Silk Road Educational Network

I truly believe that the days where the vast number of missionaries raise support, and then rely on that support to sustain them in the long term, are numbered. For short term missions, it’s still a viable method of support raising. However, the statistics show that the average church goers are just not giving anymore. How can they be blamed? Their families need food on the table and philanthropic giving is always first on the cutting block when wallets get lean (which is biblical, take care of your own house first, 1st Timothy 5:8). Yet, the Great Commission remains! What are missionaries and mission organizations to do? Pull back in times of hardship and forge ahead in times of plenty? That is historically how things have been done however what if there was another way?

In my younger days, I dreamed of preaching the Gospel in places like India, Nepal, China, and Kazakhstan. Now that I’m several years into my ministry, I’ve preached in all those places and then some. You can read about those expeditions here on this site. While traveling on the Silk Road I’ve personally seen the need for both missionaries to preach the gospel and schools to educate the next generation of disciple makers. Meeting both of those needs with one solution is the way forward for SRM.

Thus the idea of the Silk Road Educational Network was borne from the idea that it was possible to both make a viable living while serving the Lord. Classical Christian education is making a comeback in both the private and homeschool worlds. And international education is a growing global industry (especially in Asia). I see an opportunity here and don’t want to waste it!

Please use the sidebar to explore different aspects of the network. I will update this site regularly with new details as they emerge. I appreciate your prayers and support!
