Dear Partner,
A new batch of Every Nation School of World Missions
(SWM) students started their training last June. SWM has proven to be our
single most effective training program for long-term cross-cultural
missionaries. It was initially started to train Filipinos but as our missionaries
have spread out all over the world and been found extremely effective, EN
churches worldwide have sent their leaders to SWM to be trained as well.
The four-month intensive program will consist of subjects
such as Campus Ministry, Church Planting, World Missions, Culture Shock and
Stress, Persecution, Ethnic Evangelism, Cross-Cultural Theology, Language
Learning, etc.
The present batch is the largest ever with a total of
thirty students. Fourteen of those are Filipinos from our Victory churches in
Alabang, Fort, Imus, Laoag, Malate, Ortigas, QC, and U-Belt.
Over the years, we have had the privilege of having
several international students go through our program. This year, we have
sixteen international students, the most ever, from our EN churches in
Australia, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Korea, Malaysia, Myanmar, Poland, South
Africa, USA, and Vietnam.
After graduating in October, these future missionaries
are set to start new churches or help strengthen existing ones in nations such
as Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Israel, Japan, Myanmar, Nepal, Poland, Timor
Leste, Uganda, etc.
We are excited about this opportunity to transform young
leaders and send them out as fully equipped, highly effective long-term
cross-cultural missionaries. This way, we can reach Every Nation and Every
Campus.
Blessings,
Michael Paderes
Executive Director
