You should fulfill the following prerequisites in order to apply to the African Intensive:
You are preparing to plant a church in a major African city. If you have already launched the church, you are within the first 18 months of the plant.
You are seeking to plant a church that is gospel-centered and contextualized to your city. You aim for a holistic ministry approach (not only word but also deed ministries).

HORN OF AFRICA
The Horn of Africa intensive training is a one week long learning experience for church planters that are called to plant a church in one of the major cities of Africa. Interactive classes taught by experienced church planters and trainers will be combined with on-site visits of church plants. The training will have the following main objectives:
Gospel Theology: We want to create a learning experience where future church planters get immersed into the depth of the gospel, learn to apply the gospel to themselves and understand how the gospel shapes and empowers every aspect of their church plant.
Ministry Design: How do we contextualize our ministry approaches to our urban context? What will the unique, city-focused ministry of our church planters look like in their respective context?
Balanced Ministry: How do we plant churches that address the different ministry fronts in the city? How will the gospel influence and propel your preaching, evangelism, discipleship, faith and work, and mercy and justice initiatives and bear fruit for your city?
Planting a missional church: How do we gather and train a core group for a church plant? How can we implement a missional mindset into our community from the earliest stages on? And how do we lead this community through the various first steps of a church plant?

INTENSIF AFRIQUE
La formation intensive en Afrique est une expérience d'apprentissage d'une semaine pour les planteurs d'églises qui sont appelés à implanter une église dans l'une des principales villes d'Afrique francophone. Des cours interactifs dispensés par des planteurs d'église et des formateurs expérimentés seront combinés avec des visites sur place des usines d'église. La formation aura les principaux objectifs suivants:
Théologie de l'Évangile: Nous voulons créer une expérience d'apprentissage où les futurs planteurs d'églises seront immergés dans la profondeur de l'Évangile, apprendront à appliquer l'Évangile à eux-mêmes et à comprendre comment l'Évangile façonne et responsabilise chaque aspect de leur église.
Conception du ministère: Comment contextualisons-nous nos approches ministérielles dans notre contexte urbain? À quoi ressemblera le ministère unique et axé sur la ville de nos planteurs d'églises dans leur contexte respectif?
Ministère équilibré: Comment implanter des églises qui abordent les différents fronts ministériels de la ville? Comment l'Évangile influencera-t-il et propulsera-t-il votre prédication, votre évangélisation, votre discipulat, votre foi et votre travail, et vos initiatives de miséricorde et de justice et portera-t-il des fruits pour votre ville?
Implanter une église missionnaire: Comment rassembler et former un groupe central pour une église? Comment pouvons-nous mettre en œuvre un état d'esprit missionnaire dans notre communauté dès les premières étapes? Et comment pouvons-nous conduire cette communauté à travers les différentes premières étapes de l'implantation d'une église?
QUELLES SONT LES PRÉREQUIS?
Vous devez remplir les conditions préalables suivantes pour postuler à l'Intensif Africain:
Vous vous apprêtez à implanter une église dans une grande ville africaine. Si vous avez déjà lancé l'église, vous êtes dans les 18 premiers mois de l'usine.
Vous cherchez à implanter une église centrée sur l'Évangile et contextualisée dans votre ville. Vous visez une approche de ministère holistique (non seulement les ministères de la parole mais aussi des actes). Vous pensez qu'une seule église ne sera pas suffisante pour atteindre la ville et vous envisagez donc de faire partie d'un mouvement de collaboration avec d'autres églises de votre ville.
Votre niveau de français doit être suffisamment compétent pour que vous puissiez lire des articles théologiques, suivre les sessions de formation et interagir avec les autres implanteurs d'églises en français.
Vous prenez le temps avant la formation pour lire la pré-lecture fournie et vous vous engagez à vous préparer à la formation.
