The church is growing rapidly through evangelism in East Africa. However, nearly 90% of pastors and church leaders have never received formal Bible training. Most pastors become pastors after giving their lives to the Lord.  However, the large majority have never received any formal training and just start a church, resulting in many cult like churches. This is why the Word Ablaze Bible Institute is necessary: there are many pastors but not great depth because pastors have little knowledge of the Word of God. The church in East Africa is a mile wide – but an inch deep.
