Growing Beyond India
Should the Lord lead, the school will one day begin accepting students from across India, especially from areas where it is hard to obtain study materials or that are under persecution. If God allows, pastors from neighboring Islamic nations will also be invited to come, be trained and sent back to their hometowns to reach those in areas that are inaccessible to westerners.
Pastor Rodney says, “These are exciting times in which we are living and I believe the time is short. God has given us a great opportunity to do exactly as He has told us to, ‘Go into the world and make disciples of man.’ This is our plan and our hope is that many disciples are made for the glory of God.”
