From 2005 - 2023 we at Pacific Island Ministries in Papua New Guinea have done one pastors' course every year.  It's a one week pastors course,...we usually have 20-80 pastors in attendance.  The pastors who attend have very much appreciated these courses.  

Beginning last year 2024 we have conducted two one week pastors courses, the first in Ambunti and the second in Brugam.  Both AOG pastors and SSEC (South Seas Evangelical Church) pastors have attended our courses in Ambunti.  Only SSEC pastors have attended our Brugam course.  

In 2024 we had some 250 pastors attend the two courses, with about 97 attending the Ambunti course and approx 150 attending the Brugam course.  These pastors are so hungry and eager to learn.  They very much appreciate the resources we distribute to them.  We have distributed books I have written, such as Ten Hot Topics and 11 More Hot Topics and Leadership for Melanesia.  

This year 2025 we again conducted two courses and again we had over 200 in attendance.  About 85 attended the Ambunti course and approximately 120 attended the Brugam course.  

A good share, over half, of these pastors have attended some kind of Bible School.  However some of the pastors have never attended any Bible School.  Plus, all these pastors do not get paid for their labor of love.
