Really, it’s more joy than duty! Our partnerships are completely voluntary, but they are extremely important. We ask each team member to commit to prayer for us, for our training teams, and the pastor-students and wives in the training.
In addition, we ask each partner to consider how much they can contribute to the ministry of training pastors. These contributions are processed on the GTN site for oversight and accountability.
Other opportunities to help might include networking for new ministry partners, using skills to help the ministry forward.
