ECLEA Mission
ECLEA’s mission is to glorify God by training and equipping East African church leaders with sound and relevant biblical doctrine in order to transform lives, the churches, and communities. This section details our mission, vision, ministry, strategic goals, and more.
Why East Africa?
East Africa is the most strategic area in Africa, and perhaps the most strategic area in the world, for assisting the church through equipping its leaders. There are several reasons for this:
- Africa is becoming the most “Christianized” continent in the world. A century ago, approximately 90% of all world Christians were in the West. Now, approximately 70-75% of world Christians are from the non-Western nations. The church is growing faster in Africa than in any other continent in the world. ECLEA focuses its efforts in the area of the world where God clearly is at work.
- The church is the most important institution in Africa, particularly in the villages. It is the place for meeting people's spiritual and practical needs. Church leaders typically have the respect of local government officials, and churches can act as resources for community development. Despite the church's importance and rapid growth, it has been estimated that up to 90-95% of all African church leaders have no (or very little) formal theological training. Most African church leaders have very few theological resources, and most of the resources that do exist are not in the indigenous African languages. ECLEA recognizes that, since the strength and health of the church depends upon the strength and health of its leadership, we must do what we can to provide the training and resources that the African church leaders do not have and will not otherwise receive.
- Although the world church is now primarily non-Western, the leadership of the world church is still largely in Western hands. That, however, is changing and will continue to change. Leadership will follow the demographics. ECLEA recognizes that the leaders of the African churches need to be trained and equipped in order to insure that the next generation of world Christian leadership will be in sound hands.
- Africa is the prime meeting point between Christianity and Islam. Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the world. Islam controls northern Africa and the coastal areas of Africa. It has a well-financed plan to Islamize the rest of Africa. Muslims are spending millions of dollars to build mosques and schools everywhere in Africa. The only institution in the world that can stand against the rise of Islam is the church. Governments cannot and will not do that—they will follow the demographics. There is no other institution in the world that has the size, history, and influence of the church. ECLEA recognizes that for extremely important geopolitical-social-religious reasons, the leaders of the churches of East Africa need to be equipped now.
- East Africa is probably the most democratic, stable, prosperous, and pro-Western region of Africa. In many respects, it influences the rest of Africa. The East African Community is becoming increasingly integrated politically and economically. Christianity also is well-established in East Africa, having been brought to East Africa approximately 150 years ago. One might say, “As East Africa goes, so goes the rest of the continent.” In other words, if the church falls to Islam in East Africa, it will fall everywhere else. On the other hand, if the church leaders are well-equipped in East Africa, they can not only revitalize their people and nations, but they can also go out to train and equip the church leaders of the other countries of Africa. We have a golden opportunity to have a long-term impact in the most strategic region of Africa and possibly of the world. Now is the time and this is the place. ECLEA will do what it can to be faithful to God’s call to train and equip the leaders of his church at this important time and in this strategic place.
ECLEA Goals
"DEEP FOUNDATIONS • HEALTHY CHURCHES • TRANSFORMED LIVES"
DEEP FOUNDATIONS • The Bible compares the church to a building or temple (Eph 2:20-22; 1 Cor 3:16; 1 Pet 2:5). Any building is only as good and strong as its foundation. Christ and his Word are our foundation (1 Cor 3:10-11; 1 Pet 2:6 [Isa 28:16]). We are called to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Pet 3:18). As we do that—i.e., as our foundations are deepened—we attain to the unity of the faith, we become stable and mature, and we become more and more like Christ himself (Eph 4:13-15; see also Heb 5:12-14).
HEALTHY CHURCHES • Christ has called his church to mission—to “make disciples of all the nations . . . teaching them to observes all that I commanded you” (Matt 28:19-20) and to “go and bear fruit” that will remain (John 15:15; see also John 15:8; 20:21). Jesus said that only “good” or healthy trees produce good fruit (Matt 7:16-20; 12:33; Luke 6:43-44; John 15:4-6). The health, strength, faithfulness, and fruitfulness of the church are directly related to the depth of its foundation in Christ and his Word (Matt 7:24-27; Luke 6:48-49; 1 Cor 3:10-15).
TRANSFORMED LIVES • Deep foundations and healthy churches will result and be reflected in transformed lives. We are called to “not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect” (Rom 12:2). Indeed, the whole point of our lives is that we would be “conformed to the image” of Jesus Christ (Rom 8:29). When we abide in and know the truth of God’s Word and demonstrate the fruitfulness that Christ and his Word brings, we will experience—and can convey to others—the freedom and abundant life that Christ promises (John 8:31-32; 10:10).
