French and Spanish Student Tuition Program – Coram Deo Assoc of Churches

The Center for the Study of Global Christianity at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary estimates that only 5% of the world’s serving pastors have formal theological training at the bachelor's or master’s level. Most non-English-speaking pastors today have only partial formal, some informal, or no theological training at all. RCA Global Mission has partnered with the Coram Deo Association of Churches since 2021 to train French-speaking and Spanish-speaking pastor candidates through an information model, equipping leaders who are already serving in a church with the training they need to become more effective pastors through a 2-4 year part-time study. With most leaders in this program being bi-vocational and current economic uncertainties, it has become more difficult for candidates to commit to starting the program or for students to pay tuition regularly. Your gift will help provide a scholarship match to French and Spanish language students that will help set them up for success in ministry wherever God is calling them.
