This past week, the missions team made the trip from Cebu City to the city of Santa Fe on Bantayan. God blessed us with good weather and safe travels. While there, the team split to focus on two main ministry gatherings.
The first of these was the Ministry Training Institute. This institute is designed to provide practical teaching and materials to local pastors and church leaders. This round of courses was titled, “Timothy Training Program, Choosing and Preparing Spiritual Leaders”, and focused on how to identify and train up the next generation of leaders in the local church. The class was very well attended. We had a great time of learning and fellowship as we dug into the scriptures and studied this topic that is vital for the future of the church.
The other gathering was designed for youth who are taking their faith seriously and stepping up into leadership roles in their youth ministry groups. The theme for this gathering was “Unashamed”, and encouraged these young people to have boldness in their walk with Christ. Worship, teaching by guest speakers, video presentations, and small group discussions all combined for a challenging day filled with fun, learning, and a call to fearlessly put God first.
