Our Director, Dr George Mombi is working to lift six such schools up to be able to teach at diploma level this year. It will be […]
CLTC SOLAR BATTERY
The best way to understand CLTC is that it is a small village, filling a valley. With around 400 residents, including students, faculty, workers and families, it contains much more than just classrooms. There is a farm, a clinic, a pre-school and vehicle and timber workshops. This is in addition to all the housing, classrooms, […]
CLTC MASTER OF THEOLOGY PROGRAM – INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
The MTh program has consistently included faculty members (with family members) from countries outside PNG and we want to continue to provide for these families to come for the two-year program.

MAKING THEOLOGICAL STUDY MORE BIBLICAL

Masters in Transformational Development
Throughout the Majority World there are a myriad of Christian mission and non-government agencies working in aid and development. Local Leaders has been supporting the delivery of a Masters course (MTD) to promote Biblically based ‘best practice’ for leaders already working in the field. The MA is a field based program that reflects on the […]
THE GENEROSITY PROJECT
To counter the growing corrosive tragedy of the prosperity gospel, we are working with leaders in Africa to establish an alternative. The biblical themes of stewardship, generosity and sacrifice will come together to encourage African Christians to live out a genuinely biblical faith. We have about $150,000 donated already and want to raise more as […]

With your help we can realise […]
Faculty Study Grants in Asia
Local Leaders identified some years ago that one of the key ways to improve the educational outcomes for students was to invest in the faculty members’ study.
