Empower provides funds to train and spiritually equip pastors and church planters for ministry in urban and rural settings.
Training can take place in established Bible School settings in cities with 100 to 200 attending all the way to smaller gatherings of 10 to 30 students in thatch-roofed churches in the jungle. Training varies from periodic weekend conferences for lay pastors and elders to four-year recognized degrees for some pastors and church planters.
Virtual classrooms we call ‘zoom rooms’ bring together 15 – 20 pastors in a small space, equipped with a large screen T.V, generator, computer and satellite dish. Teaching is conducted virtually by trained teachers based out of Ho Chi Minh City in multiple tribal languages. Although initially started out of necessity, the effectiveness of this approach has been overwhelmingly positive.
