Bible colleges in poor countries

Some wisdom gleaned from a missionary lady:

• Often the people best suited to be pastors can't be trained because they can't afford it. The people that end up doing it are those who can - regardless of their appropriateness.
• People who have ongoing low-grade hunger or health problems aren't able to learn as well as people in the West. This includes the longterm effects of malnutrition experienced in infancy.
• It's hard for colleges to subscribe to journals containing cutting edge theology because to do so they have to commit to ongoing financial output. Additionally those journals may not be written in an accessible language.
