Bow to God not Man

Posted on September 10, 2024

  Summer vacation has always been prime time for Bible camps. Yet due to severe weather conditions, such activities have all but disappeared in many East Asian regions. Even so, bold believers fight on for the Truth by organizing creative alternatives, and risking their lives! Jacob is a house church leader with a passion for children and family ministry. Faced with the strict prohibition laws against evangelizing to children under 18 years of age, he has been unable to hold any summer outreach camps for years. He has often struggled, “Should I obey God or...

The Beginning of Wisdom

Posted on July 14, 2024

The pandemic is behind us now, but story after story continues to pour in from the field, testifying to the zeal for SALT training in spite of great risk at the time. In mid-2021, at the peak of the pandemic, widespread areas throughout East Asia were forced into lockdown. Large group gatherings were strictly prohibited, but even small group gatherings were unsafe to hold. As a result, many churches lacked spiritual feeding and dried up. Miraculously, a few bold churches defied the odds to pursue Bible study. CL was one such example.It was...

What COVID Could Not Stop

Posted on May 5, 2024

March 2021 saw the peak of the pandemic across East Asia. While most citizens were hiding at home in fear of further outbreaks, a group of church leaders risked their lives and seized every opportunity to partake in SALT's Three-Year Certificate Program at our NP training site. At last, they overcame all obstacles and successfully graduated! At the graduation ceremony, student speaker John Tan (pseudonym) shared highlights of their take-aways: "During these past few years I have witnessed our growth, and we have strengthened our loyalty to the Lord. We took a total of ten...

Not so for Max who has chosen to press on and labor for the Lord! Max joined SALT as a first-generation teacher back in the 1990s and served faithfully for more than 20 years. After officially retiring two years ago, he not only refused to rest, but started afresh in his hometown where he continued to transfer SALT courses on a different track. Max remains close with our SALT team....

Battling on in the New Year

Posted on January 2, 2024

On behalf of SALT, we wish you all a blessed new year in God's grace! As we reflect on the past year, we rejoice that our ministry miraculously expanded beyond our expectations, largely due to the long-awaited cancelation of East Asia's zero-COVID policy. We conducted 45 trainings, exceeding our annual goal of 40 trainings for the first time since 2021. However, we cannot give credit for this growth to any improvement in the general climate. In fact, this was possible only by the favor of God who has allowed SALT, a...

Feedback from the Field

Posted on November 8, 2023

PTL for the positive responses from students who participated in the two field tests of our latest course, the Book of Nehemiah! Listen to what Brother Xu had to say about how it impacted his personal spiritual life:  "This course has been very helpful for my spiritual life. A Christian's growth depends on knowing God and understanding His word. This was the first time I learned through expository teaching about a book from the Bible. It is a systematic and comprehensive approach that greatly spurs our spiritual growth. Nehemiah not only rebuilt the...
