Feed a man a fish and you feed him for a
day, but teach a man to fish and you feed him for life! All over the
world there are pastors, leaders and teachers that have never had
any training in how to read and apply the bible to their lives!
Take for example in Vietnam- a group of 1400 pastors beg for Bible
training, but have to be turned down because there are not enough
trained Bible teachers available to go. In Nepal - 100,000 Bhutanese
refugees are stuck without electricity, have minimal food rations,
and live in bamboo huts wallpapered with newspaper to keep the dust
out. Without any way to leave their situation, one pastor prayed and
fasted for 5 years for God to send some Bible teachers to them. In
Indonesia - an informal survey is conducted asking believers what
their greatest need is. Without hesitation, the reply is, "Bible
teachers".
We are involved with a program called Titus Project. This is a
program where we will go and teach indigenous pastors and teachers
all over Asia how to study God's word for themselves using the
inductive method, especially those where no other training is
available. Once we have worked there for approximately two years we
would like to take the Titus Project to Africa in order to teach and
train pastors and teachers all over that continent.
We will be serving with Youth With A Mission (YWAM) and are very
excited and thrilled that our church has decided to send us with
their full blessing and has committed to holding us accountable!
Please pray for us and for the church worldwide, their needs are so
great!
