This gigantic change has happened in less then fifty-sixty years. The Holy Spirit has brought people to Jesus and what they have seen in Him has changed their lives. Especially has the numbers increased the last ten years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now you can contribute to a deepening in the churches lives, through the project Pastoral Leadership Training which will bring a deeper first hand knowledge of the Word of God to hundreds of communities of faiths. These churches wants to be salt and light in their society. This, at the same time as the churches continues to send out people to plant new churches by winning new converts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We join hands with pastors forcing on church planting in Nepal and with church planting movements in Odisha, India with a combined network of around 500 churches.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> The teaching will focus on the whole Bible book by book. In this in-depth teaching we will also look at the major theme in Scripture:&#8221; the Kingdom of God&#8221;, as well as ethical and systematic questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The teaching will be based on lectures. We have written, to each session, a material in English. This has been translated into Nepali. It has been printed and given each participant. During this process we also focus on introducing group-discussions. We also reflect in this groups over the meaning and implications the Scriptures we study will have in the communities of faith and their context.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our estimate is that we will reach in between 100.000-200.000 Christians, directly through thisteaching and training.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <b>Financially\u00a0<\/b>our needs are approximately 4000 US dollars per month. We ask you to consider partnering with us for a three years period and give to PTP on a monthly base.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You can for instance support three pastors by paying 16 US dollars over month for three years.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Of course, you are more than welcome to give more<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">And, maybe, most important\u00a0<b>why not join us on a industry trip to Nepal yourself?<\/b>\u00a0It will surely change your life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Dr. Hans Sundberg, PLT Coordinator<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pastoral Leadership Training\u00a0is a new pastors-training program led by Rev.
