common refrain
spoken by pastors and church leaders that gather
in our training sessions.Together, we affirm our
unity in Christ and our desire to live out God’s
design for his church. The refrain also reminds
us that separatist tendencies and personal
power plays have no place in the work of God’s
Kingdom. Christ-centered partnerships are the
way to go!
These partnerships are not only found in
those we train, but also in your prayers,
encouragement, and financial support of this
outreach ministry. As you read this year-end
summary, may you sense the important role that
your partnership plays in fulfilling this
equipping vision. “We’re in this together!”
We are grateful for all that God has done
through Partnerships for Training Pastors
in 2019. Looking forward to 2020, several
new initiatives are before us. Thank you
for the privilege of serving with you in
this grand endeavor to build Christ’s
global church through the equipping
and mentoring of pastors, church and
emerging leaders.
With grateful hearts,
Dave and Joyce Jones

Our vision is to encourage and equip less-resourced Majority World pastors and church leaders
through biblical teaching and development of biblical resources.
By partnering with global churches, mission groups and theological institutions,
we will assist national church leaders as they nurture existing pastors and develop emerging
leaders to the glory of God.
Partnerships for Training Pastors

Our Missional Goals
• Partner with Majority World Evangelical churches,
missionaries, and mission organizations that serve
less-resourced global pastors.
• Equip Majority World pastors, emerging leaders, and
church leaders for gospel ministry through biblical
teaching and provision of practical biblical resources.
• Encourage the development of Majority and Western
World partnerships for training emerging leaders in
Majority World churches.
• Form alliances with global theological institutions
in promoting biblical education and spiritual growth
among Majority World pastors and church leaders.
• Assist Majority World church leaders in cultivating a
vision for continual pastoral training among pastors and
church leaders after this project ends.

Why is Partnerships for Training Pastors Unique?
PARTNERING
• Partnerships focuses on long-term relationships rather than a “dump and run” approach.
• Our training mostly occurs in villages and engages less-resourced pastors and church leaders who are unable to
attend Bible School or Seminary.
• Visiting three or four times per year, for more than a decade, promotes
solid growth among village pastors and church leaders.
• Training pastors and church leaders to teach others by developing
skills for biblical interpretation.
• A growing focus is on training young adult emerging leaders in village
churches as well global theological institutions.
• Giving by check allows 95% of your gift to be focused on our mission
around the world. Only 5% goes to New Horizons Foundation for
administrative costs.

Our Uganda Partner - Kampala Baptist Church
PARTNER SINCE 2007
“Kampala Baptist Church’s alliance with Partnerships for Training
Pastors has been a journey with great results. Thank God for the
commitment of Pastor Dave Jones and his wife Joyce who bring their
gifts, skills and a network of resourceful people to join in the work
of equipping the Ugandan church. We have seen over 120 leaders
equipped and much growth in biblical interpretation skills. This is
critical for the African contemporary church which must grow in the
integrity of biblical interpretation.”

EQUIPPING UGANDA
Training the Trainers Project
C
oming from three different areas of Uganda, these individuals
were selected by regional church leaders to become trainers
of pastors and church leaders. Since 2017, we gathered three
times a year for intense biblical and leadership study, followed by
a requirement to return to their villages and towns and hold local
seminars. These participants are now ready to assist in area training
as well as upcoming emerging leaders training across Uganda. The
three-year Project ended with a graduation ceremony in November.

Masaka Emerging Leaders
In August of 2015, the leadership of the Baptist Union of Uganda’s Masaka region identified young adults that serve in
churches and communities but need more ministry training. The group comes together three times per year, studies,
prays and relates in close fellowship. The results have been so significant that a country wide initiative is beginning with
this training as it’s model. (See New Initiatives section)

Masaka Pastors and Church Leaders
In January, we celebrated 10 years of teaching pastors
and church leaders in the Masaka region. Pastor Amos
Sekimpi, regional leader of Masaka Baptist Churches, writes:
EQUIPPING UGANDA
Thanks so much Dave and Joyce for the love
and support in ministry for us Ugandans. It is
worthy to celebrate for the partnership we have
enjoyed all these years and thank God for using
our brothers in America to support this work,
trust you, and be ready to share the vision of
equipping us with all the tools necessary in
handling God’s word correctly. Please extend
our great thanks to all the donors towards this
wonderful work. We love you and pray for you.
Kampala Baptist Church (KBC) Discipleship Team
Following our January pastors and
church leaders training, a group
from Kampala Baptist Church traveled
to Masaka’s regional churches, in
May and July, to provide discipleship
training. This project grew out of
KBC’s focus on spiritual growth in
their church and a desire to share
with Masaka churches what they
have learned.
“Kampala Baptist Church recently
concluded their Discipleship
program with us here in our
zones in Masaka; it was really
good to see how progressively
God’s word was being taught for
growth – the responses were
good too.”
Pastor Abel Segirinya

Partnership with Choshen Farm
Choshen Farm is located in Fimpulu, Zambia - Since 2015, we
have partnered together to teach through the Scriptures. After
presenting Christ in the Old Testament over the initial four years,
we began to study the New Testament last year. Bethany Colvin, of
Choshen Farm, writes of this year’s visit:
“We were blessed to receive once again the teaching team of Dave
and Joyce Jones who facilitated our May Pastor’s training conference
on The Gospels and the Life of Jesus. Pastors and Elders from
around the region attended to grow and have their minds sharpened.”

