Bible School Day One

Today bible school classes started at 9 a.m. There were about 45 pastors and licensed ministers and their wives who came to today’s seminars that were taught by Bethel’s leadership. Many of them traveled over seven hours to get here. They were all very eager to hear what we had to say and to learn about how to make their own churches and future churches better. The classes were taught by

Pastor Doug Davis- Leadership
Brother Tom Vanya- Discipleship
Brother Robert Cattani- Home Care Group
Sister Joyce Sowinski/Brother Dean Byfield – Youth Ministry
Brother Ralph Ausanio- Mandates of
Brother Robert Linder- Men’s Ministry
Sister Vicky Davis- Woman’s Ministry
Brother Alex and his team- Puppet Ministry
Sister Lori Cohan- Children’s Ministry
Brother Robert Linder- Living life on God’s clock.

There was in incredible move of God in both the ladies and men’s ministry seminars, that were held simultaneously. Toward the end of the men’s seminar there was a roar of worship and praise that went up to God as the Holy Ghost swept into the sanctuary where the men were taught. It was so loud that the ladies in the adjacent building could barely hear Sis. Vickie as she taught. This lasted for some time. Then as the men closed out their seminar, the power of the Holy Ghost swept into where the ladies were like a wave, causing an eruption of worship and praise to God. At the end of both seminars, as if on cue, the rain came down pouring down outside.

These classes lasted until 7:00 p.m with a break-through altar service. Ministers and men of God rushed to the altar and fell to their knees and recommitted their lives to God after Brother Robert Linder ended his message. It was overwhelming to witness such a tremendous move of the Holy Ghost in these people’s lives. Their worship was extravagant. In closing, brother Mathiasz emphasized that today’s seminars were God-ordained. He was excited about what took place here today. As the superintendent of Sri Lanka, he is well aware of the needs of the pastors and leadership in this nation. The Lord used us to minister to the needs of these people in a powerful way.

Tomorrow there will be another full day of bible school classes at the church.
