Developing Pastoral Counseling In The Missionary Church Of Brazil Through The Oms International, Darrell Wayne Mishler

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The local pastor will have ample opportunity to counsel his flock. This, simply, is a fact. People will bring their problems to him, and the well-being of his ministry-not to mention himself--may depend on the pastor's management of these important times. The "people-helper"-oriented pastor will probably welcome this ministry, even though it has the potential of being a stressful form of shepherding. A goal for this project is to facilitate the development of the pastoral counseling role of the Brazilian local pastor, making him as totally effective a minister as possible.

Theological Education In The Third World: An Appraisal And Recommendation, Thomas Warren Hawkins Land

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Theological education in the third world is caning of age, but not without growing pains. The church overseas has been experiencing tremendous growth in recent years and is becoming more mature. Because of this, the demand for well-trained leaders has increased remarkably. In many areas of the world, the established theological schools have not been able to supply the necessary numbers of trained pastors required by the churches. This is further aggravated by the fact that not all of the graduates of theological and Bible schools actually became pastors. This phenomenon has precipitated a serious and necessary re-evaluation of the …

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Excerpt: "The Free Methodist Church was organized in a meeting at Pekin, Niagara County, New York, on August 23, 1860. It came into existence as a result of spiritual declension in the parent body, the Methodist Episcopal Church. The call issued for the meeting by B. T. Roberts in his magazine, The Earnest Christian, identified several positions as a basis for the convention, including (a) the doctrines and usages of primitive Methodism- the witness of the Spirit, entire sanctification as a state of grace distinctive from justification attainable instantaneously by faith, free seats, congregational singing, and plainness of dress; …
