BIBLE COLLEGE

Training, Equipping, Sending, Planting:

"How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? Romans 10:14-15.

Go? or Send?
This is the theme of GTSSS. It is not easy for a poor man who has received a clear call from the Lord to go to a Bible college, unless the Bible College is in the position to meet his needs for food, lodging, and teaching.

In the first week of November 1995, by the Grace of the Lord, we started our first Bible College under a mango tree with 15 students. They had burning hearts to learn God’s word. They never looked for a building or for classrooms, but were willing to sit on the ground under a mango tree to learn God’s word.

At the time, the course was just two months long. At the completion of the course, we fasted and prayed. Then, we sent them back to their own people to establish churches within their own communities. Today, most of those very first students have become pioneers of the mission work in their respective areas. Further, each one of them has established more than 10 churches.

From that humble beginning, we have trained 911 students. Of those students, 737 are on the mission field fulltime, investing their lives by standing on the front line. The theme of this project is training, equipping, sending and planting. Our vision is to have native missionaries reach their people group.

Romans 10:13-14

Who will go?
Who will send?
Who will pray?
Who will support?
Who will stand?

How can you be a part?
Our missionaries are poor men. When they receive the call to ministry from the Lord, they have no money. What they do have is a heart to serve and a desire to learn more about Our Wonderful Saviour and His word. Yet, they are not able to afford Bible college fees, but they want to prepare themselves. In such cases, we provide shelter, food, and teaching at no cost to them. Therefore, we request your genuine prayers and support for this project.

(A) To provide food for a month for a Bible college student, the cost is Rs.2500 (US $50/£32 /€40)

(B) To support a group of 100 students for 1 Month course Rs.2,50,000 (US $ 5000/ £3125 /€3571)

(D) When newly graduated pastors go out into the mission field to establish a church, there are no believers and no church. So, they have to start their own mission. We provide support to these new pastors for four to five years, or until they are able to derive enough support from the newly established church.

New Bible College Building (Facility):

We started our first Native Missionaries Training program under a mango tree in a backward village, called Duginepalli, in November 1995. We prayed for a proper facility for our Bible College for many years. We praise God that after 17 years of praying, the Lord answered our prayers and provided us with a proper Bible College building facility. The facility is located on our GTSSS Grace Campus, at Tanikella, Khammam. We praise God for Dear Mother Outi and Brother Tommi Capel and friends who sacrificed and raised resources to build the "Burning Heart Grace Bible College Building." This project was dedicated on August 19, 2011. We thank God for all of our friends who prayed for us and stood behind this project.


Newly Inaugurated Bible College Building	Bible College Students

Now, we can easily accommodate 150 students. At the moment, we have about 100 students in our training program (March 2013). In the future, we are planning to accept more students as the Lord provides.

Our Future plans: We are praying to establish Bible Colleges in five regions of the country to train native missionaries.
