AN ACCREDITED INSTITUTION IS RISING
Today's Programs, Tomorrow's Departments
In Kenya, this stewardship is growing into AltarStone Training Institute, an accredited technical and vocational institute established in partnership with Africa International University in Karen, Nairobi, so that formation carries both spiritual authority and recognized credentials.
This is what safeguards the churches: recognized accreditation, carried by an institution built to last. The institute opens with three departments, each with its own curriculum:
01
Apostolic & Pastoral Ministry Studies
CURRICULUM: THE GARDEN APOSTOLIC TRAINING CENTER
Foundation Certificate in Pastoral & Kingdom Ministry · Diploma in Apostolic & Prophetic Leadership
A third-year programme is reserved in the framework for the future.
02
Israel Studies & Messianic Foundations
CURRICULUM: ISRAEL AMBASSADOR ACADEMY
Certificate · Diploma in Israel Studies & Messianic Foundations
Raising ambassadors who know the covenant story they belong to.
03
Humanitarian Aid & Disaster Response
CURRICULUM: UNITED RESCUE ALLIANCE
Certificate in Disaster Relief & Humanitarian Aid (prerequisite: Foundation Certificate in Pastoral & Kingdom Ministry)
A Diploma is recognized in the framework and launches after the first Certificate cohort completes. United Rescue Alliance is the pilot of this department.

WHY ACCREDITATION IS NOT A FORMALITY
We Keep Churches Open
Across the region, ministers who lack recognized credentials serve under real vulnerability. Congregations can face closure and leaders can face legal jeopardy, not for any failure of faith, but for the lack of a certificate.
​
So when we hand a bishop his diploma, we are not decorating a wall. We are helping keep a church open, and a minister free to serve God and His people.
​
This is why accredited education stands inside our vision statement, and why the partnership with Africa International University matters so profoundly. Recognized credentials are not a formality here. For many congregations they are the difference between gathering and scattering, between a shepherd who serves and a shepherd who is sidelined.
​
Most of the men and women we graduate are already bishops and pastors: already faithful, already leading. What they have lacked is standing. We build that standing, and their churches keep their doors open because of it.
RECONCILIATION & ALIGNMENT
Africa and Israel, Bound Together
We believe Africa carries a profound role within God's redemptive purposes for the earth. Zephaniah 3:10 speaks of a people from beyond the rivers of Cush bringing their offering to the God of Israel; Isaiah 18:7 of a gift brought to Mount Zion.
​
What the Father is building in Africa, He is building with Israel, and He is bringing both into the fullness He has promised. We build that bond through teaching, covenant partnership, and the Israel-Africa Summit.

to classes meeting across Central and Northern Kenya.
EQUIPPING THE SAINTS
The Most Influential Training
We stand on the conviction that the most influential training a person can receive is an encounter with Jesus Himself. Curriculum matters. Accreditation matters. But the deepest change, in a Kenyan village, a Turkana refugee camp, or a board room in Nairobi, begins the same way it began in Jerusalem: ordinary men and women meet the risen Christ.
​
Believers in the USA, Africa, and beyond move through a structured formation journey combining biblical training, discipleship, and identity restoration. Cohorts are taught by local facilitators, complete their manuals, share meals together, and graduate in their own communities. Indigenous leaders are not assistants to the vision. They are central to it. Most who come to us are already shepherding congregations; what we add is the standing that keeps their doors open.
