Greetings to all my brothers and sisters.
So, I wanted to start a thread where we could post great and innovative ideas from students' Ministry Projects.
I was particularly moved by two students' collaboration on a Ministry Project and wanted to share it with others. Our class has just completed the Old Testament Witness to Christ and His Kingdom. It was a great class that battled trying to understand the how's, what's, and why's of Typology. It was a tremendous 8 weeks. We just finished up at Arby's talking about what we learned and how we did our Ministry Projects.
Our class did a great job on their Projects. One of our church plants had a TUMI Sunday, and two of our students presented to the congregation...absolutely killed it. The word on the street is that one sounded as a seasoned teacher, and the other a skilled preacher. High praise for my fam.
Also, a married couple taking the class collaborated on their Project. They wrote a series of letters to one of their family members. These letters dealt with issues and lessons that we learned in class. And so, they used the principle of progressive revelation to write their series. In other words, they progressively revealed what they learned through this series of letters. But what they were progressively revealing was the promise and fulfillment motif, and it all culminated in the life, death, resurrection, ascension of Jesus Christ. This was not just to fulfill the responsibilities of the Ministry Project. One of the people they were writing to is sorting through the questions of what they believe. This Project was truly a whole-hearted attempt to combine knowledge and creativity to bring glory to the Lord, and hopefully to be used by God to bring someone closer to the knowledge of the love of Christ.
Be encouraged brothers and sisters, the Lord has some absolutely talented warriors in this city, fighting for His name, His glory, His fame. What an honor to sit among them and be inspired by their hopes, their talents, their gifts. Praise to the King!
