STN International’ vision remains the same
Past nine years, our ‘yesterday’ were with labor of love displayed in our ministry of teaching and equipping the trainers.
The Lord had protected us, in many of our international travels and kept us safe in several cities in India. Many doors were opened for the ministry. The supply for our needs were met as some donated their blood and platelets, some their air miles, some articles of auction and sacrificial giving. These contributions of ‘yesterday’ have led us not only to achieve our goal of seeing new churches planted and multiplication in equipping but also opened new avenues of ministry for ‘today’. Fire is ignited!
‘Today’ we marvel at God’s many acts of wonders and humbled to see remote villages reached with the message of Truth.
Right now there are many who are turning to accept the Way. On the left the photo displays a fact of how the new ones are trained and teaching given to new groups of unreached ‘world’. ‘Today’ points out to many activities of our STN graduates who are actively and aggressively involved to see the Truth proclaimed. Today, we are encountered with many challenges to oversee the ministry. Fire is glowing!
Here is a photo (below) with Duane and Janet prior to our moving from the US. This couple have been a great blessing with their prayer, love and support.
‘Tomorrow’ appears to be a brighter day.
With our move to India, Flory and I envision to visit more of our STN India graduates who are scattered in North, NW, NE and South India. Pakistan, and Nepal are countries to be visited soon. Women are looking forward to receiving teaching.
With yesterday’s sowing, today we stand at the threshold to see greater things happen for tomorrow.
This is possible only when you pray, and cheerfully give as the Lord leads. Fire would spread rapidly!
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.
