What We do

is to provide encouragement, resources, and educational opportunities to pastors throughout the world 

is to establish partnerships that provide encouragement, resources, and educational opportunities for pastors on five continents by 2030

We ask those we send to teach to affirm that they will teach within these theological principles.

AWI connects pastors to other pastors. Through our global network of pastors, we are able to connect pastors who have been blessed with theological training to other pastors who have not had that opportunity. Our in-country directors setup opportunities for short-term, rigorous theological training events across the world. Our self-supported teachers come to where the greatest needs are, provide training, and then send pastors back into their ministry contexts to continue moving the work of the Gospel forward. 

Our ministry is born out of 1 Corinthians 3:6. Paul writes to the church at Corinth: I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth (ESV). We see our mission as going to those places where the seeds of the Gospel have been planted and continue the task of watering. There is a great need for continued training and encouraging, particularly among pastors. In planting and watering, God receives the glory. Godly missionaries have went into difficult places around the world and seen many come to know Christ. As those missionaries continue to labor in places where Christ has not been proclaimed, we seek to come in behind them and water what has been planted.
