From Ryder –
As I write this to you Keith is in his first session of 4 ½ sessions today. Suresh is doing a good interpretation. Again he broke out in tears last evening at different times while doing the interpretation. Another thing that has happened yesterday was a wonderful reconciliation between two brothers who had difficulties, struggles and tensions over few months in their relationships. Both attend our seminars and they had some problems during the time they attended our seminar in November 2009. This mounted up. Their Pastor came to me for help the other day. Keeping up with the precedence of my guru, Paul Brown and my baba Randy, I took the challenge prayerfully to sit in three sessions with these guys. The end of the story is victory of our Lord in their lives as they confessed and reconciled.
We had Pauline and Maxwell the other day for breakfast at Clark’s Avadh. You may remember them from last time. Both of them had non stop sharing in the blessing that they received during Nov 09 seminar on family when Paul preached. They cherish that message, remember it and loved the teaching. They said nothing about my message that preached last Sunday but kept telling about Paul’s teaching. (should I be envious? How can I be when the people are being blessed – I am emotional with eyes getting wet).
The Lord willing we leave this evening which is your Friday 5 a.m. Please pray as I dread that long flight of 16 hours by Emirates. Please pray for Keith who also will have similar flight. We will spend several hours at the Delhi International airport during midnight until early morning.
I can’t wait to seeing you all to share more of all that has happened here as an answer to pray.
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.
