India Training Feedback
I recently received the following email from one of our MCL Trainers in India, Pastor Gideon Nair, following his training of our Management for Church Leaders (MCL) training in September:
Dear Pastor,
Loving greetings to you in Jesus name! Its my great pleasure to let you know that the MCL training seminar in Bargarh, Odisha went on well. And I want to thank and praise God for the same!!! In spite of heavy rain there the attendance was very good on both days. On the first day there were 48 people and on the second day there were 56 participants who attended the seminar.
I also got very good feedback from the participants about the MCL training seminar there. People said that they have never attended such a leadership seminar like this before which is very practical and deals with so many topics which are so much relevant to the Church, like biblical leadership, managing ministry, people, conflict, money, time etc…and they expressed their gratitude to me for keeping this seminar there in Bargarh town.
Overall by the grace of God the seminar went on well with people admiring and recognizing the value of this MCL training seminar. The participants appreciated very much the notes, the training manual and its content. When I asked for the feedback on the final day about the training almost every one of them expressed their happiness attending this training seminar.
Testimonies:
1. Pastor David Nayak
Director, Odisha for Christ Ministries, Kesinga Town, Odisha
Pastor David is a Director of a ministry and has about 30 pastors/missionaries working under him in different parts of Odisha. He was so much impressed attending this training seminar that he invited me to train his pastors next time in his home town – Kesinga. He says that he has attended so many seminars on leadership, but this one stands apart from the rest because it deals with everything related to the Church. He says that every Pastor/ leader must go through this training in order to be more effective in the ministry.
2. Rev. Dr. Shyam Sunder
Berean Baptist Church, Bargarh, Odisha
Dr. Sunder is a well known Pastor about 56 years old who holds a Doctor in Theology degree and is pastoring in a big church in Bargarh town. He says that he studied nearly 10 years in Bible Seminary and accumulated all the Biblical knowledge that he could. He also attended so many seminars on leadership. However, he says that he has never come across such a beautifully designed training manual on Church leadership and says that he’s been blessed by attending this seminar. He wants to use the training manual for himself in training other church leaders. He was so much happy that he even invited me to his house for dinner and was so thankful to me for organizing this training in his home town!
Pastor, it’s so amazing the way people are appreciating this training, recognizing its value and the needs for this training, and the subjects I am teaching from the MCL training manual wherever I have gone thus far to train Church leaders!!! I am really enjoying training Church leaders in the different towns and cities of India!! And I look forward to take this training to different parts of India in next year to train more and more Church leaders and request you to please allow me to do at least 6 training seminars for 2015.
I want to thank you so much for giving me an opportunity to be a global trainer for FLM! Assuring my prayers everyday. May God bless you abundantly! Looking forward to meet you soon in Palampur.
With love and prayers
In Christ!
Gideon
It is truly exciting to see our MCL Trainers spreading our training and receiving such positive feedback and encouragement. I praise and thank God for all of the MCL Trainers in our Global Trainer Network and pray for their continued success in teaching our material to others!
