Today I visited briefly with the chairman of the theology department at Adventist University of the Philippines (AUP), formerly Philippine Union College (third from right). I asked him what he found effective in training pastors to be godly leaders and soul winners. He said “the best way is by example. Every year we target an area for new Adventist work. During the school year we send teams of ministerial students and their friends to that community to work with the local members to prepare the way. Then in the summer I hold a meeting with seventeen ministerial students. Our goal is to baptize 400 and usually we accomplish the goal.” Thrilling and inspiring, and worth consideration on how to adapt back home in the United States.
