Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few; pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
Luke 10:2 KJV

Training for Missions, Ministry, and Leadership

Our training program involves more than just the study of the Bible. We incorporate studying the Bible with practical application, working together, and learning to spread the gospel, along with other joint endeavors. Spiritual growth and maturity are also encouraged through having to work together and through the challenges that close relationships will bring. This is a full-time program requiring a full-time commitment. The participants, whom we call trainees, are not allowed to be employed during this time. This is also a faith builder as the trainees must trust fully in the Lord to provide for their needs.

Training Information

To accommodate as many as come to us for training, we’ve chosen to be flexible concerning our starting date and program duration. In recent years, we’ve selected the first Monday in May as our starting date, with the program running through the end of August. However, we have chosen to be available with our time to serve as many as we can. The core of the program is held in Bend, Oregon, and consists of many hours of biblical teaching and many hours dedicated to the practical application of the things taught. Some things are best taught by practical experience.

We are praying for laborers for the harvest fields, and this may be a step towards that goal in the will of the Lord for you or someone you know. We will gladly answer any questions or provide more information on our program. Please contact us for more information.
