Dear ITEM friends and partners,
Once again I am squeezed for time so I will try to be brief, to the point, yet capture the highlights of the day.........
TUESDAY LECTURES
In the basic/advanced track the other men covered the role of the pastor and two lectures on the preaching ministry of the pastor.......
SMALL VICTORY
One woman, who referred to herself as a pastor yesterday, told us today that she would like us to provide a seminar for women the next time. She seemed to be acknowledging that the Bible teaches that only men are to serve as a pastor then followed it up saying that women needed training of their own so they can be effective in ministry as well. AMEN, HALLELUAH......
UPDATE ON PROSPERITY TEACHING
A couple of days ago I told you about a prosperity teacher on the TV. I heard the whole story now. He looked into the TV and told the audience, "I need 1139 of you to send your monthly house payment to me. If you will do that you will own your house in one year." We don't know where the 1139 came from. But this is the kind of deception the undiscerning people here hear all of the time and why we are doing what we are doing. We are here contending earnestly for the faithI'll head for the internet café and hope there is a decent connection.
Keep praying for open hearts, understanding minds, and a willingness to give up traditional beliefs for the sake of the truth. Thanks!
By His grace, Pastor Steve VanHorn
