To date, we have focused on developing a residential training facility in Lusaka (the capital city). However, our team there has been conducting training in the Copperbelt province, about a 6-hour drive north of Lusaka. Along a 100-mile corridor within this province lie some of the largest cities in Zambia, representing a significant percentage of Zambia?s overall population. We have connected with and begun training for a number of churches and ministry networks. We have also made connections with two large conference facilities that have opened their doors to us for training. The possibilities here are enormous. Toward that end, we have re-directed our indigenous Zambian team from an attractional model (that requires people to come to us) to an apostolic model whereby we are sending our team to the people. Our reach will be much greater than we had envisioned if we can properly develop, equip, and deploy a growing cadre of instructors. 2. We have been piloting courses introducing lay persons in the US to Inductive Bible Study. After over three years of beta testing, we are ready to launch our first multi-site course offering this fall. The offering will consist of groups in the eastern half of the US gathering in their churches or ministry locations and joining a live Zoom call for weekly lessons. Upon completion of the six-week course, students will earn credit for the experience, and that credit will satisfy the pre-requisite requirements for the next course. This work is hard to quantify financially insofar as it involves a great deal of intangible resources and investment. 3. We completed filming of the second ?Through the Bible? course in a series featuring the teaching of Dr. Alan Meenan, founder and President Emeritus of The Word Is Out. The first course was filmed in Amarillo, Texas, at First Presbyterian Church (Oct 2022). This more recent filming took place on the campus of Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky (May 2024). We have funding in place to film two more courses, and our hope is to do a total of twelve courses?thus rounding out the series that Alan initially envisioned in the 1970?s. 216865 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 6 false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 19 19 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false Brad Johnson 8593009439 PO Box 96 Wilmore KY 40390 Bradley Johnson President 40.00 0.00 X 45000 0 0 Rev Lael Zulu Director 40.00 0.00 X 38667 0 0 Maureen Rousseau Director 5.00 0.00 X 8750 0 0 Yee Nge Lin Director 1.00 0.00 X 4000 0 0 Tori Konopinski Controller 40.00 0.00 X 2169 0 0 Dr David Bauer Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Steve Childs Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rev Will Esler Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Richard Haney Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Matthew Ladisa Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Joe Mills Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Stan Morris Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mac Myers Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Susie O'Brien Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kip Perry Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Teena Smith Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Luke Post Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Brian Taylor Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dr David Judy Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 98586 0 false false false 0 322247 322247 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 322247 0 0 0 0 98586 98586 0 42306 42306 0 0 2098 2098 0 0 6963 6963 0 0 0 0 904 904 6825 6825 0 0 0 23031 23031 0 0 0 0 0 2424 2424 ICBU Expenses 16914 16914 Meals 6057 6057 Video Production 4726 4726 Program Expenses 2731 2731 3300 3300 216865 216865 0 0 205083 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 205083 480 0 480 X 32103 172500 0 204603 0 205083 X 105382 99221 X false false false X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 480 480 true Zambia 0 1 Pastoral Training Training in Lusaka 55581 1 1 55581 55581 false false false false false false Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b No review was or will be conducted.
