Advancing in Ministry Through Serving Pastors

One of ACTION’s key leaders said that the expansion of ACTION ministry in Southeast Asia will probably be through the Pastoral Leadership Development ministry, helping to encourage, equip, and mentor needy pastors.

Even in countries with a small percentage of believers, the majority of pastors in small churches have no training. For example, the Philippines has a population of 90million. Only 5% to 8% of the people are estimated to be evangelical with up to 48,000 untrained or undertrained pastors. Many of these pastors earn as little as $20 monthly, they have no funds for books or training to assist them for their ministry of preaching and teaching the Word of God.

ACTION’s Pastoral Leadership Development ministry is praying for teachers for pastors’ conferences, books, and 100 additional missionary pastors to serve in Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America with some of the 3.2 million needy pastors to help encourage these men in their vital ministry with the Word of God to His glory!
