ministers want spiritual training to become more effective for the kingdom of god. thus we created the Pastoral Care Program to meet this need where learned and spirit-filled ministers teach and mentor our native missionaries.
We have had this program for quite some time, but we recently decided to change our schedule and conduct it once every three months. our aim in providing additional sessions was to more deeply impart biblical knowledge and ministry skills, enable ministers to experience more of the presence and power of the lord in their lives, and develop a meaningful fellowship among ministers of the gospel. to accomplish this, we use every available means the lord has so graciously provided us with.
in recent sessions, we tackled the following subjects: basic Christian doctrine, methods of studying the bible, personal evangelism, sermon preparation, pastoral counseling, knowing the lord god we serve, the mechanics of praise and worship, and the pastor’s family orientation. We have seen the spirit of the lord move in every single session, opening the eyes of our spirits to see the god we serve. every session has also been characterized with joy and reverence. Ministers and attendees are not only praising the lord with loud voices, but are kneeling, bowing and falling on their faces before the lord in deep reverence. hallelujah!
these ministers belong to the indigenous people groups in the Philippines. these are sincere people who want to be of use to the lord and have a strong desire to learn. they are destitute of means and, using very primitive tools, live by farming along the hillsides of their ancestral lands.
to bring native ministers in for the seminar is not an easy task considering the state of roads and the expenses necessary to cover travel, food, materials and administration. i am appealing to our Christian brothers and sisters for financial help to equip these native missionaries with knowledge and experience for the betterment of the tribal churches of the Philippines and for the expansion of god’s kingdom in our nation.
