In 2021, Pastor Emeritus Jeff Richards, Foursquare emissary to Burundi, East Africa, pioneered a school of ministry to meet the desperate need for Biblical education and certification for pastors in Burundi.
   The Burundi Foursquare School of Ministry is held twice a year and offers a one-year certificate for its students covering three areas of learning: education, spiritual formation and service. The discipleship and leadership training involved is interactive and rigorous, teaching classes such as Hermeneutics and Ecclesiology, but also the relevant subjects of Grace and Legalism, and the Pastor’s Family.
    HVFC has been a committed partner of the Burundi Foursquare School of Ministry from the beginning, supporting the work with prayer, finances, and even sending pastors such as Pastor Mary Jo Kraft to teach in the school twice a year. To date, 130 graduates have completed their certification from the Burundi Foursquare School of Ministry.
