West Africa Advanced

School of Theology
The Mission: The West Africa Advanced School of Theology (WAAST) exists to train active
African pastors, evangelists, and missionaries at the college level. They learn to live by the WAAST
motto: “Training for God's Mission through Pentecostal Servanthood.” WAAST graduates serve in
His harvest field in many ways. They serve as leaders of their national or district church
organizations, teach in Bible institutes, or enter other lands as
missionaries.
WAAST, which includes its main campus in Lomé, Togo, and 10
extension centers, serves 21 countries in West and Central Africa—an
area larger than the United States with more than 9 million
Assemblies of God adherents.
The Church is exploding across Africa. Churches are being planted
at an astonishing rate. But there is one problem: Where do we get
pastors for these new works? Some countries have literally hundreds
of churches without trained pastors to lead them. At WAAST we train
those who, in turn, train leaders for their nations.

The Need: As enrollment at the WAAST main campus

continues to grow, the need for adequate classroom space has
become critical. Classes are often held in missionary housing, as
there are no empty classrooms.

The Solution: By adding a second story to one of our The Present Classroom Building
existing classroom buildings, we can accommodate up to 100
more students in our Bachelors-, Masters-, and Doctoral-level classes.

The Cost: The second-story classrooms

will cost an estimated $90,000 for 3420 sq. ft.
of masonry construction.
