This week we hosted Dr. Stephen Anderson who is the president of Transworld Accrediting Commission International. We were connected by mutual friends and are looking into taking our Intern Program to the next level of being accredited. Dr. Stephen enjoyed watching LSU defeat the OSU at an intern party at Wade’s house and the next day gave our church/intern program a thorough evaluation. Dr. Anderson was impressed with the scope and curriculum of our intern program and we will soon be able to offer an Associate’s Degree in theology and Christian ministry to our second year intern grads. There is also the possibility of even more good news in the future regarding some possible financial aid. It’s exciting to see what God is doing as we train up the next generation of church leaders. Pastor Wade and Rob have done a great job of providing an avenue for our youth to be trained in the classroom but also trained in the field of real church. Too often our knowledge is limited to just what we’ve heard instead of what we’ve learned and DONE. Jesus taught in Matthew 7 that the ones who heard and did were like those who built their lives on the rock. It seems that we have a grace for education and we can’t wait to see what else develops as we work for God to see Him set the lonely in families, set them free and give them great joy.
