WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A SHEPHERD


I recently attended the school board for our vernacular language Bible School. What this means is it is a Bible school that trains pastors who have not had an opportunity to go to school. They know how to read and write, but they are not strong in this area. The majority of our pastors have been trained at this school and are doing an admirable job.

We decided this year to implement a program that will enable them to learn how to care for sheep, and at the end of the year, the graduates will go home with a sheep in hand and a promise to contribute one sheep back to the school to help another student. The goal is to help our pastors learn how to do something that will help improve their living conditions. This was a tangible idea that will help do that. I'm excited about it and look forward to what this does. It is a small thing, but it has potential to help pastors catch a vision for what they can do.
