Youth Leaders Training Seminar



PHASE ONE WEEK ONE
February 16, 2008

During the past three years, JESUS EVANGELISM MINISTRIES (JEM) has been conducting series of seminars for pastors, church leaders and lay leaders.

This year 2008, however, JEM had decided to concentrate on training and equipping youth leaders from various churches. This, we hope will enable our young people to become better future leaders of our churches and nation tomorrow. If we are able to establish a vibrant youth ministry through our training program, we can ensure having an efficient and effective youth ministry in our churches.

Our first phase of Youth Leaders’ Training for this year started February 16, 2008, at the Open Bible Standard Church, in the city of Buchanan, Grand Bassa County, Liberia.

The first speaker, Pastor Love W. Gibson, spoke on the topic “HIV/AIDS”.

Our first speaker works with Samaritan's Purse Liberia as County Coordinator for the OVC (ORPHANS and VULNERABLE CHILDREN) Program which is a section of the HIV/AIDS Department.

The second speaker was Rev. Benjamin T. Munford. He spoke on the topic: “THE 21 IRREFUTABLE LAWS OF LEADERSHIP”.

After lunch, we had our last session. During this last session, we witness a film called “The Ancient Path”. It is a video on Church Planting Training for Oral Cultures. The speaker spoke on: The process of Church Planting, and Story Telling in Church Planting.

We trained about 35 youth leaders from 10 local churches!

Kindly keep us in prayer for the second week training of phase one which will be on February 23, 2008 at the Open Bible Standard Church.

Many thanks,

The Rev. Benjamin T. Munford
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
