Training 40,000 Missionaries Yearly

This seminary is strategically located in the mid-western region -- an area very hostile to Christians where leaders have been tested. They are praying for additional help so that more missionaries can be prepared to reach these lost souls for Christ.

Every morning before sunrise many Bible schools begin the day with prayer.
Antioch Seminary is an "underground" Bible school. This means they are not approved by the communist government. It also means that they cannot operate openly as do those associated with the Three Self Church.

The Three Self Church is purported to be a Christian church, but it is more often a “window display” to the world implying religious freedom. Bible believing, born-again Christians with a burden to fulfill the Great Commission are generally not acceptable. But there are some exceptions: Humanitarian efforts made by Christians are tolerated under some circumstances.

The "aboveground" school

In Fujian Province there is a ten story building, part of which is used as a nursing home and infirmary operated by Christians. The first two or three stories are used to take care of the sick and the elderly. Those who are unable to walk have to be carried up the stairs because there is no elevator.

When the local officials visited the home they climbed the stairs to inspect everything and then commended the staff for the excellent humanitarian work they were doing. But they only went as far as the third floor! If they had gone up to the top five floors they would have discovered dormitories, classrooms and young students bustling with life and activity.

Trainees become teachers

By the grace of God, and with help from Christian Aid supporters, students are graduating from these colleges, training centers and seminaries well equipped to impart wisdom, leadership and deeper spirituality to their disciples. Many of these disciples will become teachers themselves or they will serve as missionaries, church planters or pastors.
