How many of us would be willing to sleep on a concrete floor for two weeks, with only a reed mat to alleviate some of the discomforts? November of last year, 28 students from different regions of Malawi came to Lilongwe, the capital city, for two weeks of ministerial training. They sacrificed a lot in order to gain knowledge and spiritual impartation. At the end of the training, 21 of them graduated with diplomas. To qualify for a diploma, students must complete five cycles of three subjects each. Rev. Althea Meyer has been directing Advance School of Ministry (ASM) in Malawi for a number of years, and she has been doing an excellent job. She has now relinquished this position to Rev. Charity Mkamanga who is very qualified to direct the program.<\/p>\n
ASM has been a vital tool for training leaders in various countries in Africa. Many church leaders have graduated from the program, some of them becoming National Overseers. In Malawi, the ASM diploma is a prerequisite for leaders before obtaining their ministerial license and ordination. ASM has made a great impact on church growth and leadership development, which is much needed in third world countries.<\/p>\n
The greatest need we have is monthly financial assistance. Many of the students have God\u2019s calling upon their lives, but struggle to attend the training due to financial restraints. Each student has to raise $30 for their books and food for the two weeks of training.\u00a0 If you can assist with any monthly contribution, it will make a huge difference in helping some of the students become better equipped for ministry. You can give online here<\/a> or your donation can be sent to World Missions Ministries Division, earmarked with project number 98021P \u2013 Advance School of Ministry Africa.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Joe Delport, IPHC Missionary & Director of ASM Africa How many of us would be willing to sleep on a concrete floor for two weeks, with only a reed…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":1377,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[207,35,78],"class_list":{"0":"post-1376","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-world-missions","8":"tag-advance-school-of-ministry","9":"tag-africa","10":"tag-malawi","11":"entry"},"title_es":"avance Malawi","content_es":"por Joe Delport, IISP Misionero y Director de ASM \u00c1frica \u00bfCu\u00e1ntos de nosotros estar\u00eda dispuesto a dormir en un piso de concreto durante dos semanas, con s\u00f3lo una estera para aliviar algunas de las molestias? Noviembre del a\u00f1o pasado, 28 estudiantes de diferentes regiones de Malawi lleg\u00f3 a Lilongwe, la capital, durante dos semanas de entrenamiento ministerial. Ellos sacrificaron mucho con el fin de adquirir conocimientos e impartici\u00f3n espiritual. Al final de la formaci\u00f3n, de los cuales 21 se graduaron con t\u00edtulos. Para calificar para un diploma, los estudiantes deben completar cinco ciclos de tres sujetos cada uno. Rev. Althea Meyer ha estado dirigiendo la Escuela Avance del Ministerio (ASM) en Malawi desde hace varios a\u00f1os, y que ha estado haciendo un trabajo excelente. Ahora ha renunciado a esta posici\u00f3n para Rev. Caridad Mkamanga que est\u00e1 muy capacitado para dirigir el programa. ASM ha sido una herramienta vital para la formaci\u00f3n de l\u00edderes en diversos pa\u00edses de \u00c1frica. Muchos l\u00edderes de la iglesia se han graduado del programa, algunos de ellos convertirse en Supervisores Nacionales. En Malawi, el diploma de ASM es un requisito previo para que los l\u00edderes antes de obtener su licencia ministerial y la ordenaci\u00f3n. ASM ha hecho un gran impacto en el crecimiento de la iglesia y el desarrollo del liderazgo, que es muy necesario en los pa\u00edses del tercer mundo. La mayor necesidad que tenemos es una ayuda financiera mensual. Muchos de los estudiantes tienen el llamado de Dios en sus vidas, pero luchan para asistir a la formaci\u00f3n debido a las restricciones financieras. Cada estudiante tiene que recaudar $ 30 para sus libros y alimentos para las dos semanas de entrenamiento. Si usted puede ayudar con cualquier contribuci\u00f3n mensual, se har\u00e1 una gran diferencia para ayudar a algunos de los estudiantes se encuentran mejor equipados para el ministerio.
