  9. Goals for the Course Ministry Skills It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teacher, to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up. Ephesians 4:11-12 • To be able to better handle the Word • To grow in various Pastoral Skills • To be Biblical Leaders

  11. Goals for the Course Mission However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the gospel of God’s grace. Acts 20:24 • To equip their people to minister • To change their communities • To develop a global mindset

  12. Process • Must reflect your values and be directed towards your goals. • Where will you develop your training – in the library? In the street? • Who will contribute to the development of the programme? Whose voices will be heard? • Who will decide what needs to be taught? • Needs assessment.

  13. Programme Design • When and where will the training be delivered? Availability of pastors? How many? • What will be the entry and exit points within the programme? • What will be the “flow” and development of the programme? • Who will be the trainers? • Can you ensure multiplication and transferability?
