MAF Learning Technologies provides educational and technical expertise to facilitate the training of church leaders around the world.

Millions of dedicated pastors and church leaders in the developing world have no access to conventional classroom instruction methods. Many are new Christians themselves. They have a call to minister and a passion to learn but distance, danger, cost and lack of resources present significant barriers. Those living in areas where believers must hide their faith face even greater challengers.

By responding to the needs of these pastors and church leaders MAF – Learning Technologies is transforming lives around the world. Through distance education, pastors, church leaders and new believers have access to courses in church ministry, Bible study, theology, evangelism and a wide variety of other topics to develop spiritual growth.

The services of MAF – LT allow them to remain in their communities and care for their congregations and families while receiving critical biblical education and training:

• Partnering to Develop Courses – working in partnership with organisations such as Moody Bible Institute, MAF-LT evaluates curriculums and develops or customises courses to meet the specific needs of each community of believers. This often includes language translation and review of courses for cultural relevancy.
• Consulting for new Technology Development – MAF-LT assess the needs of ministry partners and assists in the development of new educational technologies. From Learning Centres strategically located  around the world, MAF-LT supports distance education programs worldwide, including those of a growing number of Christian ministries in the Middle East.
• Creating Free and Easy to Use Technology – MAF-LT develops software tools to facilitate distance learning in places where internet connections are either expensive or unreliable, and commercial software is cost prohibitive. MAF-LT equips pastors and leaders by collecting and organising Biblical resources beyond what they ever thought possible: 45000 books, 4000 hours of audio training and 1000 hours of video training – all in numerous languages.
• Establishing Computer-Based Learning Centres – MAF-LT assists ministry partnersby establishing distance learning centres in remote areas. MAF experts provide the resources to launch each centre, then they train local facilitators to operate them.
• Training Leaders to Facilitate Distance Learning – MAF-LT assists organisations such as the Latin America Training Network, Open Doors in Sudan, Central Asian Theological Seminary, Baptist Convention of Kenya, PTEE in Jordan and Here’s Life Inner City, by training facilitators and teachers to develop and deliver their own training and distance education courses.
