ODBU Is Transforming Global Ministry!

Did you know that while Christianity is growing rapidly in regions like Africa, Latin America, and Asia, 95% of global pastors and leaders lack any formal theological training?

ODBU is developing the Diploma in Ministry Leadership program to meet this urgent need. 

With a fully online and highly flexible format, the Diploma program directly delivers relevant training to emerging ministry leaders who are already in the ministry or field where the knowledge and skills are needed most. Guided by mentors within their own cultural context, learners can immediately apply what they learn as they serve their communities.

Additionally, the program encourages learners to consistently integrate biblical principles in their personal lives and ministry, ensuring their growth as ministry leaders is deeply rooted in their maturing relationship with God.

Want to support the next generation of global Christian leaders? Consider donating to the ODBU Diploma in Ministry Leadership. 

If you would be interested in being a mentor for learners in the program, or in taking the degree yourself, please contact us at programs@odb.org
