Central India – March 16-20, 2009 were the dates for indigenous Pastors and their wives to attend IMI’s annual conference to build up and encourage these co-laborers in Christ. It is always a joy to meet together, to sing, to fellowship, yes. However, when the Word of God is opened and shared, the true ministry begins. This is perhaps the greatest joy and privilege we at IMI have with our Indigenous Pastors.
Our Bible College students were very much a part of this conference along with local pastors. I think the best part of training pastors is seeing the next generation engaged and involved in every part of these learning sessions. Their notebooks are out. Their pens are taking notes the entire week. Most receive exams from their professors on what they learned so it is retained.
Grace Bible College, now in its 5th year of existence is already seeing many of the graduates planting churches, preaching and ministering in full time evangelism.
These conferences are vital to the buiding up and encouraging of our current indigenous pastors and helping to bring up the next generation of pastors and evangelists. Thank you for helping to make this possible with your prayres and financial support! You are a part of this process. To God be the Glory!
