Tammy Werth will be joining us for the first time for our upcoming short-term mission trip to India. She writes the following about her decision to join our team:
“God has given me a passion for India and I feel as if I am already connected to many on the other side of the world; I am humbled by this life changing opportunity. God called me to support the ministry of Shepherding the Nations with my organizational and accounting skills shortly after STN received non-profit approval in 2007. I pray for the pastors, know their profile pictures, have the joy of finding sponsors for them and have enthusiastically read every field report for many years. How gracious God is to allow me to finally meet these men and their wives face to face.”
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.
