Ministry Training Strategy

Today I'm continuing work on stuff to do with MTS, the Ministry Training Strategy.

I'm often told off for over-using hyperbole, or as Fifi calls it, 'being a drama queen'. Ruby's recent response was a confused, "But he's not a drama queen, he's a drama king!" To which I can only say, Preach it, sister!

All of which is a preamble to saying that I really consider it a most wonderful privilege to be allowed in the door, so to speak, and to do some stuff to help out MTS. And—without hyperbole, seriously—that I consider this to be one of the greatest gospel organizations currently operating on the planet. Why? Because they are so sharply focussed on doing just one thing, expressed in this verse:

2 Timothy 2:2 " ...and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful [people] who will be able to teach others also. "

In other words they are training up the next generation of gospel preachers by teaching them the gospel.

There is a lot more to it than that bald proposition, but that expresses their mission well. Check their website:

and if you are in gospel ministry, or considering your options for the future, then get along to one of their conferences next month if you possibly can.

I heard they have a pretty nice team in the office too ;)

I agree with all of your post. What a priviledge to be able to serve in such a great organisation that seeks to raise up people to preach Christ crucified.

Hm
Not a word about Mr Bergman's passing?
I thought you would have been telling us all the Ingmar films you've seen.
Don't think I've seen any, but.
