Current students and graduates of a native ministry’s seminary lead small church groups across one Middle Eastern country, and they credit their theological education as the reason they are able to do so in places hostile to the gospel. “Because the church there faces a lot of scrutiny, the church is very mission oriented,” the ministry leader said. “This is why they place a large emphasis on theological education: they want to equip leaders and send them out to start ministries and home groups in different parts of the country.” Your donations support the training of native Christian workers. Pray for missionaries who disciple believers in challenging places.
“Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” (1 Timothy 6:12)
