ON OUR WAY
There seems to
be overwhelming support for the North Carolina School of Biblical Studies by
those of our number here. I hope that you will speak well of the school when
you converse with your friends and relatives. Soon we will begin sending
promotional brochures to congregations in North Carolina, South Carolina and
Virginia. This is part of our over-all advertising campaign. One of the
largest challenges facing us is public awareness.
Once our existence is made known, I believe that we will have a number of
prospective students desiring to enroll. I have been in contact with
individuals who have made statements to me that they "know several who have
expressed to us that they would like to attend a preaching school, but cannot
move a great distance." This is very encouraging to me. It reinforces the idea
that there are several who might consider coming to NCSBS because it is within
driving distance from their home.
I firmly
believe that we are doing the Lord's will be establishing this school.
Certainly, one could not say that the Lord would be against our efforts in
training men to preach the Good News about His Son?
As a product of a preacher training school, I have always had the desire to
teach in a school. From 2000-2004 I taught at the Central Carolina School of
Preaching. Knowing that the elders had been contemplating a school for several
years, I feel confident that we can accomplish great things for the Lord's
church through our combined efforts.
