Since the start of this schoolyear, I have been >ehem< "Prof. Dedel" to six students, all male. There used to be eight but one, the lone female, dropped out early and I had to drop the other one due to conflicts in his schedules as he has to work.
In this class I get to teach "the art and science of sermon preparation". Happily, we've been having a blast!
For their Prelims I had my students stand up and preach their sermons one at a time. Talk about discipleship! It was a great privilege for me to see these men slowly but surely hone and improve their God-given skills. We hadn't been together for a month but already they had exhibited noticeable improvement. In fact, the one student that I was afraid would have a difficult time ended up being the most improved!
Today, for their Mid Terms, I decided to let them off easy by giving them a 9-point written exam. They're all quiet right now. You'd think they were in a library or something.
Do pray for them, that the Lord would raise them up to be mighty men of God, boldly and skillfully proclaiming His Word from behind a pulpit or on the streets and sidewalks of the world.
