We've been busy the last two weeks. On Friday Dec 1st, Barb and I traveled to Minneapolis where we participated in training with Crown Ministries (www.crown.org). There we were trained to facilitate their
Biblical Financial Study. This study for Life Groups is a 10 week in-depth study of what Scripture teaches about money and possessions. Life Group Members have confirmed that marriages are being strengthened and individuals are finding their way out of debt. They are also becoming consistent savers, generous givers, and prudent consumers. Most importantly, people are entering into a closer relationship with Jesus Christ as they learn to apply His Word. Groups meet for 2 hours every week and meetings include Scripture memorization and interactive discussions.
There are four requirements for life group members: - Daily prayer for each member of your group
- Memorize one assigned Scripture each week
- Complete weekly homework assignments - both Bible study and practical application. (approximately 2 hours of homework per week)
- Attend a minimum of 8 of the 10 classes
We plan on offering this study to the Barnesville area soon. Stay Tuned!
On Friday Dec 7th, we traveled to Minneapolis again. This time we picked up Ben Collins from the airport. Ben is a Barnesville native who was a youth pastor and worship leader at a church in Portland, Oregon. He has returned to work with us. We are excited to have him here with us.
