Scholarship Fund
We have designed a Scholarship Fund to help ministers who have a genuine call on their life and want to be trained, but do not have the funds for training. Also over the years we have learned that usually when you give people something for no cost it is not appreciated or utilized as it should be. Therefore, we have developed the Scholarship Fund to help those who are called and will trust God for their part through their believing, investment and study.
Here’s how the Scholarship Fund generally works:
There are four major parts to the costs:
Introducing Paul & Ashley Perry
Paul and Ashley Perry direct Global Equip Ministries, Inc. based in Brazil, South America. Paul hails from Missouri and Ashley from Singapore. So how did they end up in Brazil?
Paul, a graduate of Christ for the Nations Institute (Dallas, Texas) had first come to Brazil in 1998 with his wife Rebecca. Shortly after their arrival, she was diagnosed with cancer and died a short time later. Following her passing, Paul returned to the United States and during this time was introduced to the International School of Ministry (ISOM) program.
Paul found himself in India working with a ministry establishing schools of ministry using the
ISOM (www.isom.org) curriculum with good success. During this period of his life he met the beautiful Miss Ashley Tan. Ashley was in India serving as a missionary from her native Singapore. She and Paul were married and returned to Brazil where they established Living Stones Ranch, a missions training center, conference center
and retreat center. This beautiful facility provides a base of operations for Paul and Ashley as they also work with a group digging clean water wells in the Amazon region. 
Ashley received her Master of Ministry from CTS in 2011 and is currently working on her doctoral program. Paul is also a CTS student as time permits with his busy schedule. Take a few moments and visit their website at www.globalequip.net. Bless them as they bless the nation of Brazil.

Devoted for a lifetime of productive service... Our seminary is devoted to the purpose of training already-committed believers for a lifetime of productive service to the Lord Jesus Christ and His Church. Our courses are Bible-centered and our commitment is to provide spiritual growth for ministers, thereby preparing them for the work of the ministry through the power of the Holy Spirit. Equipping the saints to do ministry... Covenant Theological Seminary was founded upon the goal to “equip the saints to do the work of the ministry,” as well as honor and recognize ministers for their labors with the main GOAL to DUPLICATE ourselves and the materials for the training of ministers, just as Jesus commanded us in Matthew 28:19-20, and as did the Apostle Paul in 2 Timothy 2:2 So that the minister would live the message... We believe the quality of preparation for our students is far beyond that of most seminaries mainly because our materials deal with the personal growth of the minister, rather than just knowledge about the ministry, or just the message. In other words, our main objective is to prepare the minister so that he or she would live the message, rather than just preach it. This is the heart of CTS. As part of this process, the accessibility of the curriculum is of utmost importance. Therefore, CTS makes courses available in several ways allowing you to choose the option that works best for you. These options are: On campus classes conducted in Greenville, NC; satellite campuses are located in a variety of locales, (contact us about possible locations near you); Online through our CTSOnline program allowing you to take the courses in a self-paced manner; or for the student who is not as computer saavy, our courses are available through our Distance Learning program. Again a self-paced program that allows you to work within your schedule. Take a look through our site. We look forward to serving you. |

Comments & News
We thank God for CTS as it provides us with the opportunity to study on-line while we travel as missionaries in Eastern Europe. As we looked at several ways to continue our studies we did not find a suitable format until we were introduced to CTS. Since we started our studies we have been blessed with the lesson material. Our opinions are challenged and being saved for more than 30 years, we realize that there is still a lot to learn. We hope to partner with CTS in our mission work as we conduct training sessions here in Eastern Europe.
