Praise God that the church in India is growing at an amazing rate. But with this the church faces unique challenges. One challenge is having pastors who are trained well in the bible. This is made more complicated with the poverty that many pastors experience in India, they cannot afford to go to bible college for a year and they are certainly not funded by the Government to do so. (Praise God for how Australians are supported by our Government).
India Gospel League has recognised the need for pastors to be trained and has partnered with Moore College to see pastors be trained in correspondence courses by teams of Aussies who will travel to India. One such group is leaving in 3 days.
The team is lead by my sister and her husband. They would love your support – in prayer and in your generous gifts. To find out more visit newcastlechristianstudents.org where you will find out more about the team and more about how you can support them.
They leave in a few days, have already raised over $10K, and have only $3000 to go… what do you reckon?
Have a look at iglata.com for more info on this ministry and other Aussie teams who are heading over in 2012. It’s worth investing in!
