Mission

Provide current and aspiring pastors worldwide with training and education in biblical literacy and foundational theology

990 for the year ended December 31, 2025

Program accomplishments

  • Assisting with construction of seminary in Liberia This includes building educational facilities, providing intensive teaching and pastoral care, and supplying scholarly resources in the native language of the students Pastoral training in our facilities primarily occurs at night, several times a week. When not being used for training, the facility supports four income sources that generate revenue and positively impact the local economy. This includes employing 50 local individuals to administer a concrete plant, a bakery, and a coffee shop. Buildings are managed by indigenous pastors and owned by a local nonprofit organization once construction is completed.
  • Establishing a teaching program in Liberia related to seminary training The core mission of EFI starts with opening schools We support aspiring pastors by giving them access to a degree of education that has not been available to them in their area before. To do this we partner with local seminary trained pastors who are called by the Lord to invest in other pastors, teach them, and disciple them so that the concept of a school complex can be built around that individual. EFI will make several investments in regional pastors after a school has been constructed Specific to our school in Libera, EFI will foster other ministries focused on child literacy, economic renewal, and leadership training, as well as a children's ministry with playgrounds.
  • Church partner investment and education Part of what we do on the US side is take the time to help a church establish a missions programs if they do not have one already We are in the process of doing this for three of our partner churches
