14. Tremendous growth is taking place in these countries and new churches need trained and ordained pastors Many pastors are pastoring multiple churches already and literally are putting their lives on the line serving God High Level Reasons

15. Much of the growth is via Jesus Film teams reaching people from other faiths (Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism) which lack basic Judeo-Christian understanding It is imperative that we partner with them in this way because the Global church does not have global missionaries assigned to these countries so we must train indigenous pastors and leaders
