When Pastor Daniel joined PDN’s training program, he was ready to give up on ministry. Leading a small congregation in a rural village, he struggled to understand Scripture deeply and felt ill equipped to address the growing needs of his church. But after attending PDN’s Pastor Theologian course, everything changed. Pastor Daniel gained confidence in his calling his preaching transformed, and hi church began to grow. Today, he’s mentoring other pastors in his region, passing on the training he received.
In a community devastated by poverty and violence, Pastor Grace faced an overwhelming task. But through PDN’s Pastor Entrepreneur training, she learned how to mobilize local resources and start a small business that supports both her famil and her ministry. Now, her church is a beacon of hope, offering job opportunities and bringing practical support to those in need.
In Lugazi, a small district in Uganda, Pastor Samuel had been leading his small congregation with limited resources and training. When he attended a PDN Rooted in the Word Pastors Training, he was equipped with new theological insights and practical ministry skills. Returning to his church, he mobilized his leaders and implemented what he learned, leading to a new approach in churc ministry. For the first time in five years, the church saw growth, and the Luzira community saw a whole new local church which loved them differently and proved more relevant. Pastor Samule illustrates for us how one equipped and changed pastor can transform an entire village.
