Reach others with the Good News of Jesus Christ!
Dear Pastor, a great untapped resource is sitting in front of you each Sunday morning—the people of your church. Properly trained, equipped and encouraged, your people can reach your community and change the world.
The Believers School of Ministry will equip your people to share their faith and to use the gifts that God has given them to help others. We teach foundational Bible principles and train believers to do the works of Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit. Each class includes practical hands-on training in ministry skills—such as witnessing, praying for the needs of others, and moving in the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Recommendations for the Believers School of Ministry
I write this letter for the purpose of recommending the Believers School of Ministry that is being led by Pastor Tom Shanklin. I have had the privilege of being an attendee of three of those meetings, and a co-teacher in one of them when we held that school here in our parish during June of 2017. I believe these times of teaching and practical application are terribly important for the Body of Christ, and I know that many of the people who came for these meetings were blessed and challenged to walk outside their denominational “boxes” with regards traditions, and to put into practice the teachings particularly with regards healing, deliverance, and praying for people. I highly recommend these classes and encourage anyone who is serious in following the Lord Jesus Christ and being led by the Holy Spirit to attend. You will be blessed!

Starkweather, ND 58377Thanks to Tom Shanklin Ministries for The Believer’s School of Ministry! It really helped lay a Biblical foundation for our faith and equipped the students to share the message of the Gospel. I have no doubt our church and community will see plenty of fruit from this 12-week course for the months and years to come. It was especially inspiring to hear Tom’s personal stories of sharing his faith and to break up into groups to practice what was learned. Jesus modeled a ‘tell and show’ method when teaching about His Kingdom, this class values and models that as well. If you’re considering hosting this class, I wouldn’t hesitate. A worthy investment with eternal dividends.