ECLEA Vision
- Be the key organization in developing church leaders in East Africa.
- Be the leading organization providing sound and relevant biblical materials in East Africa.
- Become the key organization that will enhance growth in and cooperation among all denominations in East Africa.
- Equip the church leaders of East Africa to effectively preach and teach sound and relevant biblical doctrine and disciple their church members so as to transform this and future generations to attain the unity of the faith, the knowledge of Jesus Christ, and the maturity of the fullness of Christ.
ECLEA Ministry
What ECLEA does:
- ECLEA works with churches of all denominations. We are essentially mainstream evangelical in our tradition and theology. Nevertheless, we do not try to “push” our own tradition or theological distinctives since we work with Anglicans, Pentecostals, Baptists, Presbyterians, Methodists, Mennonites, African Independent Churches, and others. Our goal is to “major on the majors,” i.e., the primary matters in which Christians of all traditions should agree. The practical and societal issues that all the churches in East Africa face are the same. We want to foster greater cooperation among the different churches and denominations, for the betterment of the church as a whole and of society.
- Training and equipping: our strategy. Although ECLEA is small, our goal is to have a large and lasting impact throughout East Africa. In our view, equipping the church leaders in East Africa should not ultimately depend upon any “mzungu” (i.e., white person; Westerner) or upon Western money. Rather, the best way to train the church leaders of East Africa is to have well-trained East Africans do it since they know the language, they know the culture, and they can relate the truths of Scripture in ways that resonate with their people deeper than we could hope to do.
The State of World Missions Today
There are two main emphases in world missions today:
- “Humanitarian” missions, i.e., taking care of orphans, health needs, clean water, rescuing prisoners, infrastructure, development, and self-sustainability, and
- “Theological” missions, i.e., evangelism, church planting, Bible translation, discipleship, and theological education.
“Humanitarian” are widespread and are being done by many church and parachurch organizations, non-church related humanitarian organizations, NGOs, governmental agencies, and the UN.
“Theological” missions are also fairly widespread but, at least among Western missions, the concentration appears to be on evangelistic efforts, church planting, and Bible translation. Discipleship and theological education, to the extent that they are done, are often denominationally-based and do not focus on church leaders.
Why ECLEA is Different and Needed
The “humanitarian” side of missions, vital as it is, is largely being taken care of by many other individuals and organizations. The “theological” side, however, is not.
- There is no need to send Western evangelists and church planters to Africa. That was necessary 100 years ago, but is not necessary now: the church in Africa is growing indigenously faster than anywhere else in the world.
- Western efforts to disciple and train individual Christians is not a cost-effective strategy.
- The greatest “theological” need among the churches in Africa is well-trained and equipped leaders. They are the ones who can then train and equip their church members more effectively than Westerners ever could do. One important effect of this is that, once the leaders, and through them the people, are well-trained and equipped theologically, positive change occurs on the “humanitarian” side as people see the implications of their faith and begin living it out.
ECLEA respects the church as the most important institution or organization in the world and also recognizes that the strength and health of any organization, including the church, is only as good as its leadership. That is why our focus is on church leaders. Every leader we train and equip then will be able to train and equip scores if not hundreds of others—both church members and other leaders. This leverage or “multiplier effect” will have the greatest impact, both in the short term and in the long term. That is the strategy that Christ used, by concentrating on His disciples rather than by concentrating on “preaching to the masses.”
Few other organizations are concentrating on training and equipping church leaders. Yet that is the number one need in world missions today. ECLEA exists to meet that need in the most strategic area of Africa.

ECLEA Methods
The following are key elements of our strategy to achieve our vision and goals:
- The most effective way to achieve the goal is to develop indigenous committees or structures of well-trained and equipped church leaders in each of the countries in which we work and to enable them to train and equip other church leaders. We desire that such committees be interdenominational and include members of different tribes and of both genders. The leaders we work with know the needs, know the most strategic places to go, and know which courses should be taught where. The leaders we work with are also able to follow-up with those who have been taught and identify others who have the capability to become part of the team of trainers. Such committees or structures, in varying degrees size and experience, are already in place in each of the countries of East Africa.
- ECLEA provides teaching in two main settings: church leader conferences, which typically include anywhere from 30-100 participants; and TOTs (“training of trainers”), which typically include 12-24 participants and are designed to stimulate more discussion, Q&A, and the in-depth consideration of issues. When we conduct a church leader conference, we try to identify some of the participants who appear to have the ability and passion to teach other church leaders our material. We then follow-up with them in the TOT format. The church leaders who have been trained and demonstrate the ability and desire to teach then teach with us. Typically, anywhere from 1-4 African pastor-teachers teach alongside the Western ECLEA teachers at church leader conferences. Since the Western ECLEA teachers are only fluent in English, in most church leader conferences translators are used. TOTs require that all participants be fluent in the same language (which is English if a Westerner is leading the TOT). Jonathan Menn leads both church leader conferences and TOTs in all subjects except biblical counseling. Dr. Frank Cummings focuses on biblical counseling (which is most effectively taught in a “hands-on” workshop format).
