Global Institute

For more than a decade, the THR Global Institute, under the leadership of Rev. Theophous H. Reagans, has worked in meaningful collaboration with Allen Temple Baptist Church Global Ministries to support programs that uplift communities across the United States, South Africa, Ghana, and Haiti.

Through this partnership, the THR Global Institute has helped support initiatives focused on education, youth leadership, vocational training, anti-trafficking advocacy, infrastructure development, and humanitarian response. The THR Board has also stood alongside Global Ministries by supporting mission engagement, program development, and key global initiatives over the past twelve years.

Together, these collaborative efforts have helped launch and strengthen programs such as community computer labs for youth in Johannesburg, after-school learning centers in Soweto, and tutoring and support programs for vulnerable children in Durban. In Cape Town, educational initiatives have also helped equip young people with knowledge and resources to protect themselves from human trafficking and exploitation.

A central focus of this work has been leadership development for young participants. Through international exposure, mentorship, service-learning experiences, and social justice engagement, youth are encouraged to see themselves as global citizens and agents of change. Young leaders from the United States, Ghana, and South Africa have participated in cross- cultural exchanges, leadership workshops, and even produced a documentary reflecting on their experiences and the importance of justice, faith, and global responsibility.

At the heart of this work is a shared commitment to equity, partnership, and community leadership. Programs are developed in collaboration with local churches and grassroots leaders, ensuring that initiatives reflect the wisdom, dignity, and priorities of the communities they serve.

From Oakland to Johannesburg, from Cape Town to Durban, the THR Global Institute has helped nurture a model of global ministry grounded not in charity alone, but in mutual partnership and shared responsibility for justice. 

We are deeply grateful for our ongoing collaboration with Allen Temple Baptist Church Global Ministries and the many community partners who make this work possible. Together, we continue building bridges across continents—empowering youth, strengthening communities, and living out our faith through action.
