DR. JOHN SIRCAR
Dr. Sircar founded Bangladesh Theological Seminary, in March, 1990. With the help of visiting professors, this seminary offers high level training to students from all over Bangladesh, preparing them for ministry to their own people. In conjunction with the Seminary, Dr. Sircar operates a Bible college, and an orphanage. Students of the seminary and Bible College have planted more than 10 rural churches and started several primary schools in the villages. The orphanage provides physical and spiritual refuge to some of the many orphaned children. This ministry exists in the heart of a militant Muslim country, with overt hostility toward Christianity.

CHINESE EVANGELISTS
The underground church in China is organized into a number of groups, each of which has ongoing needs for Bibles, education, teaching materials and encouragement. Anonymous evangelists risk their lives daily to spread the Good News and offer support to the underground church. The result is much fruit in the midst of an often dangerous environment.

JOHN AND ESTERA VATRAN
John and Estera Vatran returned to their native Romania after being educated in the United States. There they work in leadership training, street evangelism, church planting and humanitarian works. John also teaches at the Baptist Theological Seminary in Bucharest, and recently has had government blessing in sharing “Principles of Morality” with public school teachers, using the Gospel of Luke.

MIRCHE ANDREEV
Mirche Andreev established the “Macedonian Mission to the Balkans” to plant churches in the 35 cities in the former Yugoslavia, which had more than 50,000 people with no evangelical church. His basic vision remains unchanged, but the war and its aftermath presented the need for different strategies, new alliances and involvement in relief work, which in turn has opened additional avenues for sharing the Gospel. The mission now has 12 target cities and each one has a work in progress. The ministry is multi-faceted, involving presenting the Jesus film, literature distribution, seminars, evangelistic meetings, Bible studies, home visitation and Sunday services, in addition to extensive humanitarian work such as food distribution.

MANNY FERNANDEZ
Manny Fernandez lay in his hospital bed not knowing who he was, where he was, or even what language he spoke. He had just been in a severe bicycle accident with a car, but the Lord, having bigger plans for him, spared his life and helped him recover.

At this pivotal point in his life, Manny came to understand that tomorrow is no guarantee. ‘That’s why I began to share the Gospel with everybody!’ To this day, Manny, a Multnomah, alumnus, remains devoted to spreading the Gospel to people around the world by training and deploying church planters through his agency, World Link Ministries. ‘TRAIN AND DEPLOY IS WHAT WE SEE AS THE GREAT COMMISSION.’
