Pastoral Educational Training Program

Pastoral Educational Training blends experienced pastors and professors from the United States in a learning environment with local pastors around the world in an effort to enhance their education.

Although we offer no scholarships, Jehovah Jireh Ministries works to train those that have the desire and calling for proclaiming the Gospel but have had little to no opportunity for college or seminary education. We believe the concept of peer training is best for this program because of the relational understanding between pastors. Rather than burden the national pastor with extreme expense to travel to an institution for educational training, this program takes the classroom to them. By providing the training in their homeland, the local pastor gains first-hand experience in a familiar setting and the teacher benefits from the global experience.

In a small group setting (up to 30), the local pastors acquaint themselves with others in their area as they learn together. The workshops are arranged conducive to ministry schedules with no less than two sessions a day for three to five days, depending on the coursework. There is also time provided for the students to converse with the instructor on a more informal basis.

The Pastoral Educational Training program is offered to local pastors at no charge, which encourages their attendance and also assures them of our purpose of Kingdom service.

There are many pastors around the world who shepherd a church on very little knowledge or training. Some have a year or two of Bible College, the equivalent of a high school education here in the States. Few pastors have university education and even less have seminary education. By faith, these pastors lead their congregations, trusting that God will provide the answers they need to nurture and shepherd their church. Our purpose is to assist in strengthening their ministry by enriching the level of their education.  

This program is funded by contribution.
