About the French campuses

For more than 30 years, Nations180 directors Ken and Tonja Taylor have worked alongside a team of international collaborators to equip and train leaders across the French-speaking world. Since 2007, this collaborative effort has led to the establishment of 12 ministry training campuses in five nations on three continents, including Québec, Canada; France; Haiti; Switzerland; and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, resulting in more than 1,100 French-speaking graduates.

On September 20, 2021, they launched a major French-speaking ministry training center in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, welcoming 314 students in its inaugural year. This training center has since evolved into the Haute École de Théologie et de Leadership pour la Francophonie (HETLF), an accredited institution dedicated to forming Spirit-empowered leaders through theological and leadership formation marked by academic excellence, integrity, and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Following the successful launch in the Congo, HETLF is now preparing for expansion into additional nations, with groups already forming in Benin, Cameroon, and other regions of the French-speaking world where prospective students and ministry leaders are eagerly awaiting future launches.
