LET’S CELEBRATE: 1,428 Ministers of the Gospel Trained in Five Countries on Three Continents and the Caribbean

As of this month, 1,423 ministers of the Gospel have graduated from the French-speaking RHEMA Bible Training Colleges in the DR Congo, Haiti, Quebec, France and Switzerland. Every one of these French language campuses were pioneered via the joint efforts of the international team that has grown out of 37 years of Christ-centered relationships and collaboration. Ken and Tonja Taylor are honored to lead this team whose goal is to expand into all thirty-four countries and eleven territories of the French-speaking world (Vision 34/11). With so many nations yet to reach, your partnership is more vital than ever.

HOW THIS MINISTRY IS FUNDED:

Trust and transparency are foundational to our 180partner relationships and we want to be clear where your giving goes.

Your donation to nations180 trains ministers in the DR Congo and Haiti. It also funds expansion team initiatives, led by Ken & Tonja Taylor, to reach the 34 nations and 11 territories of the French-speaking World (vision34/11), and provides resources required to keep them and their team on the mission field.

With 290 campuses in 56 nations, RHEMA USA is not capable of financing all of the international extensions. The Taylors (nations180) are responsible for raising funds for the RHEMA campuses they oversee in Haiti and the DR Congo. They do not receive funding or a salary from RHEMA USA.

Colleagues John and Laura Madan and Ike & Cindy Cool, highlighted in this update, are responsible for raising separate funding for the RHEMA ministries they oversee in France, Switzerland, and Quebec. We encourage those wishing to support the ministries of John & Laura Madan, Ike & Cindy Cool or the home base of RHEMA USA to contribute to them directly.

Make an eternal investment: Would You sow a special seed today?

Nations180 could benefit greatly at this time from a BOOST OF GENEROUS GIVING. Would you prayerfully consider sowing a special seed or becoming a partner today to keep our growing team on the mission field and facilitate continued expansion into the nations of the French-speaking world?
