Examples of Seminars
PHILIPPINES-May 2010
Over 70 leaders came from the islands of Negros, Cebu, Bohol, Samar, Leyte, Palawan, Iloilo and other smaller islands. A team of six leaders met for special sessions on how to setup an effective training program. Two courses were translated into Cebuano and Ilonggo in preparation for the training. Participants noted that the method was very Biblically based and very simple to use. Missionary Paul Wilson is encouraging the leaders to implement the program and he is assisting with the translation and the printing of the materials.
ETHIOPIA-June 2010
Seventeen staff members of the Great Commission Movement completed the training. The course on Christian Marriage was translated into Amharic in preparation for the seminar. Participants commented that the program was both Biblical and easy to use. Eshete Belete is overseeing the implementation of the program. A pilot program has been started as they work on establishing policies and procedures. The Great Commission Movement works with thousands of churches with mostly lay leaders. The opportunities and needs for this program are great in Ethiopia.
IVORY COAST-September 2010
Stephen Ofori, Director of the Christian Leadership Training Institute, assisted me in training sixteen leaders from among the Anyi churches in Ivory Coast. Andy Gable of Christian Missionary Fellowship asked us to assist in strengthening their leadership training program. They use a combination of T.E.E. courses and intensive seminars. T.E.E. Courses have been translated into French, but only a few have been utilized. Their leaders want to revitalize and expand the T.E.E. part of their program.
