Christian Leaders for Africa is a U.S. nonprofit organization started in 2002 to promote theological education in Africa and to represent Nairobi Evangelical Graduate School of Theology. The board, executive director and donors of CLA consider themselves to be partners with NEGST in developing pastors, teachers and missionaries on the African continent. CLA seeks to raise funds for student scholarships and African faculty support as well as other special projects and initiatives at NEGST.





Nairobi Evangelical Graduate School of Theology (NEGST) is a seminary in Nairobi, Kenya, that was started by the Association of Evangelicals in Africa in 1983 and which has produced over 800 graduates. NEGST offers M.A., M.Div. and Ph.D. programs for pastors, teachers, Bible translators and missionaries. Students from outside Africa are welcome to apply.

There are almost 1000 theological and Bible schools and colleges on the African continent. Many have met the standards set by the Accrediting Council for Theological Education in Africa.

	Reuben Sitati - Western Kenya

	Reuben Sitati (M.Div. 2001) is a Bible scholar and farmer/entrepreneur. Reuben and his wife, Petronilla, are from western Kenya near the town of Webuye. Petronilla works as a nurse and before coming to NEGST, Reuben was a pharmacist. It is most common for trained professionals to flee from the rural areas in search of the good life in Kenya's capital city. But during his M.Div work at NEGST, Reuben was increasingly burdened by the Holy Spirit regarding the needs in his home district. To read her story of Reuben, click on the link below.




	Caleb Kim

	REACHING MUSLIMS BY UNDERSTANDING THEIR CULTURES Dr. Caleb Kim teaches in the Missions department at Nairobi Evangelical Graduate School of Theology in Nairobi, Kenya. Caleb and his colleague, Dr. Stephen Sesi, are pioneering an Islamic Studies program at NEGST that will equip missionaries to serve in Muslim communities. Caleb is also an adjunct professor at Fuller Theological Seminary where he teaches Korean students in missions. A recent article summarizing his research in African-Muslim contexts was published in the Lausanne World online publication. . .




	When you contribute financially to a theological school in Africa, you are looking into the future as well. You envision healthy churches, mature pastors, effective missionaries, godly leaders who know and love the Word of God. You can give to meet an immediate need or you can invest gifts that will benefit the students and faculty years from now. Endowment funds are long-term investments that will keep a theological school accomplishing its mission generation after generation. Endowments are created to ensure a faculty position in a particular department. They can also guarantee a certain level of scholarship funds for students. When invested wisely, endowment funds can yield a steady income for a theological school and continue to grow the overall investment. Why is theological education in Africa so strategic and worth endowing?

The African church is now larger than the church in North America. The great need of the church in Africa is for godly, educated men and women to serve as leaders and teachers. The greatest service the church in North America can perform is to support the African church in its efforts to train and equip its leaders. . .
