RPI's relationship with pastors continues beyond their initial biblical training. Through ongoing discipleship, encouragement, follow-up, and opportunities for practical sustainability training, participating pastors can continue growing as leaders while working toward stronger families, churches, and ministries.
Across RPI’s Vocational / Sustainability / Discipleship Program, practical projects such as poultry raising and agricultural work can provide opportunities for pastors to develop useful skills and pursue more sustainable livelihoods.

In September 2026, 20 RPI pastors and their wives completed entrepreneurship training in partnership with Ekisiga. The training provided practical instruction designed to help families develop sustainable sources of income while pastors continue faithfully serving their churches and communities.
The pastors also toured RPI’s goat project as they prepare for future hands-on training. The project is one of the practical ways RPI is exploring opportunities that can help pastors and their families strengthen household sustainability.
Alongside vocational development, RPI continues providing discipleship, follow-up, encouragement, and practical training for graduate pastors as they apply what they have learned within their families, churches, and communities.
