In Spite of Cold, Mankato Believers School of Ministry Going Forward!

Share the Good News!

THE LATEST NEWS

Our Believers School of Ministry began on January 23 here in Mankato after a blizzard cancellation for the first week of classes. Those who attended on the next bone chilling Thursday night were truly blessed. We had a tremendous sense of comradery as we gathered together in the name of Jesus with the purpose of fulfilling His calling to reach and help others with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Lord has been progressively leading us to “equip God’s people” to do the work of the ministry, in addition to our work of proclamation evangelism. We must get Jesus’ Church back on task—reaching the lost and making disciples! Please pray that God will use these classes, not only here in Mankato, but around the world, to awaken and train God’s people to fulfill the Great Commission.

We are also planning to teach these classes on the first Sunday of each month at For His Glory Church in Spring Grove in southeastern Minnesota starting on February 2. For more details on location, times and classes in Spring Grove click here, or check back to see where we may hold them in the future. Perhaps you would like to have a Believers School of Ministry in your church or community. Let us know!
