Pastor Mojelefa Koetlisi (on right, from Serowe).

Pastor Bosena is one of Pastor James’ students in the pastoral training program. He is helping to launch another training site in his village.

Pastor Koetlisi is originally from Lesotho. He is actively engaged in academic theological education. He has partnered with us to bring quality training to pastors. This training is transforming lives and communities.

Sister Wendie with some of the
children in Serowe. She actively seeks ways to help reach children with the Gospel. She provides teaching resources, snacks, school supplies, and shoes at no charge.

The children rejoice whenever they see her. They know that she cares deeply for them. They also know that the Lord Jesus Christ loves them very much.

Pastor Wendell & Sister Lisa Robinson (sending pastor from our home church, Mt. Olivet Baptist Church in Portland Oregon).

They were at the church where Pastor Wendell was an associate pastor when we first came to Mt. Olivet. They left for a season to be missionaries in Puerto Rico. Then they joined other missions organizations that are reaching around the world. He became the senior pastor of our sending church and has been assisting us to expand our ministry impact.

This was a join effort of the Full Gospel Churches of Uganda and Mt. Olivet Baptist Church in the US. We came from Botswana to contribute to different efforts. These included training pastors and encouraging youth. We also focused on showing children the love of Jesus in very practical ways.

Quality Theological Pastoral Training

We offer comprehensive, biblical and doctrinally sound community-based workshops where pastors and ministry leaders are equipped for effective pastoral ministry. This is a 3 year program. It covers 16 essential topics. This program is specifically designed for those who have never gone to a bible school. They are unlikely ever to attend one. Yet, they are leading churches today. They need training today!

1200+ Bibles Provided since 2022

Provided to Churches, Ministries, and Prisons

Subsidized Bible Distribution

Bibles are provided at below-cost subsidized rates. They are available in English (Good News Translation, King James Version, English Standard Version). They are also available in Setswana (1970 Biebele, 1908/1992 Baebele e e Boitshepo). We also offer the Africa Bible Commentary. It is a single-volume work written exclusively by Africans for Africans. It communicates the Gospel from a non-Western perspective. These are offered to communities where many lack access to quality biblical and theological resources. This access allows brokenness to be healed and lives to be transformed. It fosters a supportive community in Botswana.

Pastor James and Sister Wendie, along with their daughter Maranda, spent time with the children from Gabane at Bounceland. This was a reward for memorizing perfectly 1 John 3:1-10.

★★★★★ 5/5

It is a privilege to recommend a co-laborer, Bible teacher, and missionary. I first met Pastor James Clark in 2016. Over the years, he has shown himself to be a faithful servant of our Lord. He is dedicated to His Kingdom’s work.

Pastor James has shown his gifting as an administrator. He assisted the seminary in the successful quest to become accredited in Botswana. He has faithfully served as an instructor in that seminary. He has taken the initiative to strategically move form Gaborone to Serowe. In that new location, he is working with World Hope to offer theological education in that area.

I believe Pastor James has a heart for God, for people, and especially, for those called to lead God’s people. He manifests a commitment to the Lord. He seeks to train pastors so they can more effectively reach their community with the gospel. He also aims “to content for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 1:3).

I highly recommend Pastor James Clark for your consideration. You can support him as a missionary with prayer and finances. I am confident that he will be a blessing to those who are exposed to his ministry.

We have known them for the last 3 years. Their presence has been so helpful to our ministry. It has also improved our lives in general. They have been serving so faithfully to different churches and pastors.

They have contributed to the growth of our children’s ministry. They regularly help in holding children’s outreaches. They offer all necessary resources like toys and snacks.

They often come to teach and preach at their own expenses. This helps guarantee that our church grows in the knowledge of Christ.

Furthermore, they have partnered with World Hope. They are ensuring that pastors in our village get the right pastoral training. The pastors voluntarily help the classes.

With all the above work they have done, we regard them as relevant and effective missionaries in Botswana. Supporting them financially on a regular basis would greatly bless many people here in Botswana.

Partnering with School Teacher at
Grace Kgari Primary School.

Serowe Pastors meet to testify about our overall ministry effectiveness. They discuss how churches in the US can partner with us to increase our overall impact.

What is the mission of the ministry?

Our mission is to make disciples in Botswana. We supply the financial, physical, and human resources necessary for development and maintenance. We support the expansion and overall well-being of Christian Organizations and Projects. We also support Christian Leaders, ensuring the Gospel of Jesus Christ is fully known in Botswana and beyond. We aim to restore truth and empower believers to serve joyfully and effectively in their communities.

How can I support the ministry?

You can support our ministry through prayer, financial contributions, or by joining us for short-term or long-term projects. Every bit of support helps us continue our work in training and outreach. It has a lasting impact on many lives.

What types of training do you offer?

We offer 16 workshops provided through a partnership with World Hope Bible Institute. This program seeks to equip ministry leaders. It focuses on those who lack formal theological education. The aim is to teach them the basic knowledge and skills necessary for effective ministry.

We will launch an entrepreneurship empowerment training program for pastors. This will support their family and the church. Many churches can’t afford to pay their pastors a salary to support their families.

We also offer, upon demand, workshops for church ministries. These include children, women, men, youth, pastors, and preachers/teachers. We also cover worship, evangelism/missions, and church administration.

How do you measure the impact of your work?

We measure our impact through feedback from every training session. We also consider the increased interest in the training. Additionally, there’s growth in disciples and testimonies of transformed lives. Regular feedback from local leaders helps us assess and improve our efforts.

How can I get involved?

You can get involved by participating in our training sessions. You can volunteer for outreach efforts. You can also support us through prayer and financial contributions. Every effort counts in making a difference in the lives of those we serve in Botswana. Together, we can spread the message of hope and healing.

How often will you be in the US?

We know that any time in the US is time away from our ministry in Botswana. We need to meet with current and future supporters to continue receiving resources for the ministry. We have identified a rotational schedule that places us in Botswana for approximately 2.5 years, followed by approximately 6 months in the US.

Although we can’t visit every year, we are always available by phone or video calls anytime.
