Its time to study. There is a 20 page outline, single-spaced, cross-referenced, and with a myriad of Bible verses that we will need to know inside-and-out while we're in Africa. The African pastors are hungry for the Word of God and will listen attentively to the Bible being taught for hours on end.
Unlike the U.S., there are not many places to which a pastor can go for intense Bible training...that is where Equipping Pastors International comes in! Pastors like Phil regularly meet with indigenous pastors overseas to hold Bible teaching conferences that supplement the other small amount of training they receive.
Tonight we are the students. Between now and our departure in July Phil is going to be teaching us the same content we will be helping to share in Uganda and Kenya. In small chunks at a time he will take us through the lessons line-by-line, step-by-step.
This is actually our second time through much of this material. It is the same teaching we received in our pre-marital counseling 13 years ago this summer! How exciting to share with others the keys to the door to our marital house.
