"Show
me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth,
and teach me for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all
day long."
Psalms 25:4, 5, NIV
The Great Commission, given to us by our Lord and Savior as His
last earthly message to us was:
"Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them
to obey everything I have commanded you."
Matthew 28:19, 20 NIV
Three things have to happen to bring souls into the Kingdom, and
not one can be left out or set aside as being impertinent to God's
holy plan. They are as relevant and equal in His plan and purpose
for saving and nurturing the soul as the trinity is to God's plan
and presence. Therefore, we preach the message, baptize the believer
and begin a lifetime of teaching the discipline of the Sacred Word.
How do we bring all of this together on the mission field?
We build schools and hire Christian teachers.
Good Shepherd Ministries have seen thousands of children directly
impacted with the gospel through their schools.
"As I have traveled around Haiti I have personally met graduates
from Good Shepherd Ministries schools that are now serving as pastors,
teachers, doctors, and government officials. These graduate students
are maintaining strategic roles vital for the desperately needed
changes in the country of Haiti"
Quote from Bill Younger the Executive Director of Good Shepherd
Ministries
Jesus was a teacher. He taught in the Synagogue, on the mountainside,
by the sea, and on the sea. His creation was his pulpit. He used
parables, analogies, and comparisons to teach truths.
The Sermon on the Mount was a discourse by Jesus to teach us how
to live, to shape attitudes, to teach the character and purpose
of discipleship.
By providing these schools we have the opportunity to disciple
these children with the hopes of seeing them surrender their lives
to full time ministry. These graduates then become the seeds for
the planting and development of churches for the future.
How
do we finance the operation of our schools?
We have developed a program of sponsorship called:
SAC
Support A
Class
One Hundred seventy-five dollars a month will supply a teacher
and some teaching materials for a classroom of students.
How to make it happen?
Seven people committing to giving $25 a month will support one classroom.
A family, a Sunday school Class, or a couple could sponsor a class
by working together in such an effort.
Can you imagine the unspeakable joy in providing a year of education
to a whole classroom of boys and girls?
We invite you to be a link in the Christian Education of these
children. Please contact us and let us know what God is telling
you.