- ECLEA also prepares excellent written theological materials for the East African church leaders. The reason is that most African church leaders lack good written theological resources. Our materials are designed to go to the heart of our Christian faith and deal with the most important aspects of the church leaders' jobs. As part of this aspect of our mission, we are in the process of getting our written materials translated into the major East African languages. The reason for that is that the vast majority of theological resources in East Africa are in English (with some in French, particularly in Burundi and Rwanda). However, almost no solid theological resources exist in the primary East African languages. Our written materials are available on the ECLEA Courses & Resources page of this website.
- Because the ultimate responsibility to equip the East African church leaders rests with the East Africans themselves, ECLEA helps to facilitate all-African church leader conferences and TOTs. These have been conducted in all of the countries of East Africa and typically are conducted in the local languages. It is our desire to see the number of all-African church leader conferences and TOTs increase. This is necessary because currently Jonathan Menn makes 5 trips to East Africa each year, with each trip lasting approximately three weeks in country. Dr. Frank Cummings makes 3-4 trips to East Africa each year. That means that we can only be in a relatively small number of places and teach relatively few people ourselves. Enabling Africans to teach their fellow Africans exponentially increases the scope and impact of our work.

ECLEA Affirmation of Faith
The Word of God
We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, fully inspired and without error in the original manuscripts, written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and that it has supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
The Trinity
We believe that there is one living and true God, eternally existing in three persons, that these are equal in every divine perfection, and that they execute distinct but harmonious offices in the work of creation, providence and redemption.
God the Father
We believe in God the Father, an infinite personal spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power, and love. We believe that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayer, and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ
We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles and teachings. We believe in His substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people, and personal visible return to earth.
The Holy Spirit
We believe in the Holy Spirit who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and to regenerate, sanctify, and empower all who believe in Jesus Christ. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Christ, and that He is an abiding helper, teacher and guide.
Regeneration
We believe that all men are sinners by nature and by choice and are, therefore, under condemnation. We believe that those who repent of their sins and trust in Jesus Christ as Savior are regenerated by the Holy Spirit.
The Church
We believe in the universal church, a living spiritual body of which Christ is the head and all regenerated persons are members. We believe in the local church, consisting of a company of believers in Jesus Christ, baptized on a credible confession of faith and associated for worship, work and fellowship. We believe that God has laid upon the members of the local church the primary task of giving the gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost world.
Christian Conduct
We believe that a Christian should live for the glory of God and the well-being of his fellow men; that his conduct should be blameless before the world; that he should be a faithful steward of his possessions; and that he should seek to realize for himself and others the full stature of maturity in Christ.
The Ordinances
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has committed two ordinances to the local church: baptism and the Lord’s Supper. We believe that Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water into the name of the triune God. We believe that the Lord’s Supper was instituted by Christ for commemoration of His death. We believe that these two ordinances should be observed and administered until the return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Religious Liberty
We believe that every human being has direct relations with God and is responsible to God alone in all matters of faith; that each church is independent and must be free from interference by any ecclesiastical or political authority; that therefore Church and State must be kept separate as having different functions, each fulfilling its duties free from dictation or patronage of the other.
Church Cooperation
We believe that local churches can best promote the cause of Jesus Christ by cooperating with one another in a denominational organization. Such an organization, whether it is the Conference or a district conference, exists and functions by the will of the churches. Cooperation in a conference is voluntary and may be terminated at any time. Churches may likewise cooperate with interdenominational fellowships on a voluntary independent basis.
The Last Things
We believe in the personal and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to earth and the establishment of His kingdom. We believe in the resurrection of the body, the final judgment, the eternal felicity of the righteous, and the endless suffering of the wicked.
— Adopted by the Converge Worldwide 1951 and reaffirmed in 1990

East Africa
Sub-Saharan Africa is one of the fastest growing democratic regions in the world but remains one of the world’s greatest development challenges. Three out of four Africans live on less than $2 a day. Nearly half of all child deaths occur on the continent. Yet, the people have a hunger for God and a thirst for righteousness. ECLEA focuses it mission on the strategic and vital East African Community, providing trainings for church leaders in the following countries:
