Pastor Training School - Final Session for 2007

Today the pastors are heading out of town, as we conclude the final session of Bible training classes for this year. Over the next few months, most of the pastors in this part of Honduras will be working very hard on the coffee harvest. Since they make most of their income for the year during the harvest, the decision was made to take our break from classes at this time.


Sales of Bibles and Bible study materials were brisk at the close of the session.

Because of the generosity of our donors, pastors were able to get boxes of inexpensive paperback Bibles, to distribute to their congregations.


The Bible Training School has been a fabulous success. We held eight sessions in 2007, starting with the one in March. Attendance has hovered at around eighty students each month. Many pastors who previously had no study materials now have study Bibles, concordances, dictionaries, commentaries and teaching materials for Sunday School.

We are so grateful to God for his many provisions in this endeavor!

Wow, what a great report! I have a soft spot in my heart for Honduran pastors. The ones I have met are very hard-working, humble and so concerned about the people in their congregations and neighborhood.
