• Tremendous growth is taking place in these countries and new churches need trained and ordained pastors

• Many pastors are pastoring multiple churches already and literally are putting their lives on the line serving God

High Level Reasons

• Much of the growth is via Jesus Film teams reaching people from other faiths (Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism) which lack basic Judeo-Christian understanding

• It is imperative that we partner with them in this way because the Global church does not have global missionaries assigned to these countries so we must train indigenous pastors and leaders
