Developing Local Pastors for Remote Villages

Supporting Bible college students in remote places
Global Mission Partners is dedicated to supporting the growth and development of local pastors in Papua New Guinea. We ensure that these pastors—and the students training for ministry—are well-prepared to meet the challenges posed by their diverse and often isolated contexts.
What is Gandep Bible and Yamen Bible Colleges?
Gandep Bible and Yamen Bible Colleges are two Bible schools that equip students to share the Gospel with people living in remote villages of Papua New Guinea. The colleges train men and women to be spiritually ready so they can return and help their local sending churches.
What is the impact of this project?
Students are supported and equipped at Gandep Bible College for ministry in their local contexts. By subsidising their college fees and supporting their travel to rural church planting and ministry settings, future leaders are being prepared to make a lasting impact in their communities. Students return to their local churches on completion of their diploma studies, spiritually strengthened and ready to minister in their villages.
Global Mission Partners continues to be committed to the leadership development of student pastors at Yamen Bible School.
