Gospel Training Initiative · South Sudan
Equipping gospel-workers for faithful service
We train pastors, students and lay leaders to handle God’s Word faithfully. Our goal is a Church in South Sudan grounded in the gospel and sound doctrine.
Who we are
A South Sudanese ministry for the whole Church
Gospel Training Initiative equips pastors, students and lay leaders to handle God’s Word faithfully. We are a non-denominational, non-profit organisation registered in South Sudan in April 2026.
The Church here is growing, yet many gospel workers have never had the chance of in-depth Bible training. GTI exists to close that gap by strengthening the local church — never replacing it.

Training where workers already serve
What we do

Equip the Church (ETC)

Classroom Ministry Training
A six-month, full-time programme at our Juba training centre. Students are identified by their local church and supported by bursaries so cost never hinders a calling.

Upcoming events
Mobile workshops, teaching days and conferences that take in-depth Bible training to the people who need it — wherever they already serve.
Why this matters
The need, in numbers
South Sudan has more than a century of Christian history and a growing Church — yet a critical shortage of trained Bible teachers. That is the gap GTI was founded to close.

GTI prayerfully seeks gospel-minded individuals, churches, institutions and organisations to share the work — so that no one misses training because of cost. The door is open.
