[ps2id id=’about’ target=”/] STN focuses on training local pastors, evangelists and church planters so that they can reach their own villages and regions with the gospel.
Pastors come from their rural villages in Latin America and East Asia to be trained regionally in their own languages.
Experienced Bible teachers provide in-depth Bible training for pastors who cannot otherwise receive this kind of training.
Some of our program graduates will be further equipped to train new church planters in their regions.
Ryder Kumar is serving as our International Director. As one of the founding members of Shepherding the Nations, it was Ryder's vision to see pastors trained and equipped for ministry that became the foundation of Shepherding the Nations.
Shepherding the Nations has identified qualified and called men who are already working in unreached areas of India and Nepal. We are providing the training to better equip them and the financial resources to support them in their ministries.
Our directors have been equipped to teach our ten-volume training curriculum. These key men are training indigenous pastors and church planters while also providing accountability, resources materials, and support. 
During our training program, we provide our ten volume set of curriculum from the Biblical Training Centre for Pastors (BTCP) in their local language. We also provide essentials resources such as Bible Concordance and Study Bible. We have been able to provide these books to all of our pastors through the generous donations of our donors. These books can be purchased for about $10 each or an entire set for $100.
