I am headed to Quito, Ecuador on Sunday, March 27 for seven days. I will be meeting with Mission Aviation Fellowship leadership in the Latin America region, sharing about our growing, global ministry through Learning Technologies. We are already working in Latin America, but the opportunities for us to broaden our service to church leaders, church planters and Latin missionaries through Learning Technologies are tremendous!

LT Positioned to Serve 21st Century Church
Submitted by jmanley on Thu, 10/14/2010 - 15:21Katmandu, Nepal: LT Director, Richard Morris, writes from the Increase Asia Leader's Training Conference:
To be among Christians from all over Asia who are dedicated to reaching their own people just blows my mind! We have 80 leaders representing 32 training ministries from 30 countries.
Our host is a Nepalese ministry doing training. Their leader shared that the church in Nepal is growing at 16% a year. For hundreds of years the gospel was prevented from coming here and early missionary efforts produced little fruit. We heard the stories showing how the enemy had this place locked up tight. In the mid-nineties a change of government allowed for the church to grow and grow it did, on a scale that is amazing. Now the challenge is to train the churches to accommodate the new believers, to disciple them , and prepare godly leaders.
Yesterday, we had a presentation from the head of the Theological Commission of the World Evangelical Association about the challenges facing the church in the 21st century. As chairman of the conference organizing committee I was in a lunch to welcome him. I asked him to summarize the main issues for theological training. One of his two issues was...
...the critical need to train people where they live, work and minister and not to extract them for training which so often renders them useless for impacting their culture.
This was very encouraging for me because our ministry is all about keeping people in their location while receiving training.
