Some training centers do not have chairs and desks, but this does not deter them from giving proper training.

Who are these trainees? From where do they come? Local pastors in existing church fellowships pray for wisdom in identifying new believers who are called to reach their own people. Often the students have very little money and sometimes have a family to support, so that the training time represents a real sacrifice. Yet, they are ready to follow where the Lord leads them.

New Anointing Ministries, reaching the unreached in Punjab, will be holding classes two to three days a week, as they restart their Bible school training. Each graduate of the school speaks Hindi, Punjabi and English. Their program includes one year of basic study and a two-year apprenticeship under a senior pastor.

Ministries use buildings for many purposes. This one, under construction, is used for both family fellowship meetings and missionary training.

The training of these students is very comprehensive. It includes health education, knowledge of government laws and rules, linguistics and vocational training. Literacy training is another way the students can reach out to villagers, as they share the love of God with the Punjabis.

Anugraha Seva Mandal (ASM) in Maharashtra State, has a missionary training center in Nagpur.
