Talua Seminary & Training Centre, Vanuatu
Talua continues the tradition of the Presbyterian Church in providing advanced training to pastors and lay leaders. At Vanuatu's independence in 1980, Talua provided the bulk of the leaders of the new government, since they were the most highly trained local people and they continue that tradition. Today, Talua offers a Bachelors of Ministry Degree, programs in Christian Education, Evangelism and Field Mission Work. Donations will provide scholarships for training pastors and lay leaders, including women, as well as for short-term (one year) evangelist training programs. Talua recently has begun a program of outreach to villages all over Vanuatu providing training in conflict resolution, leadership and village development. Donations to this ECO will allow for additional aspiring men and women to enter ministry, provide better Christian Education and further evangelism efforts throughout the country.
