The weekend seminar in Waukegan is underway despite a slight bump due to the weather. We will make up the session that was missed last night with an extra session today.
Providing educational opportunities for Christians is essential for the development of church members, for the development of the local church, and for the development of leaders and teachers in local congregations. This need is especially pressing among Hispanic congregations. EVO, Education for Vocational Workers, seeks to meet that need by providing seminars to assist with congregational development.
This weekend’s seminar is primarilyi focused on studies in Luke. Participants will be able to develop their own lessons, classes, and sermons from the gospel of Luke, using themes such as the identity of Jesus, discipleship, the upside-down nature of the kingdom, leadership, prayer, and repentance. The study will also note the importance of the many parables unique to Luke.
Pray for our brothers and sisters who are working around the world to evangelize the Spanish-speaking world. The harvest is ready but the workers are few. Pray for us also as we work to prepare more workers!
On a personal note, it is cold in northern Illinois. But after more than a dozen years in Michigan, I know about cold weather. Looking forward to some of the upcoming Latin American seminars with more comfortable weather and temperatures!
