**The long-term effects of COVID-19 are still unclear, but the short-term effects have created a multitude of disruptions for ministries all over the world, and the IPHC has been no exception. Cancelled events, social distancing, and a season of setbacks has forced the Church to utilize new methods of engagement. We hope to highlight some of the ways that God has continued to open doors of ministry.** <\/em><\/p>\n

Last November, Men\u2019s Ministries Director, W.A. Mills, traveled to Zambia on behalf of IPHC Men\u2019s Ministries. This opportunity grew out of a two-year mentoring relationship with the Zambia National Men’s Ministries Director, Moses Masese. Mills traveled to take part in the first National Men’s Ministries Conference in Zambia. Following the conference, a plan was made for Mills to continue ministering to the men of Zambia.<\/p>\n

That opportunity came around this year. Starting on May 14, 2020, Mills conducted a 12-week training seminar with the men. The course was titled \u201cGod\u2019s Guidance for Christians in Conflict.\u201d Over the 12 weeks, Mills led the men through different sections of the New Testament that teach about healthy, biblical conflict. The final week of the course ended with a Peacemaker\u2019s Pledge Ceremony where each man was challenged, through the power of the Holy Spirit, to apply the principles learned during the course in their daily lives.<\/p>\n

Rev. Mills commented, “One of my highlights during the COVID-19 quarantine has been the opportunity to provide a weekly Bible study for the men of Zambia. Digital platforms such as Zoom, Facebook, and WhatsApp have provided a vehicle for discipleship that is now opening doors for similar training in the Southern region of Africa. It is my desire to provide similar discipleship opportunities for IPHC men across the nations of the world, including the USA. I am available to network, participate, teach, and lead men interested in a mentoring relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moses Masese expressed his thanks for the training: \u201cWe are so grateful to God for Director Mills\u2019 continued commitment to disciple the Men of Zambia. This training is transforming our lives and our churches. Surely God is at work in our lives, and we give him all the glory. We are thankful for his [Mills\u2019] servant leadership. We have a focused group of 100 Men who will be disciple-makers from this training.\u201d<\/p>\n

Currently, Mills is leading another study with the men of Zambia called, \u201cThe Barnabas Factor.\u201d Additionally, the opportunity in Zambia has opened new doors of ministry. In September, Mills will begin leading the men of South Africa through a book study of What is a Man?<\/em> by Joaquin Molina.<\/p>\n

Bishop Tommy McGhee stated, \u201cThis has been a unique opportunity for W.A. Mills, our Men\u2019s Ministries Director. The COVID-19 scenario has limited W.A.\u2019s ability to travel and reach men, but technology has allowed him to continue in ministry. The men of Zambia have been very open and receptive to his ministry, and W.A. has been blessed by the opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Los eventos cancelados, el distanciamiento social y una temporada de contratiempos han obligado a la Iglesia a utilizar nuevos m\u00e9todos de participaci\u00f3n. Esperamos resaltar algunas de las formas en que Dios ha seguido abriendo puertas al ministerio. ** En<\/em> noviembre pasado, el Director de Ministerios de Hombres, WA Mills, viaj\u00f3 a Zambia en nombre de Ministerios de Hombres de IPHC. Esta oportunidad surgi\u00f3 de una relaci\u00f3n de mentor\u00eda de dos a\u00f1os con el Director del Ministerio Nacional de Hombres de Zambia, Moses Masese. Mills viaj\u00f3 para participar en la primera Conferencia Nacional de Ministerios Masculinos en Zambia. Despu\u00e9s de la conferencia, se hizo un plan para que Mills continuara ministrando a los hombres de Zambia. Esa oportunidad surgi\u00f3 este a\u00f1o. A partir del 14 de mayo de 2020, Mills realiz\u00f3 un seminario de capacitaci\u00f3n de 12 semanas con los hombres. El curso se titul\u00f3 "La gu\u00eda de Dios para los cristianos en conflicto". Durante las 12 semanas, Mills gui\u00f3 a los hombres a trav\u00e9s de diferentes secciones del Nuevo Testamento que ense\u00f1an sobre el conflicto b\u00edblico saludable. La \u00faltima semana del curso termin\u00f3 con una Ceremonia de Promesa del Pacificador donde cada hombre fue desafiado, a trav\u00e9s del poder del Esp\u00edritu Santo, a aplicar los principios aprendidos durante el curso en su vida diaria. El reverendo Mills coment\u00f3: "Uno de mis aspectos m\u00e1s destacados durante la cuarentena de COVID-19 ha sido la oportunidad de proporcionar un estudio b\u00edblico semanal para los hombres de Zambia. Las plataformas digitales como Zoom, Facebook y WhatsApp han proporcionado un veh\u00edculo para el discipulado que es ahora abriendo las puertas para una capacitaci\u00f3n similar en la regi\u00f3n sur de \u00c1frica. Es mi deseo brindar oportunidades de discipulado similares para los hombres de la IPHC en todas las naciones del mundo, incluido Estados Unidos. Estoy disponible para establecer contactos, participar, ense\u00f1ar y liderar a hombres interesados en una relaci\u00f3n de mentor\u00eda ". Moses Masese expres\u00f3 su agradecimiento por la capacitaci\u00f3n: "Estamos muy agradecidos con Dios por el compromiso continuo del Director Mills de discipular a los Hombres de Zambia. Esta capacitaci\u00f3n est\u00e1 transformando nuestras vidas y nuestras iglesias. Seguramente Dios est\u00e1 obrando en nuestras vidas, y nosotros denle toda la gloria. Estamos agradecidos por su liderazgo de servicio [de Mills]. Tenemos un grupo enfocado de 100 hombres que ser\u00e1n hacedores de disc\u00edpulos a partir de esta capacitaci\u00f3n ". Actualmente, Mills est\u00e1 dirigiendo otro estudio con los hombres de Zambia llamado "The Barnabas Factor". Adem\u00e1s, la oportunidad en Zambia ha abierto nuevas puertas de ministerio. En septiembre, Mills comenzar\u00e1 a guiar a los hombres de Sud\u00e1frica a trav\u00e9s de un estudio de libro de \u00bfQu\u00e9 es un hombre?<\/em> De Joaqu\u00edn Molina. El obispo Tommy McGhee declar\u00f3: \u201cEste ha sido un oportunidad para WA Mills, nuestro Director de Ministerios de Hombres. El escenario COVID-19 ha limitado la capacidad de WA para viajar y llegar a los hombres, pero la tecnolog\u00eda le ha permitido continuar en el ministerio. Los hombres de Zambia han sido muy abiertos y receptivos a su ministerio, y WA ha sido bendecida con la oportunidad ".
