Fellowship in the Gospel
There are a number of faithful organisations already at work in Malawi and Zambia, and PTI is privileged to work alongside them sharing 'fellowship in the gospel' (Phil. 1:5). In 2006 we hope to be involved with seven pastor training conferences; sometimes providing assistance and support to others who have organised the conference, and at other times organising and operating the conference as well.

During 2006 we will, God willing, be enabled to support the following training conferences in Malawi and Zambia.

1. Ndola, Zambia, 18th-21st April 2006
   The Theological College of Central Africa (TCCA) organised and provided logistical support for this conference. PTI provided the book sets. Alan Levy led the teaching, assisted by a Zambian brother, Pastor Gilbert Mubanga.
   
   
2. Kasama, Zambia, 24th-28th April 2006
   This was a follow-up conference for the 70 delegates who attended the Kasama conference in October 2006. The aim was to focus on the important subjects of regeneration, justification and sanctification, where it became evident last time that further help was needed.
   The PTI Local Leadership Team organised the week, which was again held at the Lukupa Training Centre. Alan Levy and Gilbert Mubanga shared the teaching.

3. Ndola, Zambia, 20th-24th August 2006
   We are very thankful to Peter Seccombe for leading the teaching at this conference, and to Gilbert Mubanga and Kabwe Kabwe for sharing the ministry with Peter.

4. Petauke, Zambia, 28th August - 1st September 2006
   Covenant College in Petauke organised this conference, for which PTI provided the finance. Peter Seccombe again led the teaching, this time assisted by Jan van Straaten and Cees Molenaar from the College. The aim was to build on the teaching given at Petauke in August 2005.

5. Malawi, 9th-20th October 2006
   The Evangelical Bible College of Malawi (EBCOM) and the Evangelical Association of Malawi are organised these two 'Refresher Courses' for rural pastors at Chilema and Nkhata Bay. Zambesi Mission and PTI supported these conferences, at which Abraham Folayan, former principal of EBCOM, shared the teaching with Timothy Alford.
