"I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all
this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings" (1 Cor 9: 22b-23 NIV).
Jan Paron
Purpose Statement: Not all ministry leaders can meet seminary tuition costs or
admission standards. Nonetheless, the called require proper
training. Thus, a need exists for institutions or churches to offer
an alternative pathway with high-quality training for multicultural
ministry regardless of a person's academic background or
financial means.
This workshop gives participants a blueprint of nine key
takeaways for developing a Bible college based on All Nations
Leadership Institute's experiences during its three building
phases over a 20-year period.
