ANNOUNCEMENT: We're always humbled by how God moves His people to equip the ministry. Several have been lending their talents to help the ministry through setting up a database to track our students, establishing an Instagram account for us, managing our mailing lists, donations, and more. If you would like to be an integral part of the ministry and lend your skills, we have the following needs:
- Quickbooks/Quicken: Janice needs help setting up multiple accounts in Quickbooks on her computer and migrating the data from Quicken (a one-time effort).
- Mailchimp expertise for laying out the monthly newsletters (monthly)
- Desktop publishing Someone with creativity and graphics ability to lay out the hard copy newsletter that is printed and sent out. (monthly)
- Education Accreditation: Someone to help us investigate gaining accreditation of our programs. (ongoing)
FIELD SUPPORT: If you have strong teaching/preaching and administrative gifts and believe the Lord may be calling you into full-time ministry, please make contact to discuss interning with us here for 6-12 months and then being dispatched to one of the countries we are responsible to develop. There are urgent needs in Africa, Central & South America, and India.
If you are available to serve in a mid-term opportunity (30-90 days), we can also work something out for that. We have many small administrative and logistical projects which need to be done, and we never find the time to do; plus, we could always use extra hands with our church ministries (music, teaching children/youth, special seminars/Bible studies, etc).
He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. Luke 10:2
FINANCIAL SUPPORT:
With several countries to support full time now rather than one, we are trusting in the Lord to provide for the ministry needs. One way that may occur is through Him moving more people to give financially. If you feel His leading to partner in this rapidly expanding work, please go to our Financial Support page to find out how to give. It costs us $1 per person to put someone through the first two levels of training (manual, workbook & pen), so if you would like to provide an amount equal to fund at least 25 people per month, that would be a major blessing. NOTE: AS OF 2022, WE HAVE 6 BIBLE COLLEGE CAMPUSES WHICH INCREASED THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS WE TRAIN EACH MONTH. THE FINANCIAL NEED IS GREAT IF YOU FEEL LED TO PARTNER WITH US TO STRENGTHEN THE CHURCH IN EAST AFRICA! It costs $150 per person to give someone a complete 2-year Bible seminary education. A monthly gift of $30 throughout the year will put 12 pastors through our program annually.

Prayer Team Members
Committed supporters meet together once a month for corporate prayer to pray over our needs. The Prayer Team in St Petersburg (FL) is led by Alison Whedon and meets the first Monday of every month from 7:00-8:00PM. Please contact her directly here for more information.
If you do not live in St Petersburg and would like to start a separate prayer team in your area, please let us know. Some of our supporting churches in other states (NC, TN) have prayer teams who are also interceding for us. We are always happy to add more teams.
