(above) Dr. Coke giving the I & II Timothy Biblical charge to the ministers receiving ordination. Dr. John
Looper, General Overseer, Restoration Fellowship International, Cleveland, Tennessee, has ordained hundreds
of Indian pastors who have completed their Timothy Program education. Each man and woman had Dr. Looper
lay his hands upon them as he prayed for the success of their ministry. Rev. Sam Bakther John (front left) has
the responsibility of overseeing all of these newly ordained ministers. These fine ministers are shining examples
of the original purpose of the Timothy Program International. They have been fully trained, are now active in
ministry, leading Indians to Christ, baptizing new converts, discipling all and giving each a new Bible in their
own language. From these new converts, we are already getting new Timothy Program students who will follow
the same path. We are now seeing God's multiplication process as India is in full revival.

Exegesis Conference. Faculty members donate their
time, airline tickets, food and hotel expenses to the
Timothy Program International's annual budget for
these India conferences. They give annually the
equivalent of $3,500.00 each to the conferences. We
have had these loyal friends of TPI help us in this
same manner for twenty-eight years. As Dr. Coke
has often told them privately, TPI now tells you, "We
could not do this without your help." (right) Karl
