The
Focus of the Training
|
| |
|
-
The Divine Life: Every life needs
training and regulation to help it grow properly and
become fruitful. This is even more true concerning
the life of God that we received when we believed.
Through classes, daily life practices and shepherding,
the training helps each trainee to experience and
enjoy this life, resulting in developing its function
and resulting in fruitfulness.
-
Bible Truth: Truth in the Bible is
fathomless, and to begin to arrive at the full knowledge
of the truth requires intensive study. The training
classes cover key books in the Old and New Testaments,
an overview of the whole Bible, in-depth studies of
the high peak truths, and biblical truths concerning
the Christian life and Christian service. Trainees
are equipped not only for the spread of the truth,
but also to know truth from heresy and false teaching.
- Gospel
Preaching: This training is designed to bring
each trainee into active and fruitful preaching of
the gospel, with very positive and long-term results.
This will be attained through a very strict and scheduled
training programme.
-
The Greek Language (Option): Greek
is the original New Testament language. To be trained
in Greek allows a much fuller view of God's thought
and ultimate purpose as revealed in the Bible. The
goal is that each trainee will be able to use the
Greek Interlinear New Testament, concordance and Greek
word study tools. This will expand the trainee's ability
to accurately decipher and convey the truths of the
Bible.
- Practical
Service: Each trainee is assigned to various
service groups with a schedule of weekly service.
Any church will thrive or decline in direct proportion
to the diligence and participation of all its members
in the various service areas. Training in this area
is an integral part of the overall training objectives.
- Character:
Years of experience clearly reveal that a person's
usefulness depends to a great degree on his level
of character. For example, a Christian worker may
be very gifted and consecrated, but if he is never
punctual his suitability is dissipated. Therefore,
this training affects numerous areas of a person's
character, with the positive result of uplifting his
inherent traits. These areas include diligence, stability,
patience, accommodation of all races and strata of
people, submission, exactness and endurance, just
to name a few.
- Speaking
Forth the Truth: Several times a week the
trainees are given opportunity to speak forth the
points of truth which they have been studying and
they are critiqued on their manner of speaking.
