Our Partnership with Third Millennium Ministries

Our partnership with the Third Mill Institute is crucial to our Pastor training work. We currently have over 150 church leaders from the Edgewood Network who are enrolled in the Third Mill Institute, receiving year-round training under the oversight of our training staff (our training coordinator Jeremiah Ocen and our 5 regional leaders) across Northern Uganda and South Sudan. Our partnership with Third Mill was featured in their most recent newsletter. See below for more information...
