New Year, New Goals!

As president, I made the step to move to Lebanon in April of 2006. I currently am serving with one of the leading pastors of the Middle East. His church has help start thirty other churches and small groups all over the Middle East. As the president of 10/40 Hope Missions, I decided to partner with him to establish a two year training program. For this program, we will be using the curriculum from MTI School of Ministry based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This will be one of the first training programs to use Arabic speaking pastors and teachers to train up leaders in the Middle East.
We ask for continual prayers for the work being done here so that we could train thousands of leaders and send them out into the harvest. With some certain changes in the Lebanese government, time will only tell how long this door will remain open. One of our current financial needs is translating the material. We have raised enough to have the first year of curriculum be translated but are in still in need of the second year material. Also, we believe that we will be able to purchase a building where we can house many of the students coming from all over the Middle East.
I see the greatest challenge in the Middle East is the lack of faithful workers on the field. I believe this school will help fix this problem as we powerfully spread the Gospel in Middle East. We are called to do a mighty work for our Lord, and we are answering that call with the same authority that we have been sent with.
