Training & Sending Global Workers
Greetings to you! Welcome to another edition of our SALT Next Gen Update! The photo above is a picture I took during one of or Global Worker Training sessions which we have every Monday and Wednesday with our Gap Year team and their team leaders, Benja and Anna.
We have just completed 6 weeks of our 14-week training semester! Students are trained in a classroom setting twice a week in four Training Topics: Character and Calling, Evangelism and Discipleship, Cross-Cultural Understanding and Communication, and Leadership and Team Dynamics.
In addition to classroom training, these students are required to serve alongside our Resident Ministry Team throughout the week as we do ministry among primarily refugee people groups who have been resettled here in southeast Nashville. Pray for our Gap Year students as they will spend the spring semester (Feb-May) in Berlin where they will be working in an international church and assisting with outreach ministry to refugee populations there in Germany.
Here are some other updates in this month's newsletter:
As always, we want to say 'Thank You!' We couldn't do any of these things without your prayers and support. Thank you for holding up the mission of SALT Next Gen Ministries!

As most of you are aware, our organization hosts Cultural Encounter tours for churches, youth groups, Christian Schools, etc. in our ministry area in Nashville as a way to raise awareness about our ministry while providing training for those who are excited about partnering in the work of missions. We take groups to a local Hindu Temple and the priest of that temple, Sam, has become a good friend. Benja and I recently had the opportunity to have lunch with Sam and continue to invest in our relationship with him. Praying for him and other Hindus that they would find freedom and new life in Jesus!
"We are having Gospel conversation weekly with old and new friends. The Lord has brought the nations to our backyard. The Holy Spirit is opening eyes to the Gospel. Pray specifically for the Pashtun people group from Afghanistan, one of the biggest unreached people groups in the world and we are dear friends with some of them in Clarkston. Yet there is still a lot is a lot of work to be done here. Pray for us and all the workers and Clarkston to be faithful to God in making disciples and making sure they all have heard. Pray for the precious kids in our apartment complex and their families to come to know the hope and goodness of Christ! Pray for a reveal among the Afghan people here, for more souls to Christ, and for a church to be planted in their languages!"
