4. Assist the student in the development of a functioning personal faith that discovers Christ is all that is needed for life’s changing demands. 5. Promote development of ministry skills and spiritual gifts through actual service. 6. Motivate the student to have a proper attitude toward serving the Lord, a burden for souls and a desire to be used of God. 7. Give the student practical experience in the how-to of Christian ministry by providing on-the-job training. 8. Increase the student’s effectiveness by training them to personally share their faith, providing field supervision, evaluating their service, and offering individual counseling. 9. Assist the student in maintaining a proper balance between academic work and Christian ministry. 10. Train and prepare students for current and future ministry. To achieve these objectives, we use a three-fold approach: 1. Education. Early in the school year, students will have classes covering different aspects of ministry such as how to share your testimony and how to share the gospel. 2. Experience. Applying the principles of the Word of God is what life is all about. Throughout the school year we will give the students opportunities to use the principles and methods they have learned. 3. Evaluation. A student’s ministry is evaluated by a supervisor in the church or ministry. This enables the student as well as the staff member to become aware of areas of achievement or areas needing improvement.
