As part of the new Ministerial Development Program (managed by Richard Pinelli) Ministerial Services will be holding two-day regional conferences for full-time U.S. ministers over the next year. These meetings will be composed of workshops to assist pastors in identifying potential candidates for the pastoral ministry. The first four are:
April 26-27, Mountain Region.
May 16-17, South Central Region.
June 26-27, Southeast Region.
June 28-29, Northeast Region.
In addition to the planned U.S. conferences, Mr. Pinelli will be conducting a similar program for Canada between now and the end of the fiscal year (June 30). And in the next fiscal year, plans are for two such international meetings (in addition to the five remaining U.S. regions). The two international areas will be the Philippines (July 2006) and Great Britain (August 2006).
"Please pray for the success of these workshops," said Jim Franks. "It is important for our future that we have a consistent process for developing candidates for the pastoral ministry." UN
