Teaching, Training and Sermon Manual for Pastors, Church Ministers

Biblical method for the training of Church workers can be called modeling. Jesus was a model for His disciples. He showed them how to do ministry. The Pastor is to be a model for the members of his church congregation. He is to show them "the how?" The Pastor is like a playing coach, he does ministry works himself, but his primary responsibility is to train Christians to do their assignments in the Body of Christ. He is to carry his church members along with him, to show them the strategy for soul winning, how to visit the sick and the elderly, how to live a successful Christian life, etc. He is to demonstrate how to counsel and witness to others. He is to be a model for his church members.

The materials in this book had been used to train church workers in various churches both within and outside Nigeria. They are designed for use in the New Believers Class and for the training of church workers to educate them about the demands of their new responsibility in Christ and to enhance the quality of their service delivery in the church of God. The Christian nurture materials in this book are specially packaged as a teaching and training guide for the use of Church Leaders. It is my belief that the use of the materials in this book will be of immense help to the contemporary ministers of God in their bid to train and equip new converts and church workers "for the work of the ministry, and for edifying the body of Christ" (Eph. 4:12).
