I'd like to share some thoughts from some of the pastors and future pastors who are in classes here in Belize. Perhaps through these comments you may get a sense of their hearts and be more motivated to pray for them (and their teacher!)
These comments are all taken off of tests that were turned in.
..............
From a church history class:
"The part where Bonhoeffer says that he developed his theology of "costly grace". And it is true because Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross for our sins."
(p.s. "Costly grace" is the idea that it costs someone something each time grace is given. Often, as in Bonhoeffer's case, it is very costly, it cost him his life...)
"The discussion that showed that pressure on the church brings reformation. That suffering is a vital part of Christianity because it causes the child of God to draw closer to Him for strength and when the corporate church is going to God for the same thing then revival breaks out."
"I have learnt alot from this course, especially about what people had to do and what they went through to get where we are. Also, how the church grew tremendously in some parts of the world. It is up to us to keep the church / Christianity alive."
..............
From a class on Declaring the Gospel:
"Struggling sometimes, feeling weak sometimes but I want to trust my good Lord to help me more in all my life. Amen"
"I have to go and make disciples in all the villages."
"I am part of the Great Commission now because I am beginning to sense changes in my life that I can't understand and I want to help others to know about God also."
..............
You don't know these students / pastors as I do but I hope you can hear something of their hearts. Let that guide your prayers for them!
Be blessed!
