A Special Update
PLAN FOR 2023
2023 is full speed ahead. Our plans include:
A Legacy with a Future
The RHEMA Institute for Pastor Training has been providing quality training for aspiring pastors for the past 27 years. The legacy of Dr. Ron Herrod, its founder, lives on with the team of leaders that are inspired to continue our mission into the next generation. Joseph Herrod leads the organization with the tremendous commitment of the next generation of Indian leaders.
Most Effective and Efficient Approach
The program is designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and practical experience needed to succeed in ministry. The best part? The RHEMA Institute is completely free to students. The institute provides lodging, meals, training manuals, notebooks, and supplies, making it accessible to all who are called to ministry.
The dedicated teachers at the RHEMA Institute volunteer their time and expertise to ensure that every student receives the support and guidance they need to excel. While the average cost per student is $700, the value of the training received is immeasurable.
They Go Where We Can’t
We don’t speak the language; THEY do.
We aren’t embedded in the culture; THEY are.
We won’t endure their sacrifices; THEY do.
We won’t be there when disaster strikes; THEY will.
Our Pastors lead churches, schools, orphanages, food banks, shelters.
Pastors Make Huge Impact
R.H.E.M.A. trained Pastors serve their communities in various ways:
- As pastors to a local church
- As a leader in a Christian school
- As a leader in a Christian orphanage
- Rescuing children from the sex trade
- Providing food and water to those hit by tragedy
- Providing earning opportunity through micro-enterprise

ONLINE COURSES
For several years it has been our vision to provide additional training to our graduates; training that included deeper dives into specific topics, or more comprehensive studies of specific books of the Bible.
In 2020, we were unable to conduct business as usual due to Covid lockdowns and travel restrictions. We took that opportunity and time to produce several courses on advanced topics. Our teachers invested time to teach via video that can be accessed by any student from any personal online device. We are excited about how these classes are being used.
New courses will be added this year!
