Training

The church is committed to moving our people from "Visitor" to "Nurture", to "Equipping", and finally to "Service" stages. We continually encourage them to join our leaders' meetings which are open to all who are interested in helping in the ministry, and also to attend various seminars offered round about Butuan City. Last June Steve and Kathy King came. Last week Ptr. Don Barry, also from New Zealand, came and shared about the inner life of leaders. Ptr. Don has been in the ministry for almost 20 years and is pastoring a large church. He was also mentored/coached by Ptr. Jack Hayford in the USA together with other pastors and leaders around the world. It was great to have most of our key leaders and ministry workers/volunteers in church attend Ptr. Don's seminar and receive a blessing from him. I was also surprised by our director, Max Chismon, who asked me to share in one afternoon session. I did, and the participants said they enjoyed my session, praise God.
