HOMEWhat is Torchbearers ?
The Torchbearer ministry was founded by Major W. Ian Thomas in 1947. The work began in Capernwray Hall, an old castle surrounded by forests and farms near Lancaster, England. Presently Torchbearer International operates many Bible and Holiday Centers which are inter-denominational in nature for Christian fellowship and training.
HISTORY
In the beginning, after World War II, the work of Torchbearers spread in Europe, particularly among the youth of Germany. Now there are 21 Torchbearer Centers in 16 countries to support worldwide evangelism and discipleship training. Torchbearers Japan was started at Yamanakako in 1987 as the 15th Torchbearer Center.
Purpose
Torchbearers seek to share the Good News of salvation which is available to us through Jesus Christ and His work of salvation (His death on the cross and resurrection) on our behalf. This Good News is revealed to us through the Word of God, the Bible. Torchbearer Centers give opportunities for Christian fellowship and help churches by training people who have accepted salvation in Jesus Christ.
