Christian Scholar-Servant Ministries Inc

NURTURE OF YOUNG CHRISTIAN SCHOLAR-SERVANTS: PARTICULARLY 4 YOUNG MEN FROM AN INDIGENOUS PEOPLE/MINORITY POPULATION IN BANGLADESH; BIBLE STUDY, ENGLISH CLASSES, INTENSIVE PERSONAL AS WELL AS GROUP DISCIPLESHIP. COMPLETED READING & DISCUSSION OF CORRIE TEN BOOM'S "THE HIDING PLACE" WITH ITS SPIRITUAL LESSONS, BACKGROUND WW2 AND HOLOCAUST HISTORY, AND WRITING/VOCABULARY LESSONS. BOTH DR. CORSON & MRS. CORSON TRAVELED TO BANGLADESH AND PARTICIPATED IN THESE ACTIVITIES. REGULAR WORSHIP SERVICES THROUGHOUT 2022 WITH AN AVERAGE OF 10-12 PERSONS IN ATTENDANCE (CONDUCTED IN-PERSON AS WELL AS BY ZOOM). PROVIDED MEDICAL CONSULTATIONS ON A LIMITED BASIS TO BANGLADESHIS. ONCE AGAIN DID SOME MEDICAL TEACHING WITH BANGLADESHI MEDICAL STUDENT, WHO WAS UNABLE TO RETURN TO HIS HOST COUNTRY OF STUDY BECAUSE OF ONGOING COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS. AFTER FIVE YEARS OF EFFORT AND MANY INTERVAL STEPS, THE REGISTRATION OF IMMANUEL CHURCH TRUST (ICT) WAS ACCOMPLISHED IN JULY 2022 UNDER "THE CHARITABLE AND RELIGIOUS TRUSTS ACT" (ACT XIV OF 1920), A LAW IN BANGLADESH. IMMANUEL CHURCH TRUST AND CHRISTIAN SCHOLAR-SERVANT MINISTRIES ARE SEPARATE, INDEPENDENT ENTITIES, EACH WITH THEIR OWN BOARD. NEVERTHELESS, IT IS ENVISIONED THAT IMMANUEL CHURCH TRUST WILL PROVIDE A RUBRIC FOR DR. CORSON AND OTHERS, INCLUDING BANGLADESHIS, TO MINISTER TO PHYSICAL & SPIRITUAL NEEDS, ESPECIALLY OF THE UNDERSERVED,IN CONTEXTS OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH, EDUCATIONAL, AND MEDICAL MINISTRY IN KEEPING WITH THE PURPOSES OF BOTH CHRISTIAN SCHOLAR-SERVANT MINISTRIES AND IMMANUEL CHURCH TRUST. THOUGH CHRISTIAN, OUTREACH WILL INCLUDE THOSE OF OTHER RELIGIOUS BACKGROUNDS TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED AND POSSIBLE. IN ADDITION TO CHRISTIAN SCHOLAR-SERVANT MINISTRIES (CSSM) PROVIDING HUMAN RESOURCES, CSSM MAY CONTRIBUTE FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO ICT IN THE FUTURE IN KEEPING WITH CSSM'S OWN GOALS OF MINISTERING TO OTHERS BOTH NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY. HOWEVER, CSSM IN AND OF ITSELF HAS NOT CREATED OR ESTABLISHED IMMANUEL CHURCH TRUST. NONETHELESS, THE EFFORT TO FOUND AND SETTLE THE TRUST WAS SPEARHEADED BY DR. CORSON, WHO HAS BEEN MINISTERING IN BANGLADESH IN CONJUNCTION WITH CHRISTIAN SCHOLAR-SERVANT MINISTRIES. AS DR. CORSON'S LABORS HAVE BEEN SUPPORTED BY CSSM, THE REGISTRATION OF IMMANUEL CHURCH TRUST IS REPORTED AS AN IMPORTANT PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENT IN 2022 FOR FUTURE ENDEAVORS OF CSSM IN BANGLADESH.
