Training Africans for ministry to their own people and to other countries has been the passion of Dennis & Coletta Shelly for many years. In addition to biblical education, these future servants of the Lord need skills to meet financial needs, especially if they are church planters or if they serve in areas with large Muslim populations. Toward that end, the Shellys are spearheading a project of skills acquisition at ECWA Theological Seminary Kagoro (Nigeria) such as raising catfish, welding, carpentry/furniture making and plumbing.  They desire to expand to poultry, rabbitry, farming skills, general maintenance and construction, etc.  A trained community development missionary would be a huge help.
