I am excited to teach a class this winter quarter entitled "How Do I Pray for and/or Prepare for Ministry and Missions?"
First, I want to tell you what this class is NOT.
It is not only for those who want to be a pastor or missionary.
It is not an automatic seal of ministry approval.
It is not in-depth training for a specific ministry role.
Who is this class for?
If you want to pray more for ministry and missions, this class is for you.
If you want to learn more about full-time ministry and/or missions, this class is for you.
If you want to learn more about ministries in the local church, especially Trinity Baptist Church, with the purpose of praying, refocusing on what God is doing through the ministri, and learning more about the ministry of TBC.
What is meant by "ministry and missions?"
Here is a list to think about:
- International missions
- local missions and ministry
- pastors
- elders
- deacons and deaconesses
- teachers of adults, youth, and children
- the main part of the class discussion in the first two weeks
What is the class going to cover?
