CBSI for Evangelists and Church Planters

Fred David was in Myanmar from 21-30 July 2010 helping to set up the School of Evangelists and Church Planters for the Anglican Church in Myanmar. This was in the Hill Station of Pyin Oo Lwin. This is a town 3500 ft above sea-level where in the past the English in the cities of Rangoon and Mandalay would retreat for the summer. The weather is so pleasant that you could be out for the whole days and not feel tired.

Part of the training was to teach the participants to do Bible Study. Fred choose to do the book of James and thus was able to introduce them to CBSI. Praise God for the opportunity. The participants are going to take these studies in their own native languages to the various areas they are assigned to work.

Mentoring Conference 15-17 July

CBSI Malaysia together with St. Paul’s Anglican Church, PJ hosted a Mentoring Conference in partnership with EYL (Emerging Young Leaders). Sam and Priscilla Balachandran from Bangalore, India shared from their own life experiences on how effective mentoring can be. The excitement in them was to see the transformation that the Lord brought in the many lives that crossed their paths.
The Conference was spread over 2 nights and a whole Saturday. The night meetings dealt with how parents could mentor their children.
There was a total of 45 participants and the feedback from one mother was “If I had attended a seminar of this nature years ago, I would have parented my children differently”

A youth leader had this to say, ” I now understand better to help the young people with me.”

What surprised me most was that some senior members came to attend the conference. What a great support and encouragement. Even at their age, mentoring can still be used. Amen
