Many have come to a saving faith in Christ in Angola, but a lack of biblical leadership has put a limit on the church's ability to grow and flourish, and there are still unreached people in this predominantly Christian nation. There is a shortage of godly, trained leadership in the church, which has limited growth and maturity and has caused leadership struggles and divisions. For years, there was little formal biblical training, but now there are seven Bible schools and four seminaries in Angola.

Avant is partnering with Instituto Superior de Teologia Evangelica do Lubango (ISTEL) to provide solid biblical training and theological education to faith leaders in Lubango, the capital city of Angola. Our vision is to assist ISTEL in raising up leaders with a foundation of biblical truth so that the church in Angola can thrive and multiply and reach those who still do not have access to the gospel.

We are looking for professors and teachers with the necessary education and training to invest in the next generation of Angolan Bible teachers. Will you be a part of building up God's kingdom through theological education in this country?
