___________ June, 2023 ___________

- - The new "Elder Training Series" is located near the top of the "Home Page - Ministry" web-page and contains important and useful training for anyone who leads a ministry.

- - Persons newly distinctly moving towards full-time ministry:
- - Because it happens so rarely, it is quite thrilling and exhilarating to see when a person or married couple pops-up and starts distinctly moving in the direction towards possibly one day going into full-time ministry.
- - When this movement first starts to become evident, it would be a good idea and important at that time to have a suitable leader in the church assigned to them to personally coach, train, equip, monitor, assist, and advise them, checking-in or meeting with them preferably once at least every 3 weeks.
- - At each of these check-in's, it is furthermore very important to ask them if they are having or are experiencing any difficulties, or problems, or issues, or hindering challenges in their ministry functioning and/or their academic ministry schooling.
- - Otherwise, they are not likely to bring up or mention struggles that they are having if they are not directly asked if they are having any.
- - Even though each of these new potentially-full-time ministry workers obviously may have already demonstrated God-given abilities to do ministry well, nevertheless it would be wise to ensure at this early stage that they get off to a good start and not become derailed or crash-and-burn while they are learning how to do and lead a ministry in a church environment.
- - Furthermore, be aware that if God wants and is moving those particular persons in your church to indeed one day be in full-time ministry, then God has obligated your church to now help them in every way that your church and its members can. God has placed and raised up those persons in your church, which therefore makes it your church's responsibility and duty to help them.
- - Consequently and logically, such help should include providing: needed financial support; housing support, perhaps in the parsonage (if applicable); support for tuition and other related expenses for ministry training by a sound-doctrined Bible college or seminary; exposure to how church leadership functions, by observing your leadership meetings; hands-on experience in doing and leading a ministry; intentional mentoring from seasoned excellent top leaders in your church; and etcetera.
- - To ignore or skimp in supplying these forms of needed support that your church can provide to your persons who are moving towards full-time ministry is a gross failure to fulfill this duty that God has assigned to your church.

- - Running out of time:
We (servants of God) are running out of time to get everything done - all of our ministry work, because April 3, 2034 is coming quickly. As " spoken of through the prophet Isaiah [40:4] : " A voice of one calling in the desert, `Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.' "" (Matthew 3:3)
- - A relating end times event to currently watch for: If the construction of the Temple in Jerusalem indeed will start in the middle of the year 2034, therefore it seems logical and necessary that Jehovah God would need to utterly flatten in an earthquake the Dome Of The Rock mosque years before 2034, which of course could occur any day now until then.
