"What is the difference between justification and sanctification?"
"Justification is God's legal declaration that you are righteous through faith in Christ (Romans 5:1). Sanctification is the ongoing process of becoming more like Christ through the Holy Spirit (1 Thessalonians 4:3). One is a moment; the other is a lifetime..."
The Problem We Solve
Pastors Are Leading Without Training
This is not their fault. The system failed them. GBLI exists to fix that — for every pastor, everywhere, regardless of income or location.
Serving Without Training
Over 70% of pastors in sub-Saharan Africa lead churches without any formal biblical education. They preach, counsel, and lead — but without the tools to do it well.
Bible School is Too Expensive
Traditional Bible colleges cost thousands of dollars per year — completely out of reach for most African pastors who earn less than $200/month.
No School in Your Area
In rural Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, and beyond, the nearest Bible college may be hundreds of miles away. Distance makes training impossible.
No Time to Leave Ministry
You can't leave your congregation for 3 years to attend seminary. Your people need you now. You need training that fits your life.
"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge."
— Hosea 4:6 (KJV)
GBLI was founded on this verse. Knowledge of God's Word is not a luxury — it is a necessity for every leader in His Kingdom.

A Personal Message
A Word from
Pastor Kaliisa Dickson
"I have seen pastors in Uganda and across Africa take on the full weight of church leadership without a single day of formal training. They love God deeply, but they carry their congregations without the tools they need. GBLI exists to change that — to give every pastor, everywhere, the biblical foundation they deserve."
"Whether you are leading a congregation of 10 in a rural village or 1,000 in a city, this school is for you. The Foundation Certificate is completely free. Start today."
