Course Overview

Helping you share the transformational truth of the Bible

The overall vision of the Proclamation Trust (PT) is to multiply faithful word ministry.

Our training courses are key to putting this into practice: equipping men and women to serve in their churches by doing faithful word ministry, and by helping others do word ministry in turn. This multiplies word ministry, strengthens churches and transforms lives to the glory of the Lord Jesus through the faithful, Spirit-empowered proclamation of God's word.
