Bible Colleges Needed in the Developing Nations

Recently we have become involved in establishing Bible Colleges in places where churches and pastors have little or no means of training their own converts for the ministry. We do so by partnering with a full-time Bible College in Mesquite, Texas (Lone Star Baptist College), and they help the indigenous pastors serving in their own community develop an extension of LSBC to bring up a whole new crop of doctrinally-sound pastors, evangelists, and missionaries to go out into the Lord's Harvest.

This work began nearly 2 years ago and has blossomed into 40 new Bible Colleges globally in 25 nations. Most of these are through various pastors we have gone to minister with over the past many years as members of All Nations Outreach Ministry has developed long-term relationships with church-planters in 195 nations and territories. In places often
off the beaten path for Americans, national pastors establish churches in difficult climates and culturally obstinate terrain. Most of the churches and gospel lights in these dark communities are planted and held strong by those from among the local tribes. The light of the gospel shines brightest where people who know the native tongue, preach the gospel gladly to their own people. 

However, one of the handicaps these ministries experience is a lack of Biblical training. Many have no capacity to travel abroad or even to more urban regions in order to go to Bible Colleges and Seminaries. Those who could relocate, could not afford the high cost of tuition and housing. As a result, it has been noted that 85% of African pastors never attend Bible Colleges or even Institutes. This diminishes their ability to handle the Word of God properly and even leaves them open to false doctrines later in their ministries. 

Lone Star Baptist College in partnership with All Nations Outreach Ministry is helping to bridge this gap. The need for Biblically trained men and women to enter the work of God is greater than ever. We can make a difference!!! The gospel requires manpower if it is to flourish. You can be a part by contacting our ministry at ANOM or LSBC International to be a part of this exciting work.
