There are four South India Bible Colleges operating to train preachers. Nothing is taught but the Bible. Once a year classes are conducted in leadership training to encourage men to qualify themselves to serve as elders and deacons. There are also yearly classes for women, for youth, and to train translators. The number enrolled is dependent upon the funds available, as students who come from a distance are provided food and lodging while attending. At Kurnool, a fine church provides monthly operating expenses. The brethren are very thankful to them for making the school possible. Brethren there are also hoping and praying that the church will one day have their own building that can provide classroom space, toilet facilities, sleeping area for the students, and a kitchen/dining hall. They estimate the cost at about $35,000.00.
