The Master's Academy International – Regional Summit

Visiting faculty members from TMAI institutes in Japan, India, Philippines, and other related ministries in Australia and Singapore attended a regional summit here in Hastings, New Zealand this week. It was our joy to host these two days of meetings in which the various representatives discussed ministry training concepts and shared ideas on how to improve our training institutes.

The Shepherd's Bible College is thankful for the relationships formed at such meetings through The Master's Academy International network. Out of these summits flow a wealth of information-sharing, new ideas, and encouragements.

Please continue to pray for TMAI institutes around the globe which have the same focus and heartbeat as The Shepherd's Bible College.
