- Please pray for Ryder and Flory to draw near to the Lord, grow strong in their marriage, stay healthy, walk in the Spirit, and discern God’s will on a moment-by-moment basis. In a country that has such enormous needs it is easy to get overwhelmed or say “yes” to too many things. Thank you for praying that they will work hard but also find times of quiet rest and refreshment.
- Pray for Eddie Bueno and the launch of Shepherding the Nations in Bolivia in March, 2016.
- Please pray for the Lord to provide new sponsors for the pastors that are currently without monthly sponsors.
- Pray for more donors to support Ryder & Flory as they are about $2,000 short of their monthly need.
- Praise God for the pastors that are desiring training in Nepal, Pakistan, India, Bolivia, Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina. Pray that God will help us to strategically select pastors and locations for the training that will begin this year in up to seven countries.
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.
