Kenya - Kitale Puritan Charismatic Theological Seminary

God is really moving!!!

First there was The North American Reformed Seminary (TNARS) in the USA, then there was Puritan Reformed Biblical Seminary (PRBS) in India....and now there are plans for Kitale Puritan Charismatic Theological Seminary (KPCTS) in Kenya!

A dear brother whom I have been discipling in Nairobi, Kenya has been moved by the Lord to start a seminary in the city of Kitale. I am just amazed at what our great King, Jesus Christ, is doing through His people around the world. In places where the term "Puritan" is not even used these seminaries are starting to take root.

I am doubly blessed to be joining in this ministry for the strengthening and furthering of Christ's kingdom. I pray that these things are sparks that will eventually grow into a raging fire of revival all across the world!

Fruit in the Philippines' Ministry

A dear brother in Christ who pastors in the Philippines has just told me of the fruit that God is producing in his ministry. This is one of the brothers who I will be sending Bibles and theological books to so that he can better equip those whom he is training up in the ways of Christ.

Here is his update...

Hello brother,
I just got home. I attended a Pastor's gathering/Bible class from Iligan City. It is very far from my place. I was enjoying our class. God is good that I've learned a lot of things from the Scripture.
I missed also our lessons in Skype.
I didn't stop preaching and teaching. I have new students and I am teaching them the solid biblical doctrines. Every month, I have a new student. They can't afford to go to Bible School that is why I am teaching them for free. I am so thankful that God blessed the ministry here. I get teary eyes every time the students give their learnings.
I really need Bibles and Books for my students. Please help us to pray that God will supply it.
I am also following you in Facebook. Thank you so much for praying the ministry and my family. I do appreciate it. I and my family also prayed for your family and the ministry God entrusted you. I hope someday you can visit us and teach. Thank you so much for all your help.
In Christ,
Nestor

Nepal - Making Connections

What a wonderful blessing to make connections with brothers and sisters in Christ from foreign lands! Since my last update on Krishna, who is an indigenous missionary in Nepal, we have made more connections for him. He has now connected with a dear brother who is the President of MINTS International Seminary (out of Miami, FL) as well as a brother who teaches with MINTS right where he lives in Nepal (Sonam)!

Here is Krishna's latest message to brother Greg, President of MINTS...

Dearest respected Pastor Greg and family in Christ
Warm and loving greetings from Nepal

It is my great privilege and matter of blessing to get your message and feel blessed. We will be praying for you, yours Church and MINTS International Seminar(y). God is using you more effectively for His great works. I have heard about Sonam though I have not met him face to face. He is one of the influential Christian brother who is running seminary in Kathmandu. I will call and arrange time to meet him in the near future. I live just 146 k.m away from him. We can be the ministry partners and learn from him. We too will be praying for you to meet face to face and have wonderful and blessing timing. We will pray so that how God uses us to work together in ministry.

I have a small Church out of Kathmandu valley in Bharatpur which touches the east to west highway. We have 30 members in our Church. I started the Church ministry in 2010 when I was ordained as a Pastor. I was born again in 2000 and took baptism in 2001 and since then I was excluded from home. I am from the hindu priest family. I want to send you my life testimony if you like. 

India - Puritan Reformed Biblical Seminary

I'm thrilled to announce that after receiving my ad eundem Ph.D. from the Puritan Reformed Biblical Seminary I will be serving in the capacity of Mentor/Teacher and perhaps in other areas as well.

I am very pleased to be working under Dr. Bathiran Samuel, a man of God who seeks to bring a deeper understanding of Christ and His things to the people of India and around the world...freely!!!

I pray that God would bless this new endeavor with the PRBS and that MUCH fruit would be had for God's glory through the strengthening of His kingdom.

A little about the PRBS from their website...

Purpose: Puritan Reformed Biblical Seminary (PRBS) exists to bring transformation unto a faithful generation by reviving Puritan vision with sound knowledge of Reformed education!

Vision: With Puritan vision, PRBS wants to see a well trained, envisioned and committed faithful generation effectively involved in their Church Ministry with proper reformed expositional preaching and biblical counseling around the world.
