Watch as Doug Shiplett shares about how he sees God powerfully working through the church in Vietnam and how church leaders are being equipped through BILD partnerships in Vietnam.

A major milestone has been reached in the training of Teacher-Trainers through the Every Tongue and Tribe (ETTC)/BILD training program!

At the January 10-12 training event at Cape Comorin, around 300 Teacher-Trainers were recognized as having completed the first phase of their ETTC/BILD training. Now, including these 300 newly-trained leaders, 3,000 Teacher-Trainers have completed the first phase of their training.  The training of these 3,000 leaders began in 2008 and has been carried out in Chennai, Vijayawada, Gujarat, Mumbai, Allahabad, Karnataka and finally at Cape Comorin.

“We are eager to see the exponential impact of these trainings as these leaders continue the process of equipping 30,000 grassroots-level church planters! “

— Jeff Reed, President and CEO, BILD International

Exponential Growth–3,000 Training 30,000: As these 3,000 leaders have progressed through training, they in turn have been training 10 grassroots-level church planters each.  This has resulted in nearly 30,000 grassroots church planters equipped for the task of planting and beginning to establish churches across India!
