Last night, we finished the second offering of our Teaching Workshop at our church. We had 6 people go through it this time and each one seemed to learn a lot.
Here were some of the comments after the class:
Thanks for the encouragement and the time taken out of your schedules to encourage me and push me in the right direction.
This class helped me in the call to be a teacher ... really reassured me.
It helped me to take serious the Scripture so that I can pass it on effectively.
Each of our teachers-in-training gave their 5-minute lesson last night -- our practical way to have them put in practice the things they had learned in the previous three weeks. Everyone did great. Most everyone was nervous (except me and James!), but they did well.
James and I were just talking about it today over lunch. It is such a rewarding feeling to see people learn and to be willing to take a big step toward service for God. For some, it was a small step in a direction they know they need to go. For others, it was a giant leap into a brand new area of service that may still scare them a bit. James and I are just happy to be a part of what God is doing in their lives. And we look forward to many more opportunities to experience the same kind of thing in churches all across the world.
