January 2010 - Far East

By the grace of God, Pastor Shawn S. had the privilege of translating two courses for our Antioch Bible Institute in the Far East this year. He witnessed the teaching of OT Biblical Theology I, followed by a week of Homiletics I. He was deeply moved by the passionate cry for more of the same great teaching.

"I have seen great things happen in the Far East in January 2010. I translated the two courses for the students all the way through, and helped with the exams. In the country with the greatest population, I witnessed that pastors, Bible teachers and church leaders were crying for seminary training, especially the teaching of reformed theology. They desperately need this kind of training.

Praise the Lord that a group of students were able to receive the training and were satisfied. Even I, as a translator and a pastor, have learned a lot. The high standard of teaching that was offered was biblical, Christ centered, passionate, exciting, and ministry focused. The students consisted of pastors, Bible teachers and church leaders who are young and passionate about preaching the gospel and building the church.

I believe that it is the will of God that Carey is sending suitable professors and pastors from the West to teach and train some of the best pastors, Bible teachers and church leaders in the East."

Students Hard at Work

"Through learning this course, I was able to come out of the old way of teaching - man centered. This course tells me how to be Christ centered, how to be faithful to the text, and how to impact people's lives when I teach the Bible and preach in the church."

"This kind of course is very important to us. It helped us to get a big picture of the Bible. And it's a big help in our pastoral ministry and preaching."
