Training objectives

Once a person shows themselves to be "reliable" and "qualified" through actual ministry situations, they should begin a training program to further develop character, knowledge, and skills.  This is so that they can be thoroughly equipped for the requirements of leadership: serving, giving direction, 'steadying the ship in times of storm', and self-sacrifice.

The following objectives should also be aimed for as part of the training program:

• Having a mature theology based on a strong knowledge of the Bible and God's plan of salvation.
  
• Understanding the jigsaw-puzzle of life (one form of which is that presented in this booklet).
  
• Being visionary.
  
• Able to communicate and equip well.
  
• Skills in management - self, time, ministry, people, finances, home, etc.
  
• Having an owned philosophy of ministry.
  
• Seeing oneself as part of a dynamic
  web of relationships.
