Training for Life Outside the Artificial World
I am excited about the potential ministry of the Institute for Global Opportunities. For over a year now we have been planning for, and discussing, the possibility of beginning a mission training centre in Asia. The vision begins with providing missionary training in an overseas setting. We believe that combining theological and mission skills, training with practical on the field experience, will be a combination that will result in missionaries that are better prepared for the challenges of mission work.
An Avenue to the World
In the late nineteen eighties our family struggled with the question of terminating our role as pastor of the Kitchi Pines Church in Blackduck, Minnesota. We had ministered for about twelve years to the local congregation there. We felt the Lord confirmed our transition to administer at the Sharon Mennonite Bible Institute through the account of Paul setting up a training ministry in a school owed by Tyrannus. This scripture also confirmed what the ultimate outcome should be for any educational ministry.
