"Before attending this Teacher Training Workshop, my understanding of theological training and disciple-making was quite traditional. I honestly believed that formal theological education, training servant leaders, and producing disciples were tasks primarily reserved for theological seminaries and Bible colleges. I also viewed evangelism as a specialized calling meant mainly for full-time evangelists, missionaries, and selected ministers.
However, the insights and biblical truths presented during the CCI training completely shifted my paradigm and brought deep spiritual awareness to my heart as a new calling as a trainer. As a senior pastor, the training helped me see my role in a new light. I am not just called to pastor a congregation, but to be a trainer equipped to make new disciples who will, in turn, disciple others.
I now clearly understand that the local church itself must be the primary place where discipleship happens and where theological education naturally flows out into the community. Looking back at the early Christian movement and the New Testament church, I was reminded that evangelism is not limited to a select few. It is the joy and sacred responsibility of every single believer.
This realization has stirred a fresh passion within me. I am currently brainstorming and strategizing on how to build a vibrant culture of discipleship within our church. My goal is to help every member of our church understand their God-given role in Great Commission work, cast a clear vision, and put a concrete, actionable plan into practice.
I am deeply grateful to CCI for organizing this life-changing training and equipping pastors like me to build up the Body of Christ. May all glory and honor be unto God!"
