My husband has felt led of God for the past few months to pursue training in the ministry.  He has felt the need for some intensive instruction in the word, and began looking around online for a seminary that would offer distance education – online or correspondence so that we wouldn’t need to move.  He found a few places, but none ‘stuck’.  So we waited on God and prayed.

One day a letter came in the mail.  Oh dear, another unsolicited request for funds we thought.  Inside of the letter we found yes, a request for funds, but also an opportunity to receive a scholarship for ministerial training.  Men who had received this training from home were now planting churches as bi-vocational ministers.

We applied, and were accepted.  Yesterday we received our official acceptance letter!  We are feeling very, very blessed.

I also wanted to share with you ladies – if any of your husbands have been looking for similar training, please visit http://christianleadersinstitute.org.  I believe that they still have some scholarships available for their January 12th semester.  Also, if you feel led of God to contribute to the scholarship fund, you can find donation information there as well.

We have been busy choosing courses for this semester and checking out book prices and availability.  Please pray  for our support and fortitude to run this new course that God has set before us.  Thank you!
