Ministry Description
Our ministry is called SALT: Suport and Leadership Training and we work under the umbrella of Ripe For Harvest. We are working mainly in Peru, Chile and Argentina and have been requested to open new centers in Paraguay and Mexico. Although our ministry is open to other denominations, 90% of our ministry is with the C&MA churches. Our main ministry is to train pastors and leaders that don't have the opportunity to get training in formal seminaries or Bible school. Our Seminary is called SETE (Seminary of Theological Education by Extension). It is a program of three/four years where we teach one or two classes every three/four months. We have a faculty of 16/18 teachers, all of then volunteers, most fromr the US. We have already more than 70 pastors that have graduated from our seminary. In Argentina we cooperate with the C&MA Bible School in the Extension Program, in Chile the the C&MA National Church. SETE has been accredited by the C&MA Seminary in Peru and Argentina. Part of our ministry is to cooperate with local US churches taking summer teams to South America to minister in local churches and ministries through medical clinics, construction, counseling, businessmen seminars, etc.
Prayer Requests
1. Pray for Andrew, a freshman already at the University od Delaware, that the Lord will increase his faith in the midst of a secular place. 2. Pray for the financial needs for each trip. Airfare is increasing in cost and every the time taht we flight we have to pay overwight because we are taking textbooks for our classes. We carry more than 200 books in each trip. Books are difficult to get in some areas. Also we need to cover the expenses of national teachers when they came to teach for us.3. Pray for safety as Gabe and others teachers are traveling and not have health problems 4. Pray for Judy and Andrew when Gabe is away in trips also for their safety and protection.
