EMMANUEL BIBLE SCHOOL,   SOUTH INDIA

… to equip God’s people to do His work and build up the church, the Body of Christ.  Ephesians 4:12

Emmanuel Bible School, South India is a three-day in-house training program for rural Pastors who have never been to seminaries, have no formal biblical training or have attended any pastoral conferences due to lack of financial resources.  The only literature in their possession is a Tamil language Bible.

During the three-day program, pastors cover 10-12 subjects on Christian Foundations, Discipleship, Pastoral Care & Counselling, Living in the Kingdom, Worship in OT & NT, Christian Leadership and Bible-based preaching and teaching.

Pastors are provided FREE boarding, lodging, transportation - along with the notes and other study materials.

Rev Sunil Noah started this ministry in 2005 with a vision to strengthen the rural churches in South India. He is also the lead Pastor of Zion Indian Church at Austin, TX.  He has planted churches in India, New Zealand, Michigan and now in Austin.

Since January 2005, Rev Sunil Noah has trained and equipped 1370 Pastors at eight centers in the State of Tamil Nadu, South India (Thiruvellore, Kancheepuram,  Vellore, Padapai, Chengelpet, Coimbatore, Tirupur, Gobichettipalayam, Madurai, Theni, Salamangalam, Tiruvanamalai, Bangalore, Thoraipakkam & Salem). Trained leaders have gone on to plant new churches.

He is planning to be in South India again from February 6 -24, 2012 to train around 220 Pastors at three different rural locations in Chitoor (AndhraPradesh), Bangalore (Karnataka) and Kambam (Tamil Nadu).

The Cost of conducting one program is $1200. Total cost for three training programs is $3,600 plus airfare cost of $1500.

Mission Opportunity

You are invited to join The Church of Canyon Creek in Austin, TX as they team up with The Southern Cross Project of the IMB. The Southern Cross Project was started by the IMB to distribute Bibles, Christian literature and DVDs of the Jesus Story, all in Mandarin, to Chinese tourists when they visit in other parts of the world. The Church at Canyon Creek has partnered with the Southern Cross Project, sending two teams per year to Pattaya, Thailand to distribute Bibles and participate in various ministries being run there. In addition three teams have gone to Macau and one to Singapore. The Church at Canyon Creek has been forever changed by individuals and teams who have gone and returned energized to continue this work.  They invite you to join them in this awesome kingdom work, partnering with Southern Cross to bring the Word to those who would otherwise not hear it. If your church is looking for a missions project to get involved in, this one deserves your prayerful consideration.

Bryron Jones or Kenny Camp are available to speak to your church, your mission committees, Sunday School Classes and individuals who might be interested in participating.

Are you aware that you could have a “real live missionary” speak in your church

and share what God is doing in the “ends of the earth”?

The Events team of the International Mission Board would like you to know that there are several international missionaries who are, or will be, stateside in Texas throughout 2010 and available to speak in churches.

Here’s how it works:

• Contact Mary Jo Hines, Mobilization Specialist

1-800-999-3113, ext. 1453

mhines@imb.org

• Your request information will be entered into the system and the Events team will pass along the opportunities by secure emails and/or phone.

• When a match is made, contact information will be passed on to your church so that you can work out the logistics with the speaker.

• Your church is responsible to pay any travel expenses – mileage, lodging, airfare – missionaries do not have stateside travel allowances.

The Burma Connection

A Unique Mission-Based Opportunity

Reed Iwami and Gary Watkins, of Crestview Baptist Church in Georgetown, Texas are prepared to share not only their personal stories, but to discuss the varied ways – orphanages, neighborhood Christian schools, mission trips, micro finance programs, refugee assistance – in which any church or church member can participate in an incredibly rewarding mission-based experience.

Reed and Gary’s passion for helping the Burmese has led them to create a unique mission strategy that combines the business innovation of their for-profit company, World Wed Resources, with their non-profit 501 organization, The Burma Connection. It is their intent to help fund the humanitarian work with the net profits from their web service-related business. 

You can help in at least two ways:

• Visit The Burma Connection’s website and review the various ways you can participate in this unique mission work, and then contact one of them to learn more.
• Help them to fund this humanitarian effort by supporting their work. They have custom designed a multitude of church websites. Perhaps your church web site needs a fresh look or enhancements. Or you may know of others who would like to re-design their website or developing their first web presence. Visit World Web Resources at www.worldwebresources.com.

If your church is looking for a unique mission-base opportunity, working with The Burma Connection and World Web Resources is a worthy consideration.
