Global SDA Pastoral Training Griggs University continues training pastors around the globe. Every week, our president and Christian Ministry Department receive request for pastoral training, certification and accredited course work, often in remote parts of the world with limited resources. These individuals are in need of SDA-based ministerial courses developed to assist them in meeting their language and cultural needs and in a format that is flexible for those who cannot attend an SDA university or seminary. Recently, Griggs University developed a Master of Christian Ministry (MCM) program that has been presented in South Africa, the Baltics and abroad. However, this program has its limitations. It is based on delivery by seasoned theologians and ministers in a traditional classroom setting. Our MCM program, along with training and certification courses for pastors, needs to be developed for online delivery so that it may be used by a greater audience. At the request of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, Griggs has agreed to provide the course work, materials, teachers, and staff for these programs. However,, funding for scholarships and development of online material is necesssary. Since 1909, Griggs University/Griggs International Academy (formerly Home Study International), a nonprofit organization, has depended on the generosity of friends like you to help in our global mision of bringing SDA Christian-based programs and courses to those with educational challenges. You may not feel like you can leave your home and help out in a developing country or deliver aid to an individual who is trying to break the cycle of poverty. Today, with your gift, you can educate a pastor, develop a ministerial course or place a soul-winning program online that will not only empower a minister, but will change for eternity the many lives he or she will teach. Please prayerfully consider the needs of these pastors and how you can help: Scholarship for one pastor per year (250 needed) 600 remote pastors in China need online SDA coursework in Mandarin Chinese, Development per course (12 needed) Development of all training and certification programs online Development of Master of Christian Ministry program online If you would like to support financially, please visit our online donation form or call us toll-free at (800) 782-4769 for further information.
