As a result we have been able to train 100+ pastors and support many of them monthly as they plant…

For some reason, the Lord allowed our team to experience some difficult struggles such as we have never had before. It was clear that our enemy wanted to thwart us and steal our joy. But just as clearly, we were convinced that the Lord wanted us to depend…

Significant and Historical Mission Trip
By Ryder Kumar, International Director STN International.

India 2014
As in years gone by, I come to my computer to write to you about my recent trip to India. I have the very familiar sense of humility, gratefulness, unworthiness, and wonder at God’s grace.
