📢 New Resource for Leaders from FTLT! 🚀

Our very first training video from AiAfrica: "Your First Steps with AI for Ministry (A Tool, Not a Guide)."

This practical session dives into how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can serve as a powerful tool to enhance your ministry efforts: from saving time to boosting communication.

Today, I listened to a woman from a small village outside Arusha, Tanzania, share how she finds encouragement from the Bible story of Cain and Abel. Over the past 43 days, we’ve heard many stories of inspiration and biblical reflections, but this one stood out—no one had ever used Cain and Abel as a source of encouragement. Intrigued, I asked her to explain what she learns from the story and how it encourages her. Though her interpretation might raise theological questions, her words left me speechless: "When I am in a crisis, I always search for the good in spite of the crisis, and then I offer that to God, as it is the best I have."
