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.
