Theological Training
in the Arab World
A Seminary Opens in Cairo |
|
In June, 2008, we reported,
"Significant contacts have been made in two key cities, Cairo &
Minya, where key leaders have invited Carey to teach. God led our
men through a taxi driver to a pastor who ha s
built a seminary, but lacks qualified instructors. We are waiting
on the Lord in this regard. Please pray."
All
glory to God, Who hears and answers our prayers! Doors have
opened for Theological Training in Egypt, beginning with Cairo,
and with plans to open in Minya, D.V. Let your hearts rejoice as
you read how opportunities abound to expand throughout the Arab
World! |

Planning and
Proceeding through God's Provision |
|
Carey's Field Co-ordinator
in the Middle East, Mike Ghiz, writes, "The Lord is opening up
great doors for establishing seminaries throughout the Arab
World. Cairo had its start in January 2009, and another large
denomination wants us to begin as a soon as possible in the Minya
area of Egypt."
This, we pray, is only the beginning of many centers in the
Arab World. The Cairo Institute will be drawing students not only
from Egypt, but from Morocco, Sudan, Iraq, Syria, Israel, and
Saudi Arabia. We have requests to open Bible Institutes in Beirut
as well as in Iraq and Pakistan, which we are currently
exploring. We believe we are going to see great things ahead
for training leaders across the whole Arab World, and our
prayer is that God would lead many of the students to minister in
the Arab countries that do not permit western missionaries to
enter."

Grace International
Theological Seminary opens in Cairo |
|
Pastor Gamal (Maher
Abd El Mesih), the head of the Grace Churches, a 33 church
charismatic denomination, began the Grace International
Theological Seminary in Cairo this January, 2009. Beginning
enrollment was 35 students, and the training ended with 24
committed students from 5 different denominations. Dr. Penhearow
taught Intro to Systematic Theology, and Mike Ghiz taught
Old Testament Survey I. This was a very successful start
as the students expressed that they benefited by the studies.
Pastor Gamal was also happy from the feedback from the students.
Some students shared that they were challenged and persuaded by
Dr. Penhearow's teaching on the Doctrines of Grace.

Next Session: Life of
Christ and OT Survey II |
|
The next session (Life of Christ & OT Survey II) will be held
from August 24 to Sept 4, 2009, at a center built by the church, with
150 beds, a lecture hall with desks, and a dining room. They believe
the student enrollment will be between 80 and 120 students. Pastor
Gamal has asked us to provide 8 weeks of training per year.
In Minya, a Presbyterian denomination with a network of 10,000 is
currently asking us to help train their leaders. Please pray. We
need to find more suitably qualified lecturers and qualified
translators.
God has already lead us to a British pastor in London who speaks
Arabic! This pastor is willing to teach four modules per year for us
in Egypt. Praise God!

Thank you for standing with us, for praying faithfully, and for giving of
your time and energy to join in this great work! We at Carey Outreach
Ministries have witnessed the Lord working as we trust Him and move ahead
in faith. We need your prayers! The new students in Egypt need your
prayers! Read through the newsletter again, and pray that God will move
in the Arab World, using the students trained under Carey. Pray that He
will send His workers into the harvest, for the fields are white and
ready! We need workers! |