Kerygma Partnership
Bible translation requires a foundational understanding of
biblical and cultural perspectives. Drs. Chuck and Barbara
Grimes are masters at both, and serve the global church with
steadfast faithfulness. They, and a larger team of linguists,
translate the Scriptures, under the auspices of the GMIT church
in the GMIT’s Unit Bahasa dan Budaya (Language and
Culture Unit).
“We are grateful for the visits by representatives from Bethel Grove
Bible Church, our church in the US, and for their church-to-church
relationship continue to develop with GMIT. During their visit Rev. Eric
Hause, along with Rev. Dr. David Jones and his wife Joyce were able
to interact directly with a number of different GMIT church leaders.
Dave is a seasoned visitor to Kupang, having taught on numerous
occasions at GMIT’s Theology Faculty. His gift of Bible teaching is in
demand in Timor and continues to bear fruit.“
Dr. Chuck Grimes
Artha Wacana Christian University Kupang, West Timor
In 2015, the Universities’ Theological
Faculty invited Dave to teach a seminar
during a visit to West Timor. Since then,
each trip to West Timor has produced
opportunities to teach the Scriptures to
young theological students and emerging
leaders preparing for church ministry.

Cultivating a vision for pastoral
training in South America
Huanaco, Perú
A
new 2019 connection was established with Language
Literacy and Life, a ministry developed by Dr. Diana
Weber. She explains how the partnership started in the
following way:
“When I learned that the Quechua organization, Pacha
Waray, had a vision for training rural pastors, I thought of
Dave Jones’ Partnerships For Training Pastors.
In early January 2019 I wrote to Dave seeking guidance on
the process of training. Within a week I received written
communication that proved foundational for Pacha Waray’s
planning. Then to our delight, in March, Dave was able to
come to Huánuco, Peru to meet with Pacha Waray and
denominational leaders. Dave shared his vision and its
outworking in Africa and Asia and challenged the gathering
to seek God’s vision for training for Huánuco. Those present
were encouraged by the simple steps Dave provided as they
consider the task. Although Dave’s visit was only four days,
I believe that there will be changes that last for eternity.”
El Refugio, Calicali, Ecuador
Our long-time mission friends, Jim and Suzy Olsen
invited Dave to visit and provide a discipleship seminar
for the El Refugio staff and introduced him to Ana Galindo,
one of their Ecuadorean partners. Ana has been helping
direct a Bible Institute for indigenous pastors in Ecuador’s
jungle where she lives and serves. We are seeking God’s
guidance to see if this relationship should be pursued.

NEW
INITIATIVE
FOR 2020
Work with our partners
in developing and printing
curriculum for training
emerging leaders in
Uganda and Peru.
“Dear Pastor Dave, Thank you so very much for the books
which you gave [us]. All of the books: Tozer, Maclaren,
Henry, etc., will be a major blessing. The commentary sets
& Leadership Journals which you gave have actually had
another added benefit, in that God seems to be directing
me to redirecting a percentage of my time in training my
co-pastors (one-on-one & in weekly small groups) instead
of just giving them categorical and general guidelines.
This might not have been possible previously, when my
intellectual resources were more limited.”

NEW INITIATIVES UGANDA
Emerging Leaders Training sessions across Uganda
Because the population structure of Uganda is dominated by
children and youth (see graph), an accelerated strategy is
needed to prepare a new generation of church leaders. In response
to a request from the Baptist Union of Uganda (BUU), Partnerships
will focus on training Emerging Leaders beyond Masaka into other
regions of the country. In 2020, we are privileged to partner with
Kampala Baptist Church and the BUU to address this critical national
concern by beginning in two new Ugandan regions.
”… Since God has given me the Grace to lead in the Baptist
Union of Uganda, we can use this chance to advance and
expand the Emerging Leaders program to other Baptist
Churches in Uganda where it has not yet reached. So far
work done in the Emerging Leaders’ program to train, teach
and reach the young leaders of Uganda is excellent.
Thanks, Much love to you all.”

Pacha Waray Pilot Project
“Training Pastors in Remote Areas – 2020”
Most of the Quechua leaders and pastors
in rural areas are minimally literate.
They don’t have opportunities to study in
a Bible Institute or a Seminary. Seeing
this reality, Pacha Waray is coordinating
with the church leaders to provide
training on the basic Biblical truths in
the Quechua language.Dr. Diana Weber P
artnerships’ role in 2020 involves assisting in curriculum development
and serving as a consultant for pastoral training in Quechua communities.

NEW INITIATIVES WORLDWIDE
Bible Translation Partnerships – Kerygma Project
In June, Joyce and I had the privilege of attending the Lole Scripture
dedication on the Island of Rote and the Amanuban dedication of
Mark’s Gospel in Niki-Niki, West Timor. The Grimes are inviting us
to join them in helping pastors and church leaders better use the
translated Scriptures in their churches.
“Over the years we have increasingly come to
understand the importance of church involvement
in ownership in Bible translation as part of God’s
mission for the church to make disciples and grow
believers in their faith. We are privileged to have
our church in Ithaca and our church in Indonesia
connecting with each other in church to church
Kingdom relationship committed to Bible translation.”
