Country Profile:
India is the second most populous nation on the planet with over 1.3 billion people living in a land mass 1/3 the size of the continental United States.  India is predominantly a Hindu country.  However, there is a strong Christian population there which is coming under ever increasing persecution by Hindu and Muslim extremists.

TRAIN Involvement:
TRAIN has an on-going teaching ministry every two years at the Evangelical Theological Seminary near Bangalore.  Currently Sam is training approximately 75 seminarians from India, Nepal, and Myanmar who are preparing to be Pastors, church planters, evangelists, and Christian leaders in a variety of ministries.  When the students graduate with a seminary degree, they will try to reach the 1 out of 6 people on the planet who live in India, as well as those in surrounding countries with the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

Country Profile:
The Middle East is the land of the Bible. But in today's world the Middle East is in constant political, religious, and military turmoil. However, there is a deep spiritual hunger for meaning and purpose in life. Some Middle Eastern countries are closed to Christian missionaries. However, God has raised up Christian believers in every country sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and leading underground churches or open churches depending on the country.

TRAIN Involvement:
TRAIN works in partnership with Step Forward Global Ministries that focuses on training Pastors and Christian leaders in Middle Eastern countries as well as in North Africa. HUB conferences have been the strategy for training, bringing the Christian leaders out of their countries for a training conference to Cyprus or Lebanon where the training can relatively safely take place.

TRAIN Conferences:
TRAIN has already been involved in 5 training conferences for Middle Eastern Christian leaders in Cyprus, and once in Lebanon for key women leaders from Lebanon and the Middle East. In the fall of 2022 there will be a major international training conference of Middle Eastern Christian leaders in Beirut, Lebanon.
