INSPIRATION
“Many would be willing to work if they were taught how to begin. They need to be instructed and encouraged. Every church should be a training school for Christian workers.” – Ministry of Healing, 149

“Long has God waited for the spirit of service to take possession of the whole church so that everyone shall be working for Him according to his ability. When the members of the church of God do their appointed work in the needy fields at home and abroad, in fulfillment of the gospel commission, the whole world will soon be warned and the Lord Jesus will return to this earth with power and great glory… Matthew 24:14.” – Acts of the Apostles, 111

“A well-balanced work can be carried on best in the cities when a Bible school for the training of workers is in progress while public meetings are being held. Connected with this training-school or city mission should be experienced laborers of deep spiritual understanding, who can give the Bible-workers daily instruction, and who can also unite whole-heartedly in the general public effort… Such a mission, if conducted by those who know how to manage wisely, will be a light shining in a dark place.” – Gospel Workers, 364-365

“One worker who has been trained and educated for the work, who is controlled by the Spirit of Christ, will accomplish far more than ten laborers who go out deficient in knowledge, and weak in the faith.” – Evangelism 109

“And he said to me, ‘You must prophesy again before many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.’” – Revelation 10:11

TESTIMONIES
Jennie Levinsson, Sweden:
“It is said that we learn 5% by lecture and 90% by teaching others, I think this is very true. The first day of classes when Jonathan told us that we were going to give bible studies by ourselves, everything became so real to me. And I realised that what I was so excited to do, I was so afraid of- sharing the gospel to the world. Sad of this realisation I prayed to God for willingness and joy for this awesome work. For the most honourable and privileged work to cooperate with God Himself! By this school God transformed me. Little by little, by getting a more clear view of what, how and when, but mostly by actually doing it. The first time I held a bible study I was so nervous, but afterward I had the greatest joy I’ve ever experienced!

It’s so true what Ellen white says: ‘In our life here, earthly, sin-restricted, though it is, the greatest joy and the highest education are in service.’ – Education, 309.

Besides all the rich knowledge I have gained through the lectures by these experienced bible workers, which I am so privileged and thankful for, I have learned something very precious. Because of this school, with theoretical and practical education combined, I understood something I would never understand by mere knowledge alone. By experience I understood that this is indeed the most honourable, privileged and joyful work we can ever do, and we have nothing to fear. It is my desire that you will have the same experience as me.

If you are excited, eager and perhaps afraid to share the gospel, if you want to be trained by elite bible workers and learn how to be a good one yourself. Not just learn about it, but becoming one and experience the greatest joy. Then this mission training program is for you.”

Roger Barros, Brazil:
“I have indeed been blessed by learning from and working alongside people with much experience from the evangelistic field. What better place to be than at Roparna Mission Training Program – where you learn practically how to be a good Bible worker? Why not come and join us?”

OBJECTIVE
Would it not be nice if you could find seekers which you could start to study the Bible with? And that you could help to see the beauty of the gospel?

That’s in short what this program is designed to do: to teach you how to find seekers and to empower you to effectively and comfortably share the everlasting gospel with them! This purpose is accomplished through a combination of classes, outreach, and mentoring.
