Detailing Schedule

This morning I met with Barb the president of WBC and her husband Ray to talk about calsses and the schedule and then Ray wanted to talk with me. I always allow Ray to speak into my life, he is a very smart person with a lot of experience and understanding. I wrote this blog after we met with some of the things Ray said that challenged me.

Barb and I discussed a lot of the details for the different classes I wanted to offer our students to be able to fast track them to get their certification done in their first year. She made a couple phone calls and got a couple intructors lined up. She asked Wendall Clark to teach Spring II Synoptic Gospels, he does a great job with that class. She also got Rick to teach Spring I Bible Study Methodology.

It was a great meeting. There was some talk about creating the ESOM for 'export', build it be able to plant it somewhere and the program to be able to reproduce. They have a couple leads in Florida and Indiana that this could eventually venture. That is VERY exciting.

We have a meeting schedule again for December 4th with Rick Oller, the Dean of Students. Look forward to that meeting.

Personal Investment

I visited my family for Thanksgiving and was talking to my cousin Tyler. I have been on him for the last couple years about the calling of God in his life. He feels called to ministry, mostly worship and singing. From what I have seen and heard he is a great vocalist. He also has some things going on in his life that would be huge for him to get away.

I told him in depth about ESOM and he loved it and felt it would be exactly what he would want and need. Since then he has been praying and seeking God for this next step. He is trying to find an apartment but also a job that can pay for living expenses and ESOM.

I really hope he can make it.
