Values
-
Biblically based;
Everything we do at Word of Truth is grounded in God’s Word since it is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without any mixture of error (2 Timothy 3:16; Psalms 119:105, 160; 12:6; Proverbs 30:5).
-
Theological & moral integrity;
We are committed to having a solid understanding of Scripture, including its contexts and interpretations and disseminating the same to our students as we seek to be more like Christ on a daily basis.
-
Servant leadership;
We are guided by the words of Jesus Christ; “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45).
-
Accountability, Kingdom Multiplication;
Word of Truth is not about addition but about multiplication. It begins slow but eventually mushrooms. We are here to equip Pastors and Christian leaders who will take what they have been taught and they will in turn teach it to others. It’s about what Paul told Timothy in 2nd Timothy 2:2 knowing that we will give an account to God for the time, treasures and the gifts He have given us.
-
Self-sustainability;
Our goal is to explore and pursue opportunities identified by our two committees so that training and empowering our graduates can ultimately become self-sustaining.
-
Non-discriminatory regarding race, color, nationality or ethnicity;
Every human being has been made in the image of God (Genesis 1:26). As an image bearer, all are inherently deserving of being treated with honor and dignity. We focus on the people we are serving and those we serve with as being our brothers and our sisters and treat them as such.
Our Story
Although Kenya is said to be 85.3% Christian, the reality is that most people’s faith is a mile wide but a foot deep. Sound biblical training along with intensive discipleship is needed to change the devastating ethnic violence, AIDS pandemic, bad governance, massive corruption, and increasing poverty.
The rapid numerical growth of Christians has exposed weaknesses of numerical growth without appropriate spiritual growth. The church growth in Kenya is impressive but many Christians are faced with the lack of good discipleship. Observers have noted that the disproportionate ratio of the trained pastors to the planted churches makes it very difficult to adequately disciple Christians in the church.
That is the reason why Word of Truth Christian resource & Training center was born. Since January 2016, we have sought to train men and women in the Word of God and in the work of ministry so that they can narrow the gap of the trained pastors in the ministry. We especially reach out to those church leaders who cannot afford to attend the already established Bible Schools and those who do not qualify due to their academic credentials.
For the last four years, we have graduate 90 Pastors and church leaders who are now advancing the Kingdom of God in their communities. Many of our graduates have an average of 50 church members; you can just imagine the impact they are making with the training that they have received. Equipping someone who will go and equip others go a long way in the kingdom building. The words of Paul to Timothy continues to be our guide as we enter into our fifth year; “And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also” (2 Timothy 2:2).
