Global Equip Ministries is currently focused on serving the needs of unreached people groups primarily residing in the 10/40 Window who desperately need the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Love-N-Care Ministries currently has over 3,500 ordained pastors in and around the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. This includes 800+ tribal pastors deployed in tribal areas recognized by the U.S. Center for World Missions as “Unreached People Groups.”
They serve over 7,000 churches. Some of them are ‘house churches’, but many churches have their own buildings – which is a huge draw for evangelizing villages and surrounding areas.
This number of LNC churches is expanding rapidly, and their need for qualified, well-trained pastors is growing just as fast!Love-N-Care Ministries currently maintains 4 Bible Training Schools. Pastoral candidates are typically educated in one of these for 11 months before they are ordained. Their trainers have limited exposure to historical, orthodox Christian doctrinal and theological resources. They are asking for our help to provide a broader and deeper curriculum along with qualified Western teachers to upgrade their education & training. Would you consider helping us to serve them?
The NEED: An Epidemic of Under-Trained Pastors
The greatest work of evangelizing and planting churches throughout the world will be done most effectively by indigenous Christians. How can we / must we help them? By equipping them with the tools & training they need to do the job.
Every year 50,000 new churches open their doors. But very few leaders are trained to lead them. Of the 2.2 million evangelical churches worldwide, 85% are led by pastors with no formal training.1 Formal training makes them more effective and protects them from heretical influences. This is one of the greatest need areas within world Christendom today.
The MISSION: Training Leaders to Reach the World for Christ
· There is a pressing need for indigenous pastors & evangelists to receive more preparation in teaching God’s word and leading Christ’s church. Global Equip Ministries:
1) develops curricula, based on historical, orthodox, sound doctrine & theology,
2) teaches that curricula, on site, to pastors-in-training as well as to working pastors in the field, and
3) equips local church leaders to upgrade their own training capacities.
· We facilitate U.S. pastors travelling overseas to participate in these training programs, setting up conferences and prepping them for what they need to teach. We know they will return with vision to infuse their own congregations with life-changing love for the world and zeal for missions.
· Global Equip partners primarily with Love-N-Care Ministries, International to serve leaders in India, Africa and beyond. We serve as de facto U.S. Ambassadorsfor LNC.
