Support One of Our Projects
Pan-Regional Arabic Language Project
Leadership Training and Development
EME Ministries is leading a partnership together with Vision International University and the Global 12 Project of Bethany World Prayer Center to produce a complete Bachelor's level program in the Arabic language in DVD and digital formats. The program will be recorded entirely by Arabic speaking instructors, with study guides, textbooks and other materials all provided in Arabic as well. Local churches will be empowered to open training centers with the use of the curriculum, and students unable to reach a local center will be able to study in one of three platforms currently under development.
- Distance Learning.
- An on-line program, which will have the complete video based instruction available. Students will be able to sign in from any secure location to study.
- Satellite programming (potential).
This project has been received enthusiastically by many leaders in the region who are helping us find the instructors. Professional recording opportunities are being created in Kuwait, Lebanon, Egypt and by a
mobile team that will be able to travel and utilize the best available instructors.
Funding is needed for the equipment, for the instructors' stipends, and for the translation of material. Already nearly $20,000 has been raised from within the region itself. (A special thanks is necessary to the National Evangelical Church of Kuwait for spearheading this effort!)
This is a Herculean effort that is going to bring a wonderful opportunity to the developing leaders of the region, and to the churches that are hungry for quality, qualified programs to help develop their people. The program will eventually be expanded to include a number of marketplace degrees. Projected budget is $150,000.
Similar projects are being planned for the Greek and Albanian communities as well. Equipment is already on the way and teachers are being sought to take on the development of the courses. Your partnership is essential!
