The need
Poverty, distance, limited classrooms, and crowded schools leave many children and emerging leaders without a dependable path to learn.
Education
In-class and hands-on instruction tailored to produce powerful ministers of spiritual and cultural transformation.
Next generation leadership
Most educational options in northern Uganda lack training in character and spiritual development. Many religious alternatives address spiritual development but ignore the critical leadership skills needed for individuals to thrive. Favor’s Leadership Training Institute addresses both in a blend of in-class and hands-on instruction tailored to produce powerful ministers of spiritual and cultural transformation.
How it works Favor operates a Leadership Training Institute in each nation, through our offices or rented facilities and dedicated trainers. The training meets relevant needs while adding holistic empowerment not found elsewhere in northern Uganda or South Sudan. All our indigenous staff participate in constant training including Bible training, prayer, marriage enrichment, household finances, small business entrepreneurship, and much much more!
As a chapter of our LTIs, our School of Ministry fully equips and enables graduates to preach and teach the Word of God, plant churches, pastor congregations, and train others to enter the mission field. This school is a 2-year Bible college/hands-on ministry program specifically for people wanting to go into ministry! Transformed Leaders to Transform Nations!!
The ministry in context
See how Leadership Training Institute fits Favor’s wider approach to transformation.
Poverty, distance, limited classrooms, and crowded schools leave many children and emerging leaders without a dependable path to learn.
Learning begins close to home, continues through Christ-centered schools, and grows into training for teachers, ministers, and community leaders.
Education is designed to form people who can serve their families, lead with character, and teach the generation following them.
On the ground
At Favor, we believe community is very important. Through the LTI, we hold pastoral conferences, seminars, government breakfasts, and give discipleship to community groups and public schools. There is a large variety of programs we offer to see the community enhanced and grown with discipleship.
In the field
More than one frame is needed to understand the people, places, and daily work behind this ministry.

Discipleship & Training · February 1, 2024
Following two weeks of prayer and fasting, Favor kicked off its annual Training of Trainers (TOT) South Sudan conference in January.
Most of our students are Muslim Background Believers, who are soaking up the teaching with a deep spiritual hunger for the Lord. This conference also provides them intentional time to spend being refreshed in the presence of the Lord as they intercede for their nations and prepare to someday return as missionaries.
