Mission needs in our own neighbourhoods – PAT (Pastors with Alternate Training)
Pastors with Alternate Training students and their mentors attended a week-long course in Winnipeg.
Eight new Canadians from India, Africa, Central America and Madagascar with backgrounds in various professions are studying to be pastors to reach out to their own communities and cultures. They are studying in places like Toronto, Montreal, Winnipeg, Edmonton and Surrey, B.C. Local Lutheran pastors are appointed as mentors and instructors to tutor and train these candidates in Lutheran theology. The funds will assist in covering the expenses related to teaching, books and teaching resources.
