Measure Twice, Cut Once

Every since I came to Christ I have been wanting to learn how to preach and teach in Christ’s name and to that end I have taken my family and myself to different fellowships with may different families that are in Christ. We love to fellowship and learn more about the kingdom of our Lord and one of the things I have been looking for is mature Christians that can teach others to lead. However we didn’t find any that had that blessing in them, so I turned to God to help we and I prayed and waited and looked.

Now here is I believe the hand of God at work, I had been praying and asking God to help me and on my birthday I went into town to get the mail and our regular town trip stuff. I picked up the mail and saw a letter in it from an outfit down in the USA asking for money for some kind of Christian training institute. I didn’t think to much about it as some how we seem to have gotten on the mailing list for this kind of thing. But once we got home I had another look at it and saw there was a website so I decided to check it out. What I found made me very excited so my wife had a look to see what see thought. We had found the Christian Leaders Institute and they train Christians to be godly leaders to carry out Christ’s work. I thought about it as I went over their different courses and read the founders book on home discipleship. I learned that he really tries to encourages the father to take the headship of his home by first  having a strong personal walk with Christ then lead his family in Christ and reach out and be a strong Christian leader in his community.

I was a very happy man to find other Christians that wanted to equip leaders to go out and work for Christ. I have often thought that Paul was a very well trained leader before Jesus Christ called him to do the work he did. I really wanted to get some leadership training before I step out into the the bigger body of Christ and the world. Now I have been given a full scholarship to take training, what a wonderful birthday present God has given me. I will try to keep up to date posts of the course as I go along, but keeping praying God takes care of his children all I had to do was put my heart with his.

In Christ
