There are many pastors / ministry workers in the Vastfontein surrounding communities who do not have the finances to attend a seminary to obtain a formal ministry qualification and also have not learned how to apply biblical principles in a practical why in their own lives / ministries therefore they also cannot teach their congregants these truths. Therefore the Vastfontein Community Transformation team started to train lay pastors to: 

Gain proper and sound knowledge about the Bible. Grow spiritually by committing to God so as to serve Him fully. Use what he or she gains to build other people up in their faith. Guide the church in the full truth of God’s Word and to protect it from false teachings and practices.
