We have the Pilgrims University Theological Seminary (PUTS) as the missionary training arm of PTIMA, for the Christian workers and ministers. This institution has trained about 20,000 Christian workers in USA and Africa, and also in the professions since 1989. Members are advised to avail for themselves this great opportunity of training their workforce and themselves too, for the work of the ministry. We also collaborate with existing Christian Schools from Raleigh NC, and Good Samaritan Theological University, 6160 A Saint Glles Street, Raleigh, NC. 27612, USA, and Open Satellite Campuses in China, Togo, UK, and Nigeria.
Our Professional Focus:
Having a strong belief in the delivery of sound Christian Education skills for an economically biological nation of the world, our professional focus has remained to be surrounded within the orbit and anus of:-
- Creating new and exciting dimensions in ministry and other subject areas with the American blend of education in order to produce self-reliant graduates, and not professional applicants.
- Networking our trainees with recognized schools in the USA, Canada, and Africa through our students transfer program; eg. Good Samaritan Theological University, and in Pilgrim Theological Seminary, Aba, and Voice of Liberty Training Schools both in Nigeria as affiliate campuses.
- Authenticating African and other nationals with acceptable professorial laurels and doctorate awards thereby enhancing them positionally and professionally.
- Infusing the love and fear of God into our trainees thereby making them cult-free graduates and responsible citizens who face the challenges of our time globally, like shock absorbers.
- Providing scholarship opportunities for students in Africa just as we shall be convoking some of the beneficiaries through the assistance of Good Samaritan Theological University USA.
Our Approval Authentication:
We are the accredited educational arm of Pilgrims Theological Institute and Ministerial Association USA. We have our autonomy to operate as a Private Institution and officially accredited with the higher education department of the State of North Carolina and have registered with the office of the Secretary of State Raleigh NC. USA for international operations and officially registered in China.
Theme:
The theme of this year is simply packaged in preparing the building of a solid bridge for present and future generations. This is building the man’s spirit, soul, and body, as in faith dynamics, where a man cannot operate without the spirit, the God side of man.
We train great vessels of God in Pilgrims Theological University Seminary USA, Africa globally; with the aim of equipping them to have intercourse with the baptism of fire; after the baptism of the word and the water; so that they will become highly anointed to run their ministry. Everybody that should be developed into total manhood will know that he can’t inherit the kingdom without water baptism by immersion. But he cannot enter the kingdom without the word power and Holy Ghost baptism gives birth to fire baptism or baptism of fire.
This level of baptism calls for ministerial, family, economic and social success. It calls for national, regional, and international evangelism for the man of God. It calls for us to operate in the supernatural dimension. People and demons will obey you and respect your call.
Jesus came preaching and did not baptize his converts in the river, even Peter who he met in the river but He baptized them with the word power baptism as the word of God, and with fire in order to empower them to do the ministry and at last, enter the kingdom of God. And this is what we are doing in Pilgrims developing our own students into total manhood and sending them out to the nations for the following programs as we also recommend some good measures for governance in various nations.
- Training Nationals in Ministry to reach their nations for Christ.
- To develop the human and spiritual potentials of our trainees.
- To develop Christian Education centers and give them free hand in introducing self-enhancing programs for the employment and benefit of the masses just as it happens in the USA, Canada, and Europe.
- To create employment opportunities for the teeming graduates of our tertiary institutions in order to make them responsible citizens after training.
- We call on our people to review the pre-independence National Anthem in order to live up to the philosophy of Nation, where though the tongues and tribes may differ but in brotherhood, we stand or make a total change to it.
- Finally, we wish to encourage us that though our Primate, the Pioneer chancellor/president, His grace, Arch-bishop Cosmos Okpo an Int’l Primate PMA has gone to be with Lord, the institution stands firm and unshakable with a team of academic staff, both in USA and Africa as Jesus Christ the head and founder of the Church is. Matthew 16:15.
