In rural areas, the capacity-building programs emphasize the training of lay pastors and evangelists through intensive biblical studies, theology, and ethics. This instruction is provided by faculty of the Christian University in Kupang. Some of the lay pastors continue to become ordained clergy of the IPTL.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"float: left; margin: 3px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/iptl1-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"iptl1.jpeg\" width=\"250\" height=\"188\">The church has established a priority to provide scholarships for young people in order to develop future leaders in the country. Through this scholarship program, young people are receiving education in different areas of the medical field and social work. In addition to university scholarships, the IPTL is working with women in East Timor to empower them in leadership roles within the church, the community, and in their homes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":23239,"template":"","region":[20095,20017],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>IPTL Capacity Building and Scholarship Project - Global Ministries<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/project\/iptl_capacity_building_and_scholarship_project\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"IPTL Capacity Building and Scholarship Project - Global Ministries\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Protestant Church in East Timor (IPTL) was founded in 1979 as a coordinating body between formerly independent churches in East Timor.&nbsp;The IPTL is fully committed to and engaged in spiritual, cultural and social reconstruction of their young country.
