Pastor
Philip hosted the conference at his house/church. He is an effective evangelist, always sharing
the Good News with nearly everyone he meets. When his church plant began to
grow he wanted to build a church, but there was no land. (Land is an incredibly
expensive purchase, when land can be found.) So, he decided to build UP! He added
a set of stairs and a large room on the roof of his house, which is where our
training sessions were held.
This training group contains several pastors, some
evangelists and also elders (both men and women); each church was invited to
send 2 leaders. Some walked as far as 2-3 days travel in order to attend. And they enthusiastically received the
training, soaking up the Word of God like thirsty sponges.
We have noted that this culture is normally one of formality
and decorum. But as many of you know,
the Activation International presents a very light and congenial teaching
style. We observed that this actually
helped to relax the atmosphere and gave them permission to relax as well. By the end of the training, we knew we had
bonded with many of these leaders, and have strong hopes to return for more
opportunities to strengthen and equip them.
