BIBLE TRAINING FOR ALL

BIBLE TRAINING FOR ALL/BIBLE TRAINING CENTERS FOR THE NATIONS

A program of the EAAN:

The Bible Training Centers for the Nations (BTCN) have the vision of helping Christians with a teachable spirit to become real and faithful disciples of JESUS CHRIST. We try to imitate carefully the Process of 2 Timothy 2:2 : " The things you learned from me before many witnesses, transmit them to trusworthy men who will be capable of teaching them to others also". For “each Paul” to have his “Timothy” and “each Timothy” to have his “Paul”. This describes well our vision : « Each one a disciple, each one a disciple maker ».

We, off course, train Christian leaders in practical, academic and spiritual ways in order to be involved in Missions and to plant churches where Christ the Savior has never been preached yet. We believe that church planting is the best and most effective evangelization method.

BTCN: a place for every one desiring to become a better disciple of CHRIST and to have an impact in the ministry.

Create good conditions to train Christian leaders in practical, academic and spiritual areas.
