Bill & Judy Kirsch

Bill & Judy Kirsch

Country/Region: Gabon
Mount Hope Supported Since: 1990

Bill & Judy serve in the area of discipleship as missionary trainers (Matt. 28:19-20). Bill serves as the provost of the Pan-Africa Theological Seminary (PAThS), training the trainers for our Bible schools across Africa (2 Tim. 2:2). PAThS offers advaced training to those who disciple and train pastors to fill the pulpits of the 10 plus churches planted every day across Africa. Since PAThS was launched in 2005, the impact has been felt across Africa through the training of church planters, Bible school faculty & administrators, missionaries, and national leaders. Its main campus is in Lomé Togo, with a branch campuses in Tanzania and Nigeria.

MINISTRY FOCUS

Their ministry focus aligns with the AGWM-Africa strategic plan to train up men and women for church planting, to facilitate missions mobilization in Africa, and to equip educators (2 Tim. 2:2). They strongly believe that we must not abdicate the training of our highest-level leaders to schools that do not share our values, our high view of scripture and our Pentecostal heritage.

FAMILY

Bill & Judy have three children: Scott, Megan & Matthew. Corey, their son-in-law and a church planter, is married to Megan. Matt is a volunteer youth pastor. Scott is an electrical engineer, and Matt is also a civil engineer with a masters in environmental engineering. Megan has given Bill & Judy two grandsons with a 3rd grandchild on the way!
