Training Future Missionaries to Reach Every Nation and Every Campus


August 2012


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
